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?
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?
Renault Reveal What They Will Miss About Ricciardo
Daniel Ricciardo will depart Renault at the end of this season for McLaren. While this move was initially received somewhat negatively by Renault, signs suggest that they have now accepted the decision. Renault’s Executive Director Marcin Budkowski has now revealed the things about Ricciardo that they will miss. Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgxrASFfn6Sv-AxWON54AaABCQ 0:00 - What Renault Will Miss About Ricciardo 1:08 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: What Renault Will Miss About Ricciardo Budkowski started off by explaining how their car has become better this year “I think the car is clearly a better car than we had last year.

We’ve made good upgrades and that’s obviously pushed us forward in the pecking order” He then praised Ricciardo and confirmed that they will miss him “He’s at the top of his form. He’s driving exceptionally well and that shows in the team results but also in his personal results, so of course we will miss him” He signed off by revealing another side of Ricciardo’s that they will also miss “But we will also miss the character. He’s a smiley, engaging character [and it’s] a pleasure to work with him. Daniel walks in the room and suddenly the mood in the room picks up because his smile and his enthusiasm is infectious” Fast Feed Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff prefers ”someone who polarizes but brings out a message rather than someone who is a bit too polished“ Lewis Hamilton has revealed that “the way” his former team McLaren “dealt with the tyres and the temperature, that sort of thing. They never listened to” him, “they just did their thing” Mercedes’ former technical director Norbert Haug feels that “it is partly” his “fault” that DRS was introduced in F1 as he “could not stop it” Williams’ George Russell has stated that Lewis Hamilton “doesn’t just wake up on a Sunday morning and jump in and he’s the fastest” Instead, “he puts a huge amount of effort in, which” Russell doesn’t “think he really gets the credit for” McLaren’s Lando Norris feels that the race in Turkey featured “possibly the worst start of” his “career ever. Probably the worst start of everyone's career ever” Former F1 driver Felipe Massa is of the opinion that in F1 “the car is the most important thing, without a competitive car you cannot win, and that is independent of the drivers” He also feels that Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel’s “moment is over because he is not achieving the performance expected of a four-time world champion” Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is “always looking forward to the night races because they feel so different” His teammate Alex Albon feels that “Turkey was a strong weekend and” he’s sure they “are moving in the right direction” He further stated that for his “part, it's getting better and better and” he “was very happy with the car in the simulator. So now” he’s “looking forward to arriving in Bahrain” Meanwhile, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has stated that Albon “was very nervous because the tires were wearing off” in Turkey F2 driver Yuki Tsunoda has suggested that “if you are a good driver, like George Russell, Lando Norris or Charles Leclerc then you only need one year in F2” Daniel Ricciardo feels that “for sure now” they're “the underdog” in the fight for third place in the constructors’ standings, “but it's still doable, and there's still three races” AlphaTauri’s Daniil Kvyat has confirmed that they “have solved the problem” related to the loose seatbelts he experienced during the Turkish GP Who will finish 3rd in the constructors championship?

The cards are laid. I had my two [race] chances and used them as good as I could” He added that he is still in contact with the people that matter “I'm not actively involved now anyway, but of course I'm in contact with the people that matter. But not every week now, not every day. I let it come to me. I am quite relaxed. It's not in my hands” He further stated the need for patience “That's why I am on standby, so to speak. And of course, I hope that there will be a comeback and a chance, which I would be very motivated and keen to do. But we just need a little patience until the final decision is made” He summed up his words by saying that it will be some time before any sort of clarity is reached “It is very, very quiet at the moment. The reports have calmed down a bit, and I think it will be a while before there is really any final clarity” Fast Feed Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton feels that “unfortunately, people don't get to see all” the “work in the background” He also revealed that he sometimes goes “to the wind tunnel and” asks “the chief of aerodynamics to show” him “the car” He also asks him to share “what the problems and obstacles are” as he finds “that work fascinating” Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al Faisal of Saudi Arabia doesn’t “blame those people” who criticize his country “because they have never been to Saudi Arabia” He added that they “are opening up” their “country so that more people can see” their “beautiful country and hopefully that will change their minds” He further stated that they “want a street circuit with a fantastic view, but also the possibility to overtake” Angelo Sticchi Damiani, the President of the Automobile Club of Italy has confirmed that they “would like to organise two Formula 1 races in Italy in 2021” He further elaborated that “in addition to the Grand Prix on the Monza circuit, which has already been confirmed”, they “are also trying to get Imola on the calendar” Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel finds it “shocking really that” they “still need to keep this sort of message” regarding equality “out because it should be completely normal” He further explained that “there's been so much history of mankind and so many mistakes that mankind has done and yet we struggle to learn from our mistakes” McLaren’s Lando Norris feels that “in sport, because no one wants to give the opposition an edge or show any weakness”, they “don’t talk about mental health as much as” they “should” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner thinks that “the team has grown so much but at the end of the day” they “are still the same: a racing team” Would you like to see 2 race in Italy next season?

