Bottas Considers Scenario If Russell Beats Him
A run of misfortune and Lewis Hamilton’s sublime form this season has meant that his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas sits 131 points behind him. Many feel that Bottas will face another stern test in the form of George Russell standing in for the recuperating Lewis Hamilton. Bottas has now explained how he would react if Russell were to best him at the Sakhir GP Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzOOOm0yiuohFgfi3V4AaABCQ 0:00 - Bottas Agrees It Won’t Look Good If Russell Beat Him on Mercedes Debut 1:45 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Bottas Agrees It Won’t Look Good If Russell Beat Him on Mercedes Debut Bottas began by explaining how it won’t look good if he were to be beaten fair and square by Russell on his first outing with Mercedes “I don't really know what to say to that question. I haven't thought [about] it in that sense and if I have to give some kind of answer I say if he beats me, yeah for sure it wouldn't look so good on me if I have a normal race and if he beats me fair and square. So obviously I [will] try to avoid that” He then added that it won’t weigh on him too much as that is not how he approaches a race weekend “But I am not a person who thinks on that side of things. I try to turn things into a motivation and through positive thinking. That's my mindset for this weekend” He then explained how it is the press that tries to create drama while also explaining how it will be a good learning experience for Russell “I know that [the media] like to speculate things and create drama and 'showdowns' etc. But I doubt George thinks that way and at least I don't. I think it's a great opportunity for George, a great opportunity to learn a lot and to show what we can do with the team” "And from my side, as a racing driver of course you always want to be ahead of your teammate – whether it's Lewis Hamilton or George Russell or anyone else, it doesn't matter” He signed off by revealing his true motivation for the remaining three races “And I also have a job to do for the last three races of the season – I have my own motivation, which is trying to win the remaining races” Fast Feed Former F1 driver Nick Heidfeld feels that “it is all the more important” for Haas’ recovering driver Romain Grosjean “to get back into the car as quickly as possible” F2 driver Louis Deletraz has praised Williams and Mercedes for choosing drivers “based on pure talent” and added that “it’s nice to see a team with respect to its drivers” in an apparent dig at Haas choosing Nikita Mazepin Haas team principal Guenther Steiner “saw that Deletraz was not happy. But there are undoubtedly a lot of other drivers who wanted the seat. He's just one of many” Nikita Mazepin could theoretically still end up with not enough super license points to drive in F1 but Steiner firmly believes “he will just make the points necessary for his super-license” He also added that it was “'Ferrari” that “decided that Mick [Schumacher] would be the one to be promoted from the juniors and of course that was fine for” Steiner Mick, meanwhile, stated that “four and seven are two of the numbers that he really likes” and since “both of them were taken”, he thinks “47 was the best choice” He further elaborated that 4 was the number with which he won his F3 championship and 7 because of his father’s seven world championships Stephane Cohen, CEO of Bell helmets has stated that Grosjean’s “helmet performed exactly what is expected in such conditions. The fire resistance was as expected and the visor was also perfect. The only thing that had melted were the tear-offs” Max Verstappen has suggested that the Netflix documentary series Drive to Survive contains “a lot of 'faked'” footage as some things he “said in Australia or Austria” were “used for another Grand Prix to make it a bit more exciting” Honda F1 boss Toyoharu Tanabe is of the opinion “with a short lap and the many straights, it will be vital for teams to select the right moment to send the cars out on track especially during qualifying” Last week’s double podium for Red Bull was their first one since Malaysia 2017 and their driver Max Verstappen “was pretty surprised how long it’s been” His teammate Alex Albon has said that “looking back at tracks like Turkey and Mugello, these 'different' kind of tracks tend to make for great races so hopefully that's the case this weekend” Do you like the Netflix series ‘Drive to Survive’?
