Verstappen thinks that Red Bull could have dominated F1 like Mercedes is doing now if the turbo hybrid rules hadn't been introduced. I remember the times when Vettel was doing awesome things at Red Bull. Red Bull was really dominant those times.

Looks nice. A little bored all that black but I prefer this more then too colorfull cars.
Let's see what this car can do this season.
The "fun" thing is that drivers and teams hate black cars because they are hotter so drivers get more temperature and the car risk more damage cause it needs more cooling.
I don't know if they pick black like Mercedes for the Black live matter movement or it is a choice without that reason.
Will be strange if they took black without the Mercedes' reason.
Only Hamilton wanted to change his car from silver to black. Anyone knows if Mercedes will be silver again next season?

The last rumors of F1 told us that Lewis kinda secretly signed the new contract but it's only for 3 years and not 4 as he demanded... . In my opinion , he should stay in F1 in trying to go for the 8th title but that would be almost impossible for him as I do believe there will be a fierce battle for the F1 title in 2021.
I saw yesterday the car from Alpine F1 and to be honest it kinda looks awful ...I was expecting to be a bright blue with that orange near it but instead they came with that mix of colors around the car which makes it an old Force India model lmao.

We may be already have a new car.
These are the probable colors picked by Alpine aka the old Renault, they changed the name with the sportive department of the team.

Thank you for sharing, i think it looks good with the new design and colors. I also hope the performance is also good for the TOP 3 or 4 teams at this session. Also the fight between Alonso and Riccardo is interesting.

Well Leclerc is also tested positive on Covid-19 today. So he is number 5 if I am right.

Yes, unfortunately I have seen it. First, Norris and now Leclerc. I hope Leclerc gets well soon too. I also hope that we don't see any F1 pilot to test positive during the season.
During the season wouldn't be nice. The only good thing what can happen is that Hulkenberg would be back for 1 race.

Formula 1 2021 Calendar will be consist of 23 events and would start with the Bahrain Grand Prix on 28 of March and ends with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on 12 of December, I am sure excited for every event that may occur, and due to COVID-19 regulations, some events will surely change regarding the status of the drivers and situations that may occur but still looking forward that all event will be held peacefully.
Let's hope all drivers won't get Covid this season.
On the other hand if Hulkenberg can replace them he still got a chance to get on a podium.
Yeah! I hope all Drivers and their crew is safe as well, I think they are really implementing new guidelines in getting ready with every Grand Prix event, which will open on March 28 in Bahrain.
And regarding the Australian Grand Prix formula, one management and local authorities were unable to reach an agreement in bypassing the 14 days quarantine which is why it is moved to November 28 this year in Melbourne.

Hamilton has the opportunity with Mercedes to get the 8th title so I why playing it so hard?
It's weird, isn't it? The longer it goes on without news of an agreement, the more you wonder if there is a fundamental problem that can't be resolved. Of course the news outlets are coming out with all sorts of wild rumours, probably none of which are true... but still, why no news?
All fans are waiting when Hamilton signs the new contract. If it's just about the money I just dont get it. He already got enough so signing for a few million less isn't even that bad.
On the other hand, a season without Hamilton would be way more entertaining I guess.
A season without him would be really entertaining I agree but chances of this happening I think are zero.Hamilton in the end will surrender and sign whatever offer Mercedes throws at him.If I were him I would have done this.That is because that 8th title chasing is his biggest motivation to continue racing.

Seems that Hamilton want 40 million GBP. Wondering how this story will end.

Imola is back as the "bonus" GP.
I don't like it was better having Mugello or Portimao.
They kept the most boring of the 3 races, meh.
Yeah, Imola probably wasn't preferred track by fans. I would have liked to see Portimao or Istanbul, Mugello is good track too. But it's still not announced where they will race on 25th April, probably it will be one of these tracks.I don't like it was better having Mugello or Portimao.

It will be strange to see Australian GP in November. And I still can stand that last races will be held in extremely boring Abu Dhabi and probably not much better Jeddah track. I miss times when season final was held in Brazil.
I read/hear it a lot that a lot of fans want Brazil back as the final gp. I think the were also discussing this on WTF1.
Abu Dhabi is just a boring race. They should just try out another layout. The can switch around a lot there.

Seems that the GP of Monaco is also not sure. They have to close of course all the public roads and they don't want to do that in Covid-time. Just like it was cancelled last year.
The organisation got time till begin May to let the F1 knows if it can continue or that it going to be cancelled.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if there were some old school routes on the calendar again, and the best thing would be to deactivate DRS on the old school routes. The pilots have to take greater risks and then you stay in the gravel if you make a mistake. We'll see what happens this year.
