2021 Formula-1 GP

The 2021 & the 1st Saudi Arabian F-1 GP has just ended with the following finishing order:

Hamilton, Max, Bottas.

There is one more Race & the final one to finish the 2021 season but the point leaders are TIED.  The next & final race of 2021will be full of drama, guaranteed!

Back to the Race. I think the Stewards ruined the Race:

1.  Before, I get to that, let me comment on the circuit.  It is NOT an easy track to race, it is more difficult than Monaco which is slower.  The Saudi Arabian street circuit is much faster (long straights) with very sharp corners which demand a lot, mentally & physically, from the drivers.  In addition, whenever there is any incident on the track requiring clean up, the race has to stop for cleanups.

2.  Again, Max proved to be a dirty driver & the Chief Steward made it worse by not communicating properly to the teams.
Max did almost the same maneuver to black off Hamilton when he was about to be lapped.  Steward asked Max to give up his lead to Hamilton, however:
a.  This information was only transmitted to Red Bull, but not MB.  What a fuck up!
b.  Max did a half-hearted move to let Hamilton pass BUT he stayed in the middle of the track without moving to one side of the track to give more room for Hamilton to pass.  The cars touched, & Hamilton was lucky that his damage front wing/spoiler did not fall off, otherwise he won't be able to carry on/finish.  Finally, Max allowed Hamilton to pass.
I will put the blame squarely on the Chief Steward!

I will look out for the race videos & upload them for you all to view.

The following video will clearly show that after being asked to yield the lead to Hamilton, Max drove in the middle of the track, then brake hard forcing Hamilton to run into him, causing damage to Hamilton's front wings:

Max was crazy. I hope he won't win the world champion this year.

Hear what the professional race commentators said about the race & compare with mine, almost identical!

"Dragondick, you are good!" (Need to pat myself on the back!   )

My problem with Hamilton is that he whines so much. He's been whining this whole season about how Red Bull have had the "fastest car" meanwhile Mercedes have topped the boards at almost half of the races. It's pathetic, he cries because it's the first time that a rival team has challenged him in years

2021's Final Race of the year -- The Abu Dhabi's F-1 GP, will be held this coming SUN.

This will be the most exciting F-1 race in years because at no time was the year's championship tied before going into the final race, it was also the Race of "good Vs bad".

Representing the Good is Hamilton; representing the Bad is Max.

Hamilton drives for MB which had a faster, more balanced car for many years until 2021 when Red Bull snatched MB's technical team during last year's off season; Hamilton is a more gentlemanly driver from the days when he was a teen karter, gradually developed into the best F-1 driver.

Max is a equally talented driver, unfortunately always more aggressive than required & has a "take no prisoner" approach in overtaking or defending his position.

I hope there is live TV coverage of this final race.

Oh yes, I hope that the Drivers' Championship is decided by racing & not by crashing into each other by the title contenders.

If there is an unfortunate crash taking Hamilton & Max out of the Race, Max will win 2021' s Championship because he has one more first place finisher than Hamilton.

You can bet Max knows this & MIGHT even use it to his advantage, but the whole world is watching, including of course, the Race Stewards, who in my opinion, are not doing their job properly.

The Constructors' Championship has already been decided as MB is so far ahead of every other team that even if BOTH MBs cars crash or DNF in the final race, MB will win.

Race fans around the world look forward to a fair competition among the two finalists, let us hope that the Race result is decided by racing skills and team strategy & not by a crash which cannot guarantee the safety of both drivers involved.
