The ultimate pay-driver. Not satisfied with paying for a seat (which, after all, could disappear if a higher bidder comes along), Daddy Stroll bought the entire team. I wouldn't mind so much if he was actually a decent driver that simply failed to find the commercial backing or get into one of the YDPs, but he just isn't that good.
Turkish GP is shaping up to be a complete crazy spectacle. Racing point on pole. The track is one big oil spill. Wet weather predicted. Red Bull can't race on inters even when it's drizzling. Mercs basically nursing the cars. Vettel out qualifying Charles. Also so many spins.
That was a crazy race.
Congrats to Hamilton. SEVEN WDCS!! Holy shit.
Good to see Vettel back on the podium. Someone give Perez a drive!

Best race of the year so far, pretty crazy.
Probably running on a Pentium 4
That's how you get from inters to slicks that were even softer and faster than the softest slick tyre without wasting 20 seconds on a pitstop.
What a horrific crash. Grosjean would be decapitated if it wasn't for the halo.
Jesus Christ! Glad Grosjean was alright.
I feel bad for Perez, but am glad for McLaren (WCC boost!) and Ricciardo (WDC boost!).
The guy who crossed the track to help tend to Perez's car was lucky. And stupid. Mostly stupid.

1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
2) Unrack
3) Crank out 15 reps
4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day
I've always understood the purpose of the halo, I've never liked the look of it, or the fact it has a bar right down the middle of the driver's vision.
That said, after yesterday, I will never utter a bad word against it and defend it till my dying breath, we were saved the most horrific of incidents yesterday. Grosjean is the luckiest man alive right now.
Ex-Mod. Technically retired, they just won't let me quit.
That's exactly what I'm talking about, the guy is a living meme with all of his crashes, at what point do you pause and realize that you might not be there for your family if you continue...
I mean.. all F1 drivers are well aware of the risks and consequences, but if you're constantly ending up in a wall or DNF, maaaybe rethink your profession.

Hamilton will miss the next grand prix due to s positive corona test.

So Russel to replace Hamilton and Aitkin to replace Russel at Williams. Also Mick Schumacher will join Haas in 21
Russel getting to drive the Merc is pretty awesome, I really hope he does well.
I don't get the Russel thing. Isn't in Stoffel Vandoorne reserve driver for Mercedes?
Because Mercedes wanted Russel for 2021 instead of Bottas but Williams said no. So now when they had a open seat they asked Williams again and the new management said yes. Also they need someone to take over when Hamilton finally leaves F1 so now is a perfect opportunity to evaluate Russel for that future role in the team. Had Williams said no again, Stoffel would have had a change to drive.
