Lewis Hamilton led the Qatar Grand Prix from start to finish with Max Verstappen also soon settling into second place. The action mainly happened behind them where Alonso for instance returned to the podium after 7 years.
they have never been particularly brilliant, its the car and at least 1 driver that make the team shine, not strategists, that's for sure
Yup. It’ll go to race wins which Verstappen will be leading 9-8 IF Hamilton wins the next two. So the fastest lap point is crucial as it’ll determine how they may get to the last race. Whoever is leading will have a nice advantage and can get the elbows out a bit more.
What I found interesting was that there was a cameraman right next to him to capture the angle of the Mercedes coming into the pits. I wonder if it’s a thing now where it’s accepted all the teams do it anyway, so they just have a mechanic there who looks out for the cameraman?Tizz wrote: ↑21 Nov 2021, 16:59Literally ALL the teams do that...Just_a_fan wrote: ↑21 Nov 2021, 16:46Noticed one of the Red Bull mechanics standing out at the corner of their box as Hamilton pitted. Looked to be a deliberate ploy to mess his exit slightly.
Nah. It won’t come to that assuming 1-2 finishes for both drivers the rest of the way. They’ll either be level- ish entering the last race or if Verstappen wins this or Saudi then it’s a pretty large gap.InsaneX_Badger wrote: ↑21 Nov 2021, 17:15I can see verstappen winning by a point by the end of the season by how these fastest laps go
Depends if red bull pit second to last lap for softs, then i dont see hamilton being able to match on his mediums. But given hamiltons pace this weekend it's not completely unthinkable it could happen.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑21 Nov 2021, 17:17Will Hamilton be able to take back FL from Max? Or will it need to be Bottas trying it on softs?
