    The best race I've watched so far. Russell didn't win but my god did he prove what he needed to prove. Checo going from last to first whilst still not having a seat for the next year with that pass on Albon which felt like foreshadowing. Ocon and Stroll podiums and Aitken and Fittipaldi debut made it just that bit more exiting.

    In a way Aitken secured himself not being on the grid in 2021… His crash initiating the flurry of events that lead to the Mercedes pit stop nightmare, ultimately taking Russell’s shot at the win away, who knows if that would have been enough for Toto to pull the trigger early and give him the seat for 2021? That in turn would have meant Aitken would be in the running for Russell’s now vacant seat.

    Kvyat is now a Lamborghini factory driver and helping out with that new but strikingly beautifull SC63. Aitken meanwhile is good chums with Emil Frey racing and Action Express racing, and is doing very well!

    As a Russell fan since his F2 debut, this race was heartbreaking for me but it is still my favourite GP so far.
    At the time, Russell didn't even score a SINGLE point but he was still considered to be a rising star. I would watch his on-board every GP with Williams and it was fascinating to see his skills in defence, car control, consistancy and precision over racing lines. When Hamilton had covid, everybody thought Vandoorne would drive, instead George raced with undersized shoes, but also look at his position in the car seat! The dude's so tall that his helmet was almost above the halo.
    The quali was so close, he almost got pole, I think that was the ONLY time he got beaten by a teammate overall at the time, by +0.053 or something.
    Despite all of this, he had a great start, took the lead and never looked back. You could hear him in the team radio broadcast asking for advice on the setup and steering wheel ALL THE TIME, and yet he had an amazing pace.
    But after that bad pitstop, he cleared Bottas with one of the most beautiful overtake of the season imo. It was CRAZY to think he had that much confidence in the car to overtake him here, on such a weird sector. He was about to claim the lead again, he was pushing. But that second pitstop was devastating. But, he fought hard once last time and cleared the cars in a small amount of laps and time (what Bottas struggled to do all season long) to finally score his first F1 points.
    Yet, even if my favourite driver took a beating on repeat, this race is the only one I rewatch occasionally. That night, I shed a tear on Perez' long awaited win after years of good performances in that team, himself getting robbed of a podium on the previous GP. I was happy to see Ocon score his first podium as a French myself. But Russell proved absolutely everything he had to, on the track.
    Thanks for this comedy review!

    @gaborcsizmazia2210 7 місяців тому +39

    The fake pitstop theory says, that it wasnt to make Bottas look good, but rather to make Hamilton look good.
    Russel jumped in a car he had never driven before ,wearing shoes that were too small, and still managed to emulate a Hamilton like performance.
    This would obviously have put Hamiltons reputation in the mud, as a driver who was yet to score a point after two years, simply replicated what "The GOAT" did every race.
    Merc already had both titles wrapped up, so taking Russel out, wouldnt have cost them anything.
    This could also be the reason why Hamilton was ssoooooooooooo desparate, to comeback in Abu-Dhabi, despite clearly not having recovered, and struggeled his way to 3rd, getting beaten by both Max and Porridge Man, showing that his return was indeed rushed.
    I mean, after Sakhir, where Osama Bin Russel easily did what he can, surely he wouldnt have wanted Russel to show what he can actually do and return half ill just to block Russel from doing it.
    This is a rundown of the conspiracy theory.

      Schumacher had the right idea, never let your teammate beat you by getting shit teammates haha. That's always the theory about why he left as soon as Raikonnen was coming to Ferrari. And amusingly enough why noone rates Kimi much as an elite driver, after being absolutely flogged by Vettel and Alonso

    "To make Bottas look good"? My sweet summer child, can you imagine the press and social media discourse if Russell had won? I'm very much of the tin-foil persuasion when it comes to this. Hamilton had the team built around him at the time and wanted it to stay that way, particularly with keeping Bottas as his "best ever" teammate. He didn't want Russell to win. Lewis may have been ill, but he hadn't lost the ability to make phone calls.

    It wasn't to make Bottas look good, it was so Russell didn't expose the fact that Hamilton isn't that good of a driver and that it was all the cars doing. . . So yea they were never going to let Russel win

      Because Russell stepping into that car and immediately winning massively discredits everything Lewis "achieved" since Rosberg retired.
      They tried to sabotage him the first time with the tyres, and it wasn't enough. So they made up a puncture as well.

    I think it was engineered for him not to win. Think about it - it would have been a terrible reflection on the sport, confirming what we already know, that any of the grid could win a race as long as they were driving the best car. The sport has entered peak boring - the fact is, the man who will become 4x champion this year wouldn't be able to do it in an Aston Martin. Alonso would win the world championship this year in a Red Bull. It's absolutely ludicrous.

    This is a non-story there is no tragedy involved @MercedesAMGF1 was not going to let George Russell show up Louis Hamilton in his own car. These mistakes were intentional to ensure he didn't win the race because if Louis was in the car, these things wouldn't have happened.
    In my mind, it became clear after that when a rookie could step into the car that it was a lot more of the car than the driver