Verstappen's Brutally Honest Opinion About Albon's Race
The final piece of the driver market puzzle rests with Red Bull. Their driver Alex Albon has been having a lacklustre year where he has often been outpaced by drivers from the midfield teams during qualifying which has also meant that he has finished behind Max Verstappen in every single race that Verstappen has completed. Bahrain seemed to be heading in a similar direction afters he crashed heavily during FP2 but he had one of his more impressive weekends yet after he qualified right behind his teammate and finished on the podium thanks to a late retirement for Racing Point’s Sergio who is in contention for Albon’s seat at Red Bull. Team principal Christian Horner and teammate Max Verstappen have now spoken on whether this has helped Albon Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgywtUS-1pU1b_VwaF94AaABCQ 0:00 - Horner and Verstappen Unexpected Reactions To Alex Albon’ Podium 1:58 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Horner and Verstappen Unexpected Reactions To Alex Albon’ Podium After the race, Horner summarized the race that saw Perez retire with a turbo issue while in third place and with just three laps to go allowing Albon to get on the podium “Sergio's bad luck was Alex's luck. He had a good start and it's not often that you see a Mercedes engine do something like that. It's unlucky for him, but nice for Alex” Horner then reiterated that they want to give Alex a chance and that no decision will be made just yet “You have to remember that Sergio Perez drove for me in Formula 2. He is a very strong driver. But I've always said that our priority is to give Alex a real chance. No decision will be made until after the final race. We're giving him every chance. We want him to succeed” He then confirmed that they are still considering Perez for 2021 “Days like today help him [Albon] but there's still two races. Sergio is doing the best job he can so he remains under consideration. Today was Alex's good fortune, he had a good day today and there's still two further races to go” Meanwhile, Max Verstappen was asked what he thought about Albon’s podium and he did not hold back with his reply to Ziggo Sports “I don't think that if you drive 30 or 40 seconds behind your teammate, that's very good. I can just be honest about that, right? It was a shame for Checo [Perez] too, because I think he drove a very strong race. It's nice for Alex that he is on the podium” Fast Feed Former F1 driver turned Dutch analyst Robert Doornbos feels that Max Verstappen “doesn't decide in the end either” who his teammate will be “although he certainly has a vote on that seat” Honda F1 boss Toyoharu Tanabe pointed out that they “have not seen a crash like that for many years, but it proved how safe the current Formula 1 cars are” He added that “it was a solid performance from Red Bull and it was great to see both drivers on the podium” He further feels that “it was a positive start to this final triple-header with the added bonus of Max taking the race’s fastest lap” Christian Horner feels that “five years ago, a driver would not have survived that incident” He added that sometimes they “give the FIA a hard time. The halo came under criticism, hats off to them because Romain Grosjean owes his life to those measures” He further elaborated that it was “not just the car, but the circuit” and “the way the marshals dealt with it” that was impressive Max Verstappen added that he “wasn't in favor of that Halo at first because it didn't look good, but today it has saved someone's life” He also feels that his team wasn’t “sharp with the strategy” in Bahrain Max elaborated by saying that they “let Mercedes go in first, which” he doesn't “understand. Then comes another slow pit stop and then another pit stop that” he didn't “quite understand” either Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel feels that “the guardrail should not fail and the car shouldn’t catch fire in that fashion” F1’s managing director Ross Brawn agreed that there were “a number of things that shouldn’t have happened. The fire was worrying and the split in the barrier was worrying” Racing Point’s Sergio Perez has confirmed that losing a podium with just three laps to go due to an engine failure “is hard to digest, for” him and for his “team” He, however, feels that “it’s just a trophy. What is important is that Grosjean is good, he’s fine and he can be back with his family” Did this podium save Albon’s F1 career?
McLaren Unboxed | Not All Heroes Wear Capes | #BahrainGP
The Bahrain Grand Prix proved to be a marathon rather than a sprint, but that didn’t stop it from being one of our best weekends of the season. Admittedly, after qualifying, such an outcome seemed unlikely, but everything clicked on Sunday with Lando and Carlos coming home fourth and fifth respectively under the lights in Sakhir. However, it all pales in comparison to the severity of the crash suffered by Romain Grosjean. We left this weekend feeling immensely thankful to the FIA and Formula 1 for constantly striving to make our sport as safe as possible, and to the Bahrain International Circuit safety team for their quick reactions to Romain's accident.

