- Mercedes is looking dominate already
I've been watching Mercedes completely dominate this season! Just like Schumacher/Ferrari in the early 2000's. Lewis is in a world of his own... and will probably pass Michael in total wins this year (which I never thought anybody would!) Hopefully the new 2022 car/rules will level the playing field a bit. I will say I have been enjoying the racing that has been going on behind Mercedes. Nice to see Mclaren/Renault/Racing Point/Red Bull battling. Red Bull seems to be the only car that can even get close to the Mercs... I'd love to see Max in an equal car...as I feel he is the guy who could take it to Lewis.
Good to see racing back...and on almost every weekend!
The race for P3 is the only reason that I keep watching in the era of F1. Also maybe a little bit of hope that Ferrari will figure things out without turning into a Red Merc.
Haas: However I am impressed that Mr. Haas is backing the team for another year. Those guys really like getting it handed to them.
Williams: I’m sad to see the family leave the team. I finally thought they were starting to make some progress. This team has an amazing legacy and I hope 2021 isn’t the end for them.
Carlos S: do you think he’s kicking himself for the switch to Ferrari? McLaren have finally found some pace just in time for his departure and Ferrari is trying to set new lows.
Grosjean, K-mag, Torpedo, “Daddy’s money” Stroll, and maybe Latifi: in the grand scheme of things not awful drivers, just not F1 quality. Time to release them from starting spots, maybe keep them as reserve drivers or encourage them into another racing direction. I’d like to see Hulk get another shake, and there is some real talent in F2 with very little room step up. I think there are a couple other drivers that could potentially open seats up for F2.
