Haas has built a great team for next season.
From the disastrous pair of Magnussen and Grosjean we are going to next generation drivers with Mazepin and Schumacher.
I love the way that Mazepin drives and the way he performed in F2. I hope that Haas is going to give them both a decent car and make the competitive in the championship.

Haas F1 has indeed a great line up for the upcoming season of 2021.Mick Schumacher has shown more consistency than Mazepin during F2 season as he is the leader there for the moment.If Haas do not provide them a better car than the actual one it will be a bad starting season for both of them.Nevertheless in the worst case if this happens at least they will have enough track action through 23 races to build up experience and confidence in their first season in F1.

Grosjean is going to Abu Dhabi right after he got discharged from the hospital. He want to race in Abu Dhabi when he is able to it. He got the most problems with his left hand at the moment.

I am really happy about Mick Schumacher will race for Haas in F1 next season. It is really good to see a Schumacher in F1 again. I'm sad for hearing that Lewis Hamilton got covid-19. I hope he gets well quickly. George Russell has a good opportunity to show himself in a Mercedes in remaning races. I hope he uses this chance nicely.

The most interesting thing for me is how Russell shapes up against Bottas. Remember Bottas was widely thought to be an excellent driver until he joined Mercedes and found himself measured against the relentless winning-machine that is Lewis Hamilton. It's a completely different sort of pressure to be driving in the best car and being expected to win. It will be fascinating to see how Russell handles it.

Yes, also good to have the Schumacher name back next season. Let's hope he is as exciting to watch as his dad was. And we also have Alonso coming back, too:)

Welcome to the Honda Pol Espargaro, he has officially joined and will be Marquez's partner for next season. Honda seems confident after Espargaro has performed well with KTM for 4 seasons and this year he has performed outstandingly even though he has never won but at least he has been on the podium 5 times this season.

this is the chance of a lifetime for russel, to show how much it's really worth it is also an excellent test to understand if the mercedes is an unbeatable spot or if it dominates only for Hamilton.
in addition to the next gp on sunday, it is also run on 13 december, russel could be lucky enough to drive for both races

Russel is very young, plus he is coming from a very slow car to racing in the fastest car in f1 history, so it is not the same. Nobody doubts his talents, I think he is definitely going to be a f1 racer very soon and he will definitively get offers from other teams right after this as well, there are tons of older racers who may not get offers or maybe Russel get offers before them, but Russel should wait because he can definitely take Bottas' place in few years and that would mean he could go for a lot of championship.

However I doubt it will be this race, this is this kids first race ever in f1 if I am not wrong, and that means dude has to get a grip and get used to it, this may take a few races for him to get good, so let's not judge him directly if he ends up not even finishing the race, those things do happen in life and he will be a young excited stressed very young kid racing the fastest car.

It's hilarious thinking about the butterfly effect with a Chinese dude eating a contaminated bat in Wuhan resulted in George Russell getting the drive at Merc. Cheesy

I think it is a great opportunity for Russell to run for Mercedes.He has won every battle in the qualifying against his teammate.Also he is a great driver which has shown great skills with a slow car like Williams is nowadays.He may win the race and beat Bottas also but let’s see.

HAHA.

Russell is strong you will see, I hope I beat Bottas. It will be hard since he needs time to adapt but I'm happy for the guy.
He used the weakest car for 2 years and how he has an opportunity to use the best one.

I also think Russell is a good and strong driver, he make a good Job with his worst Williams, but i don't think he can beat Bottas Huh

Bottas knows the car and can adjust it better right away, but for Russell it's all new again. I would be happy for him if he can replace Hamilton in the last two races.

It would be great if Russell scores his first points. It's about time he get some. This is the best opportunity for him to grab some.

Heard Hamilton also can't take part in the last race of the season. If that's so, it's a weird season end for him. Became the champion and don't take part of the last 2 races.

Yes. In a way it's fortunate that he contracted it after securing the championship. If he'd caught it earlier in the season he might have missed 3 races, and we'd end up with perhaps Bottas as an undeserved champion - as I'm sure he would have acknowledged. I mentioned this earlier in the season. Fine if Stroll or someone misses a race, but totally different if it's a championship contender.

Quote from: Cnut237 on October 14, 2020, 09:02:24 AM

Lewis Hamilton is currently a long way ahead of the rest, and looks set to be world champion. But... this is dependent on total points acquired over the course of the whole season. If he contracts Covid and misses a few races, he can find himself out of contention. The issue is not that people have Covid, it's that some people have it whilst others don't.

I doubt that he can show amazing results on his first weekend on new car without much preparation. I often see comments that anyone would win races on Mercedes car, but I think it's not true.
It also would be interesting to see Hulkenberg, it would be good chance for him to reach his first career podium. But I think it's not likely that Mercedes will pick him.

Just in the last GP, the Italian commentators of sky (they are very nerd about formula 1) said that one top driver can't remember the name said is one of the more skilled drivers in the formula 1 and one of the hardest to beat back in Formula 1.

Can't remember the name but they were talking about a top driver in a top team. I will not write a name because I'm not sure.

Even Norris back on days said that Russell is stronger than him.

Grosjean won't race this weekend. He will be replaced by Pietro Fittipaldi. I haven't heard anything about the last race of this season.

I am really worried about this, I don't understand why to make Fittipaldi, who is a rookie in formula 1, race on a circuit that will be new and therefore will not have any kind of information, a circuit that will have very high speeds.
It would have been much better to have a more experienced driver, compared to someone who has never raced in formula 1

Haas announced that Nikita Mazepin signed multi year deal:

Personally, I would liked to see Shwartzman or Illot, but not surprised about Haas choice. Another kid of rich father in F1.Though, he isn't bad like Latifi.
Other spot is reserved for Mick Shumacher.

Russell is a risk... for Bottas.
Russell is very strong and I think he can go faster than Bottas Grin

I like him and this could be a possibility I forgot about him.

I doubt that he can show amazing results on his first weekend on new car without much preparation. I often see comments that anyone would win races on Mercedes car, but I think it's not true.
