Not much action in today's race. Hamilton managed to lose race in such stupid way that I have no words. Interesting that he already have 10 penalty points. If he will get 2 more, he will have to miss one race.
Bottas said f*ck to haters, but saying it after he won race in such way - well, it doesn't looks like a strong message.
Not a bad race for Leclerc - P6. But for me it was a bit strange that stewards didn't even investigated his accident with Stroll.

Well, it was very stupid how he lost this race but all the blame is for his team.
He got the instruction and the permission to do this action which led to the time penalty.
I wonder why Hamilton is getting so much hate. He is the best driver on the grid but still people don't like him...

As expected safety car happened at the start and affected the race, Hamilton made it a bit more fun for Bottas. 

Names of the day for me were Gasly, Leclerc and Kvyat. Those 3 had the best possible race they could've had and it was nice to watch Gasly coming back and taking the points his team thought he deserves Cheesy 

Sainz, what a blunder, but he will learn from this one for sure. It was quite ok race to watch, could've been a bit more fun, but it was good enough considering it was Sochi after all.

It was a interesting race yesterday. I liked the battle between Norris, Albon and Gasly. That was quiet interesting racing.

At the front of the race not that much happened. Bottas was just cruising and Verstappen managed to closer the gap on the end but he was just too far away.
Good to see Verstappen can still finish a race.  Grin

That's right, Hamilton has to study the rules.

Two weeks ago, when he entered the red at Mugello he went to the commissioners without knowing the meaning of the flag he had seen at the entrance to the pits.
Today he did a starting test on a point where he couldn't do it, TWO times.
When he took the penalty today, he asked on the radio why they why he needed to wait 10seconds on the pit box change.
I understand that you are probably the strongest but at least the basic rules ...

They did give him 2 points, to take him to 10 and within 2 of that one race ban. But...
They've now gone back on that decision, and fined Mercedes instead (because it was the team's fault, rather than the driver's).
So Hamilton is back to 8.

Double noob mistake done by Hamilton today  Shocked, Mercedes won anyway with Bottas and Hamilton managed to do less damage possible to his position in the leadership.

He has now 45 points of advantage and 7 GPs left, everything can happen but he already has almost 2 Gps of advantage, assuming both wins for Bottas on these GPs.

The next GP is in Germany at Nürburgring in 2 weeks and we have 3 more GPS in Europe.

Will be maybe fun to see GPs here in Italy in November with a possible cold temperature and no grip for cars  Grin

Today is another race where what looked like a routine Hamilton win was thrown into doubt because of outside events rather than wheel-to-wheel racing. 2x 5 second penalties for practice starts, and Hamilton now has to fight his way back through the grid. He did ask his team if it was okay, and they said yes... the fault lies with the team, but should Hamilton have got the penalty if it was entirely the team's fault? I think probably yes... he has the best car because of the team's decisions during the design process, so it's only fair that he also receives the negatives from when the team makes poor decisions.

Pole 96 for Hamilton Roll Eyes



Source Pic: https://sport.sky.it/formula-1/2020/09/26/formula-1-diretta-qualifiche-pole-gp-russia-sochi-2020

The start will be fun for sure, in this race is better starting from the second or third position since there is a long way before the turn they can reach higher speed for the wake effect.

Weather will be probably sun for all the day.

Verstappen at P2 comes really as a surprise. He wasn't that strong in the free practices. He found some extras during the final qualification run.

Let's hope he get the same speed tomorrow.

Ferrari crashed! Red Flag. Hamilton is in a risky position.

Qualifying is the same as the races this season. Basically Hamilton wins, unless there is a crash from someone else which creates unforeseen problems for him.
He got pole anyway today, but he may have a further problem as a result of the Q2 chaos - it means he has to start the race on softs...

Very chaotic qualifications, again very bad for Ferrari. Verstappen on the front row will surely make the race more interesting on the front too if he manages to have a proper start and no issues, he picked up a nice slipstream  Cheesy

Focus on midfield though, again so tightly packed, almost all in 2 tenths, it will be a safety car right on the start I believe and it will affect the race surely.

Ferrari crashed! Red Flag. Hamilton is in a risky position. he has 2 minutes to make the lap and for the moment he has no time.

Even if he can't stop not a big deal Mercedes is dominating here and it will be easy podium

So after many speculations it's already fix, next year Rossi drive at Petronas Yamaha.

https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2020/09/26/valentino-rossi-signs-with-petronas-yamaha-srt-for-2021/347071

I think a good deal for all but the best option for Yamaha.

That's why there was a rumor that Toto Wolff would leave Mercedes (and maybe Mercedes will leave Formula One).

I don't know if Ferrari realizes this, or care about it, but "vetoing" Mercedes man while pushing former Ferrari man isn't a great look !

Domenicali is now the CEO of Formula 1, officially.

Binotto also released an interview today saying that also Toto Wolff was in the list to be the CEO but his name was banned by Ferrari.

Ferrari since is in F1 from the start has a big political weight but Domenicali has been chosen by the entire circus, no one has voted negatively to this decision.

Ferrari seems a slightly better car with the small improvement done to the car, the improvement is to prepare the next car for 2022.

Bottas is every Friday the fastest but he don't get that much poles on Saturday. Don't know how that comes but its weird.

Daniel is doing well the last weeks. Let's see if he can do a good qualifier again.

I don't know what Hamilton was doing during the first practice but finishing as 19th is way too low for him. Let's see what he does this afternoon in the second practice.

The times weren't representative of actual pace. Hamilton didn't set a time on the softs, then when he switched to hards he locked up massively and damaged the tyres.. and then had to continue on them instead of wasting a new set. I would fully expect Hamilton to move right up to the top of the leaderboard alongside Bottas in later practice and qualifying.

He is now at #1 during the second practice. Would be great to see him beat the record of Schumacher this weekend.
