An actual real work comparison is the bridge after the Chase at Bathurst and I'm pretty sure we all know what happened there and what changes were made after PR broke his ankle there. |

A potential F1 track designed by Alex Wurz, in what looks like a sci-fi theme park development, in Saudi Arabia: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/saud ... 3/4655199/ |

Hockenheim and the A1 Ring are simple layouts that produce decent races  two classic tilke tracks provide decent racing yet everybody shits on him. too bad his clients want car parks instead of racing circuits. |

I have no problems with long tracks as long they have patches of grass (or that dragstrip product from hockenheim) alongside to ensure track limits |

I thought the Viet Nam circuit would be more of a city track. But it seems to be more purpose build track in the end? |

Renault has the 2nd best engine. Just behind Ferrari and just ahead of Mercedes and well ahead of Honda. According to themself. I'm gonna make a bold prediction now: Daniel will be out of Renault before the season is over. During the season he signs for another team for 2021 and Cyril goes full bat shit crazy ex girlfriend again and kicks him out before the season is over. |

I will make another prediction. Ferrari will be fastest in winter testing and all annalists will say how the Ferrari's will be real competitors this season and that we will have a very exciting season between Ferrari and Mercedes. Ferrari will be faster during free practice in the first race too. And all of a sudden Lewis or Bottas will rape Q1 and win the race with quite a margin. Last year the fastest Ferrari in Barcelona had 1.16.221 and in Q1 in may it was 1.16.272 The fastest Mercedes had 1.16.224 but in Q1 Barcelona it was 1.15.406 |

This year will be different. No? Please?

fingers crossed for RBR-Honda getting their shit together to make it at least feel like Lewis has to work for it this year. |

they still say Honda is lacking performance. Imagine their speed when they get the same levels as Ferrari and Mercedes

Honda have got the engine finally to challenge for the win. Max matured big time from 2018. So i have high hopes on him and Charles (but we know ferrari will mess up in strategy or pitstops) Bottas 3.0 will last till Monaco and then he will be back to 1.0 cuz he cant keep with his team mate the whole year on that level. Like in Germany 19 when Lewis messed up and it was Valteris chance to take the win, but he puts it in the wall. That way you will never make it. Look at Rosberg 2016 he was always there 2nd,3rd behind Lewis but when Lewis messed up he was there and took it all and we know how it all ended in 2016, they had some crashes too that year.... |

Reading reports that the 2020 Ferrari is already making engineers shake heads and aerodynamicists wince as they try to ape Red Bulls rake for extra downforce Such doom and gloom this early can only mean one thing Congrats Sebastian Vettel, 2020 world champion |

If Ferrari and Red Bull can improve just a little bit, we might actually have a competitive season with 5 drivers in contention each weekend (I say 5, because I'm yet to be convinced by Albon, and Max is going to be incredibly tough to beat). My biggest fear is that Mercedes plan to leave in 2021, so they've put all their effort into 2020 and dominate even more. |