ChronoGP - S02:43 - L’incidente di Grosjean in 3D | La Sicurezza in F1 | Ferrari in Bahrain
Would you like to watch our videos with subtitles in your preferred language? Take a look at this tutorial, it's very easy. https://youtu.be/GxBVpwZZg6A ------- ChronoGP analizza in modo esclusivo l’incidente della Haas di Romain Grosjean che impatta a 221 km/h contro i guard rail disposti su 3 file verticali. L’inerzia genera una energia tale da aprire le protezioni creando un varco nel quale passano scocca e pilota. La monoposto si spezza in 2 tronconi con motore e trasmissione che rimangono all’interno delle barriere. ChronoGP fa il punto sulla sicurezza nella Formula 1 spiegando l’utilizzo dei crash test, dell’hans e dell’halo. La FIA negli anni ha lavorato incessantemente sulla sicurezza a protezione del pilota fissando limiti sempre più severi nei crash test di omologazione delle monoscocche. La Ferrari affronta in Bahrain e Abu Dhabi le peggiori piste che ne esaltano i difetti. Lunghi rettilinei, curve da trazione e asfalto a bassa aderenza sono la prova del 9 che per risolvere i problemi di potenza, trazione e grip tutto è rimandato al 2021. Se ci si aspetta prestazioni inferiori dalle monoposto 2021, limitate nell’aerodinamica, si rischia di rimanere sorpresi in positivo, perché le velocità in curva non subiranno riduzioni. Mercedes, già in fase di progettazione, ha recuperato il gap causato dal nuovo fondo tagliato nella parte laterale e dall’eliminazione dei pacchetti flap all’interno delle ruote posteriori. Le future monoposto ad effetto suolo già in fase di progettazione diventano sempre più veloci. Gli ingegneri cercano nuove soluzioni e sistemi per aggirare i vincoli aerodinamici e garantire, già al debutto nel 2022, prestazioni in curva elevatissime. La F1 del futuro, quella dell’effetto suolo e pneumatici ribassati, si annuncia migliore per spettacolo e sorpassi e con prestazioni velocissime che porterà ad un progressivo cambio nella tecnica di guida e ad una nuova generazione di piloti.

Emotional Ricciardo Rips Into F1 For “Poorly Handled” Crash Replays
Haas driver Romain Grosjean’s crash on the opening lap of the Bahrain GP has been the focal point of many discussions in the F1 world. Drivers and team personnel have all been grateful that Grosjean managed to come out of it all with just a few burns and minor injuries. Renault’s Daniel Ricciardo, however, wasn’t too pleased with how the television side of things were handled and he has now elaborated on this while speaking to F1 TV Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzjuGHwYAwD6VDlAuB4AaABCQ 0:00 - Emotional Ricciardo Rips Into F1 For “Poorly Handled” Grosjean Crash 1:17 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Emotional Ricciardo Rips Into F1 For “Poorly Handled” Grosjean Crash Ricciardo started off by explaining why he is disappointed with F1 “I’m disgusted and disappointed with Formula 1 for showing or choosing the way to show it as they did, and broadcast replays after replays after replays of the fire, and his car split in half. And then, like that’s not enough, they go to his onboard” “Why do we need to see this? We’re competing again in an hour. His family has to keep watching that. All our families have to keep watching that. And you’re f*****g with everyone’s emotions. It’s really unfair. It’s not entertainment” He signed off by suggesting that the footage of the crash was shown far too soon “It was very very poorly handled and it felt like a game. We’re lucky he’s here but it could have been a different story and to show it like it’s something from Hollywood, it’s not cool. Choose to do that tomorrow, but not today” Fast Feed Williams’ George Russell has stated that “if the halo hadn't been there, things would have turned out completely different. The way” Grosjean “walked away from the wreckage was unbelievable” Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc added that when he “saw the accident”, he “couldn't believe” Romain “ran out of the car” FIA race director Michael Masi stated that “credit where credit is due to Ian Roberts and Alan van der Merwe” the drivers of the medical car He added that “as the FIA”, they “will look at it all and undertake a full investigation of the whole incident and of what” they “can learn be it car safety, driver equipment and circuit safety” He further stated that “the survival cell did what it was supposed to do and kept the driver safe. The halo also did its job” Haas team principal Guenther Steiner feels that knowing Grosjean he would “absolutely” want “to come back” for the second race in Bahrain Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff doesn’t “even want to imagine how this accident would have ended a few years ago. But even at a time when safety is high, it is still a very dangerous sport” Romain Grosjean, meanwhile, stated that he “wasn't for the halo a few years ago, but” he now thinks “it's the greatest thing in F1” 2020 world champion Lewis Hamilton suggested that the drivers are “not the safety regulators” and that they’re “here to do a job” when asked if they had doubts about taking part in the race after Grosjean’s crash Red Bull’s Max Verstappen added to that by saying that he doesn’t “get why” a driver “wouldn’t race. If” he “would be the team boss”, he “would kick” such a driver “out of the seat” He also feels that his “car seems to work very well here. So maybe” they “can find some pace with the extra corners on the other track” Red Bull’s Alex Albon felt like he “was getting better and better in the last few races” and his podium in Bahrain “is another step forward” Former F1 driver turned commentator Martin Brundle thinks “that if Red Bull do change Albon, it's most likely going to be Sergio Perez” Did F1 appropriately handle the replays of the Grosjean crash?
