I have to say, the Hulk was a revelation at the weekend. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a decent car, a good grid position and slid down the placings. We have seen that before from him over his 170-some F1 starts. My perception is 'same old, same old'. Much rather see someone new get the chance of a drive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Formula E ended on Quest in time to switch over to C4 for the F1 highlights, well the actual racing, I'm not too fussed about all the before and after waffle. That's getting almost as bad as football. I was quite surprised how much Formula E has come on since I last watched any. Give them a couple more years development and put it on proper race tracks and F1 will have problems.

I was a little suspicious of his late pit stop. His tyres were holding up and with so few laps to go he was never going to regain his position or even catch Albon first despite having new 'softs'. The cynic in me says RP did it to stop him finishing ahead of Stroll Jnr...... 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Radford Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Anybody else notice that Red Bull 33 won two GPs on Sunday? Brad Binder won his maiden MotoGP at Brno riding the Red Bull KTM number 33! I've watched most of the Formula E races and agree with Dunsignalling that they need to be on proper race tracks to have wider appeal. It's like watching a Monaco GP every race - although they even shortened Monaco when they raced there! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched most of the Formula E races and agree with Dunsignalling that they need to be on proper race tracks to have wider appeal. It's like watching a Monaco GP every race - although they even shortened Monaco when they raced there! I think "shortening" Monaco had more to do with the fact the other half of the circuit wasn't available at the time (probably the barriers on that half hadn't gone up yet), but it did have the result of removing most of the iconic parts of the circuit - Casino Square, the Hairpin and the tunnel (although of course the iconic view of cars leaving the tunnel has been lost anyway since the yacht club was built). I appreciate what they've tried to do with the street circuits in FE - hold the events where they are accessible by public transport, and in iconic locations (although the high barriers and fences hide most of that anyway - the fences appear to be higher at FE than they are at Monaco or Baku. From a spectator point of view, it's obviously better the more of the circuit you can see from any one vantage point, which is tricky with street circuits (although from the far side of the harbour at Monaco I think you can at least see both sides of the circuit. One of the things that put me off attending the (cancelled) London ePrix this year was that the Excel centre blocked out most of the views. (The other thing that's put me off going to FE is the lack of support races, so there's quite a long gap between quali and the race while the batteries are being recharged). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
