F1 Official Thread - Grand Prix of Britain

DTS really made me dislike George Russell.

He comes off as an entitled jerk. I have a feeling that he thinks he's Nico Rosberg and has a real chance to outperform Sir Lewis.

I feel like he can be a team player but does have his own ambitions. He was willing to help Latifi sometimes and he did seem to help Albon get a seat. You kinda need the confidence in order to be at the top. His resume is not bad either as he has a F2 title and GP3 title. He was able to outperform Bottas at Sakhir with equal machinery even though the seat didn't quite fit him. He also did some pretty crazy things in the Williams last season so I see the potential.

I also have a feeling George will go ahead and try to shock the world. Hard to see him
being ok as a 2nd driver if he can out qualify L

Yeah I definitely agree that he will try to make his mark early on.

But it'll resort in a comically stupid shunt. He's not Nico.

zeroregret theres a difference between confidence and arrogance. GR is arrogant.

Those wheel covers are awful... I hope they don't go with those

Idk, it’s a clever way of selling sponsorship space

They were testing some LED wheel covers, which could make things interesting for night races.

No one should make a judgement about a person/character based on DTS. They make stuff up and create their own storyline/narrative.
Just look at the lies about the relationship between Lando and Carlos...

Hulk and Magnussen on the grid in Bahrain.
Who would've believed this 3 weeks ago?

EXACTLY this. And that's the problem for a lot of the new fans who are watching cuz of DTS. Netflix like to paint their own narratives on these 'characters' of the show. I've had someone tell me they didn't like so-and-so cuz of how he was on the show... which is entirely unfair. Another problem which arises is that ppl become more fanatic about these characters rather than the actual sporting side... the actual racing.

Very strange to see Lewis with the neon yellow helmet

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Great opening practice session for Ferrari

 

[kobeoverbron]

Yo that Gasly - Tsunoda gap is interesting.

Merc bouncing around like it's a merry go round.

Ready for FP2 let's go!

 

[jewelknows]

We back! Can't wait for Qualifying.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Charles looking strong

 

[Sinner]

Welp.

 

[kanyeezy411]

New timing graphics look awful.

 

[chippedtoothsmile]

McLaren: “we talkin about practice…”

 

[Sinner]

New timing graphics look awful.

Really? I like them.

Really? I like them.

Find it harder to read. I would prefer a bolder font. Plus the lack of the team colors makes it more difficult for me to identify a driver.

And why is the sector timing/coloring just a tiny line?

 

[kanyeezy411]

Fight for pole between RB and Ferrari should be interesting. But with the race pace Max is the clear favorite for Sunday.

Lots of teams have work to do in the next weeks