Jos Verstappen Confirms Max's Future Teammate Options
Red Bull at one point were in a position to win the race at Imola after their driver Max Verstappen overtook Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas. However, Mercedes’ other driver Lewis Hamilton was able to stay out much longer and take advantage of a virtual safety car and Red Bull could not cover for that with their second driver. Max’s father and former F1 driver Jos Verstappen has now stressed on a need for a strong second driver at Red Bull to Ziggo Sport Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugz-jWZoH5eXrMkov0F4AaABCQ 0:00 - Verstappen Alone In Fight Against Lewis 1:03 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Verstappen Alone In Fight Against Lewis Jos started off by reiterating why Max needs a strong teammate “At the moment I don't think it is going well enough. Max needs a strong second team mate, then the race [at Imola] would have been different as well” “If it was the start of the race and the teammate was behind Hamilton, that teammate could have come in earlier and Hamilton should have come in as well. The cards would have been shuffled very differently” He signed off by looking at the possible options Red Bull have in this regard “So, it's very important to have a very good teammate next to Max. We all know: it's either Albon, or Perez, or Hulkenberg. It will have to be one of those three” Fast Feed AlphaTauri team principal Franz Tost has explained if F2 driver Yuki Tsunoda “finishes in the top four” in F2 “he gets his super license. If he finishes fifth, he'll need two training sessions in Formula 1 to get to the last point” The president of the Emilia-Romagna region, Stefano Bonaccini thinks that Imola is ready for “a stable inclusion in the calendar of the World Championship” Jos Verstappen has suggested that the Honda engine for next year is “already better than what” Red Bull are “driving now” F1’s managing director Ross Brawn feels that Renault’s “Daniel Ricciardo is a brilliant driver, and one of the very best in Formula 1” He further thinks that “he’s doing a fantastic job right now and Renault will be sad to lose him, even if Fernando Alonso is the man who’ll be stepping in” He also hopes “McLaren can give Daniel a car he deserves next season. He’s a great member of the F1 fraternity” Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher feels that Red Bull’s Alex Albon “is the biggest problem within the team” Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has confirmed that despite Verstappen being “an exceptional talent” they “need to get a driver who can come close to him, to at least two or three tenths of a second” Racing Point team principal Otmar Szafnauer feels that both Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez “have the mental strength to drive alongside Verstappen” McLaren’s Lando Norris has suggested that “not being able to overtake always put” them “in a compromising position to cars behind who could do different strategies” at Imola Alfa Romeo’s Antonio Giovinazzi thinks that “points with two cars is something great for Alfa Romeo… and also a good thing to celebrate the renewal of the contract” Alpha Tauri’s Pierre Gasly is of the opinion that “there was clearly a top five to fight for” at Imola and that “it feels quite hard. But that’s motorsport unfortunately” Haas’ Kevin Magnussen revealed that “from the race start”, he “was having slow upshifts, and not only are they slow, it’s also like a big bang every time you upshift” He added that it seemed “okay for a couple of laps but then it starts shaking your head crazily. And by the end” he “just got a massive headache” leading to his retirement Do Hulkenberg and Perez the mental strength to be Verstappen’s teammate?
