British F1 Grand Prix
« on: 16 July 2021, 09:14:28 »
I am looking forward to this weekend especially as I will be able to watch live.

Interesting change. Quali today, Sprint race on Saturday.

Will the new format be a success?

Initial look at the 2022 cars is promising in terms of bringing back excitement to the sport especially reducing the wake for a following car.

Nor me. It seems like yet more Walt Disney motor racing, that foes nothing to address the real problems with F1.
Dont know yet if next years cars will be able torace closer or not, but they look hideous.

F1 not that long from now will cease to have internal combustion engines cars, although electric is being ruled out by some.

Hydrogen powered cars seem to be a favoured option:  no more roars and smells!! ::) ::) :D :D ;)

Progress eh? ;D ;D :)

They are already hybrids that sound like a BSA Goldstar on steroids rather than the spine tingling scream we used to get from the V8 / V10 / V12 engines previously.  :(
Having said all that qualifying was superb. Hamilton was on the absolute ragged edge and actually had the car completely sideways near the end of his lap, but was still fasted of all.
George Russell,s 7th place for Williams was bordering on the miraculous.

Roll on the “ sprint” race. Russell is pretty impressive.

I dont often agree with Christian Horner, but he has called for the reintroduction of high revving internal combustion engines, running on sustainable fuel to keep the tree huggers happy.
The most sensible thing I have heard from a team principal for a long time.  :)

Wonder if Norris has recovered from his mugging on last Sunday.

On paper, the sprint race should be great. 17 laps flat out, no tactics, tyre stops blah blah blah.....
Hopefully the reality pans out that way. We will find out shortly.
Race start 4.30pm. Channel 4.
