Mazepin will get a podium at this rate.

Not sure, but I'm starting to think the alternative strategy was the way to go

Gaara · PostPosted: Sat Jul 18, 2020 4:46 pm

Mazepin third

Schumacher is doable

Gaara · PostPosted: Sat Jul 18, 2020 4:47 pm

Mazepin takes it easy

Vassago · PostPosted: Sat Jul 18, 2020 4:50 pm

Russia 1-2!

They haven't had this much success in Hungary since 1956!

Shwartmann wins!

Something with a Ferrari badge on it can actually win :8:

since 1956 we don't see such a Russian domination in Hungary

Ilott gets a second chance on pole tomorrow

Very clean and well managed race by Mick today. Did about as well as he could given the strategy.

Nicely done, Bobby Blackman.

A career in trying to drag the Alfa off the back row awaits.

Russia/10 race

Great singing, the wodka is already open.

Ferrari staff coming over so they can at least celebrate something this season.

I do feel bad for Mick, though:

Spielberg 1: silly mistake ruins his feature race, which because F2 is F2 it ruins his sprint race too and he finishes 7th
Spielberg 2: slightly iffy wet qualifying, improves well in the race to finish 4th, then on for a good result in the sprint race when the fire extinguisher goes off
Hungary 1: leading the cars on the standard strategy, only to get mugged by 2 drivers on the alternate including his team mate and finishes 3rd

As a result he's 7th, 44 points behind his team mate after 5 races. He's had the pace but because of the gap and the short season, his championship's basically over already. Still, looking at where Alfa are, another year in F2 may not necessarily be a bad thing...

Disappointed in the stewards that Ghiotto's Dirty block on the outside of turn 3 wasn't penalised.

That was like Senna hitting Mansell's wing off with his late chop without the mitigating circumstance of having to avoid a slow backmarker too

As the team radio said, if that wasn't dirty driving, I don't know what is.

FIA always are lenient on these kind of swerve blocks and that gives the drivers the message to keep doing them. Ridiculous.

Aside from that, fun race. I love it when the tyre strategy means the racing isn't over after the final pitstops, and there was a lot of tast passing here today
It's getting to the point that the outside t2 inside t3 move is one of my favourite overtakes in all of motorsports. Love seeing that bravery pay off and we got plenty of that today.

A great race.

And, just because misery loves company:

Mick's in the box seat here. He'll have so much less deg on those tyres by the end of the race

I knows the Formula 2s. Can't understand why Virtuosi brought Ilott in so early

Posts that aged well

Yeah, that'll distract them...*cough*

Time for second race

Schumifan · PostPosted: Sun Jul 19, 2020 10:41 am

Everyone pitting for softs, Schumacher unlucky again with a slow stop

Schumifan · PostPosted: Sun Jul 19, 2020 10:49 am

Ilott has 5 laps to close down 25 seconds... going to be closer than yesterday

Have the F2 strategic geniuses dropped the ball again?
