Hopeful the Prancing Horse cars prevent another first lap debacle by taking each-other out.

The sharpest end of the grid is now separated by a few thousandths....history proves the ebb and flow of dominant teams does not last....if RBR has regained their dominance, may it be so; if MB regroups and places an eighth WDC in HAM's seat, may it be so.

Easy to think the track will favor Red Bull, BUT you can never write off Mercedes and Ham.

Translation: Another EXCITING race.

Will be interesting to see if ALO continues his ALO like form of the last two races.

I love this track on F1 2020.

Hopefully the rain comes for both races, but I’d take one.

Without their 'expanding' winglets hopefully the gap to RB will increase and Merc will know how the others suffered through their not really deserved c/ship wins that went on for so long.

Glorious track but watching Rossi escape from certain death is still so frightening.

Rossi is contemplating of calling it a day with the 1 litre bikes.
In the days of Agostini and Sheene they were 500cc!

Power gap..shrinking

Interesting slide on the ICE power efficiency between Honda, Merc, Ferrari and Renault.

Honda experienced a power loss from 2016 to 2017.

RA618 Spec 4 PU at the end of 2018 was a significant increase in output, one they claimed was their biggest single gain ever.

2019 PU seemed on par with Mercedes.

It has been reported the 2021 PU power increase surpassed the gains of that 2018 Spec 4.

OMG....I remember the Rossi incident from Austria....it is one of the most terrifyingly close calls to instant death i've ever seen.

Binotto: Should’ve addressed the problem two-years ago

"BINOTTO: WE SHOULD’VE ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM TWO-YEARS AGO"

Really? Yah think

Tired of the excuses!!! I can't remember the last time Ferrari got things right. From "Our wind tunnel data doesn't correlate" to the bloody pull rod / push rod cuck up...Bloody Hell...I'm sure I forgot a few but GEEZ, it never ends
