F1 2021 Round 7 : French GP (Paul Ricard)

Was gonna say hopefully Perez is just minding tyres but aside from Monaco really there's no point in trying an overcut.

Might be time to cut my losses and go do something else with my Sunday afternoon.

This race is such a procession after a few laps. DRS is of not much use and barring rain or an error by someone, it's pretty boring.

Bono isn't paid enough.

The gap between the onboards and wide shots is ridiculous. Looks like they changed focus each time they cut away from an onboard.

This is going to be a snooze fest...

Charlie-Bravo

10 laps in. Well done everyone so far for hanging around.

Only hope is Verstappen timing the undercut well. After that can turn off.

Dunno about that. The Joshua Tree was a big seller for him.

The only royalties Bono sees is Sir Lewis

MadYaker

Nice move from lando there

Itssoeasy

Unfortunate mistake by max is making this race kind of a procession baring some **** up by merc.

Charlie-Bravo

Well done McLaren, now catch up with the LeClerc and take him!

Rossi IRL

Sainz slowing down everybody else

Charlie-Bravo

Vettel flying in those hard tyres.

Faugheen

Was just about to say that the McLaren's are the only ones looking comfortable out there.

MadYaker

Hopefully merc make a mess of Lewis’ pit stop

Burkie1203

Bottas gonna get a penalty for that

I ****ing hate these ****ing tyres.

You'd wonder how much the Sky lads are watching,

Russell passed Latifi quite a while before they mentioned it, then saying the McClaren tyres are looking good while an on-board of Lando shows probably the worst looking front left we have seen so far.

McLaren are flying comparatively though.

Faugheen

Bottas told to go there.

Two stopper?

They are, but I'm sure Brundle was talking about the tyres.

Will be interesting to see.....I was about to say how Danny Ric does, and that undercut has done them the world of good.

Nah, harder, fresher tyres going on with less fuel. Tiptoe around til the end.

Faugheen

Super laps from LeClerc and Ricciardo.

Rossi IRL

Merc leaving Hamilton out is a bit dodgy

Sainz hangs on longer than anyone else and gets passed. No benefit to minding tyres. Just a nonsense.

ctrl-alt-delete

So the undercut is working, can see the gap between Max and Bottas there,

How is it going to affect Hamilton, soon to be seen.

Rossi IRL

Merc have bottled that completely

klose

Fcuk yeah

PsychoPete

Max making up for lap one there

McFly85

Get in Max

Itssoeasy

That was close but max verstappen is ahead of Lewis.

namloc1980

Yes!!!!

Faugheen

I was looking at the times and I thought Verstappen had got under 25s. Great out-lap from Max

ctrl-alt-delete

Game on again, a quicker pitstop than Max but Lewis still comes out behind.

Looking forward to the memes of Mercedes lads dressed up in Ferrari gear. :pac:

TheDoctor

Didn’t see that happening

MadYaker

Ok this is a bit more interesting, Perez still has to pit

ctrl-alt-delete

Not sure you want to be hearing your engineer saying "not sure what happened there"

Itssoeasy

The team saying they don’t know what happened.

Charlie-Bravo

Class by Max and RB to get back race position.

JeffKenna

Lessons need to be learned

MadYaker

Bono’s not sure what happened haha

ctrl-alt-delete

"calm yourself down Max" :pac:

Lawlesz

Bono is so cringe, even when he's breaking bad news he does it in a chirpy voice, as if he's hoping to disarm Lewis from going off on one

If Verstappen goes handy now he could bring Perez back into play for the end of the race. But he looks like he closing up rapidly on Perez. Perez only just gonna get out ahead of Norris at this rate.

Faugheen

Haven't heard Max that agitated in the middle of a race like that before.

Itssoeasy

Not the normal calm max on the radio.
