Do you think the undercut costing Leclerc the win in Singapore was intentional? Nice to see Vettel at the top of the podium again but I really wanted to see Leclerc pull off the three-peat.

Me personally I think Ferrari just saw the opportunity for an undercut and took it to help preserve the Ferrari 1-2. Maybe they didn’t expect Vettel to be so strong on his out lap but at the same time Vettel NEEDED that win, you could see the emotion on his face during the podium. Leclerc is definitely the future of Ferrari and I don’t think it’s gonna be the last time we’re gonna see Leclerc have an opportunity for a three-peat or more

Sure was a dik move anyways. No doubt Ferrari was just glad to get the 1-2 any way it could have happened. Constructors championship is pretty much out the window anyways but its gonna be an awesome last 6 races if the red bull cars stay competitive. I'd like to see Albon get up in the mix for the lead. Gonna be some awesome racing.

Vettel would have been happy with a second place finish as well but nice to see him perform again

Any predictions for Russia?

If Ferrari can keep up this form and Red Bull bounce back it should throw everything out the window and make it interesting. I’m kinda surprised Red Bull were off the pace in Singapore but maybe they had tire management issues, which also could be why Ferrari were so strong.

Mercedes unfortunatly have both championships wrapped up already but you never know. A couple of double DNF’s and Ferrari dominating the remaining races could change things, although it’s pretty unlikely lol.

I think Russia is a bit of a crapshoot. Mercedes should be strong and Honda brought a new engine but Verstappen, Albon and Gasly are all taking 5-place penalities with Kyvat starting last. If Ferrari’s new package works here too it should close things up

It was a jerk move, but Ferrari is desperate to get anything done against Mercedes.
My favorite driver is Bottas, so it doesn't really matter to me if the red team battles within itself though.

Not sure it would matter who the driver coming up was, Vettel is a racer and took track position.. Stewards would have intervened if the move was against regs.

They need to worry about racing Mercedes more then racing there Ferraris against each other.. Vettel launched thru the start in Russia, Ferrari 1-2, Leclerc on the radio again and somehow they end up chasing the MB for 3rd...

I watch F1,very happy the way the season is going for team Mercedes.
I don’t think Hamilton can lose the championship,he just can’t help but win.

Hamilton is awesome. Stays so calm in the car, same with Vettel, that's the difference between the veterans and the new kids, I believe with time Albon and Leclerc will be the top of the game. Verstappen is a great driver too but I don't think he'll ever relax enough to achieve his potential. I really like as well Riccardo but the move to Renault was bad timing.

Wonder if De Vries will take a seat in F1 next year

F1 has never been to Edmonton. I think you are thinking Indy Car?

Cart series I believe. I did Fire on Pit row during pit stops. Was fun to be on the wall beside refueler and tire guys.

The 2020 season starts this weekend, If anyone is interested in building a fantasy team I created a Snow and Mud League. d9cc3ca14c is the league code to join in once you've created your team. pick 5 drivers and one constructor and lets see who comes out on top!

McLaren just pulled out of the first race today as a crew member has Coronavirus.

This will probably be the only race with public allowed in the stands. All events are all being cancelled world wide for any larger public gatherings now. NHL just announced that it is halted.
