F1 Race

[SaintHacker]

Looking at the track layout sadly I think it's going to be Monaco without the shops...........

Not so sure about that, the F2 and F3 races were decent, and given there is virtually zero run off I think we might see a good race

Will be interesting to see if Max can hang it out around the outside of the first few turns and get in about the Mercedes at the start.

Safety car re-start procedure deffo needs looked at. Guys at the back passing massive flashing green lights while Bottas still doing 60mph and weaving back and forth at the front before crossing the start finish line.

Just glad no-one was seriously hurt, that was VERY dangerous.

Madness? Mugello needs to be a permanent race!

To be fair he never slowed down, some idiot in the midfield dropped back too far and then gunned it causing the other muppets to do the same. From so called professional drivers it really was poor from the back end, they just made an assumption.

However I do think that swerving should not be allowed once the safety car had gone in, stay on line no swerving like other forms of racing.

I wasn't blaming Bottas, it's the lights that don't match the rules. There is no safety car line there as it's not a regular F1 track so Bottas doesn't have to drop the hammer until he crosses the start finish line. However, all you can see on both sides of the track as soon as you come onto the start finish straight is flashing green lights. Those same lights would have been flashing with the Safety Car warning symbol before so as soon as a driver sees them flashing green they are obviously gonna floor it as they are racing again. The lights should not have been flashing green IMO.

I missed the lot, including the highlights show due to the M4 being shut un two different places followed by Sunday tailbacks and then the race track that's the M25 so will watch it on catch up, I know the overall winner, thank you Capital FM ! but it sounds like wacky races for the 2nd week running

I thought the chat with Toto Wolff was very interesting.
A 3 year old son, a gorgeous wife, a bank full of money and the stress from the job giving him migraines, who would blame him for calling it a day at the end of the season.

Personally, I thought Mugello to be rather mickey mouse TBH.

I'd love to see more street circuits personally but at the same time want lots of passing opportunities as well..... and the two don't always come together

Mugello was 'different' and for me would take some getting used to if it were to be a regular circuit

For me one of the highlights of this year has been the lack of street circuits. Can't stand them. The old school real circuits like spa and silverstone are best. Most of the Tilka-drome circuits are dull too. There's been a couple of good modern circuits but it's a pity Turkey and Malaysia didn't survive commercially.

I worry a bit about F1 going to Portimao later this year. Was there to watch world superbikes last year. Decent track for the bikes but I think it may be too small and cramped for F1.

I'd agree about street circuits. Monaco is all about history and glitz, dreadful race circuit but the race is almost second fiddle to everything else gping on in the city. Baku is ok, quirky but with a couple of passing opportunities, Singapore is just crap end of

There seems to be a push amongst the F1 hierarchy towards street circuits which seems to be more to do with money than the racing. Street circuits on the whole tend to offer too few opportunities for overtaking and really close racing. There are some great circuit designs out there but not always chosen because of the cost of hosting the race.

Do i want pretty, Monaco style, circuits or lots of overtaking, as the two don't come together

Would love them whilst we're without spectators to try some new tracks or one s that dropped off the calendar due maybe to the logistic s of 100,000 people on a race weekend
