With 264 races to date, the Briton can still achieve two round numbers at the end of the Corona season: pole 100 from the first on June 9, 2007 in Montreal, and for the 50th time in a row in championship points! !
Hamilton almost freaked out
The third session saw all the drivers with the red soft rubber on the road. After Pirelli’s forced testing on Friday with two sets of 2021 tires each, there was a scandal.
Virtually all the pilots were horrified. And Hamilton said: “I have to be very careful with my opinion now. At the end of 2019, as usual every year, they brought in new tires that were worse. That’s why we kept the old tires in 2020. So they had two years to develop better tires. And they arrive with three kilos heavier tires and a slower second round! That’s worrisome. “Like the change in shape of the front tires.
Pirelli is fighting back
Hamilton continues: “We work with brands and partners who are fighting at the forefront of technology to advance. But after two years, Pirelli is taking a step back! “
Anguish Of course, the criticism was not well received by the tire soloist Italo from Milan (since 2011). Boss Mario Isola, recently recovered from a corona infection: “You just have to adjust the car and the set-up to new tires. We did our job. We have developed a rubber that is more resistant mechanically. Our job was not to design the tires to make the cars even faster! Otherwise, we will reach a point where we can no longer guarantee security. We will not drive on old tires again! “
Mateschitz decides
After the horrific accident of Alex Albon (24) on Friday and the long night shift at Red Bull, the Thai is now even more criticized. And the cops would have long been changed if the Red Bull empire wasn’t owned by 51 percent of the Yoovidhya family in Bangkok.
Didi Mateschitz (76) of Styria, the richest Austrian, has 49 percent. He is responsible for the entire sports apparatus and now has many options with his advisor Helmut Marko: thumbs up or thumbs down. Pérez and Hülkenberg are shot at his feet.
Best time for Max – 4th Albon
In the final practice session, World Championship third Max Verstappen (23) set the fastest time in a Red Bull Honda ahead of the duo of Mercedes Hamilton and Bottas. His Bull partner, Albon, was 0.663 seconds behind. After all, fourth. The team really can’t wait any longer.
However, Marko believes that the second man next to Max should not lose more than 0.3 seconds. The director of bull sports has to look for a long time …
Alpha-Sauber lucky bag
Predictions for the Hinwil team are tough even before the 501st Formula race since 1993. Two weeks ago, Alfa-Sauber led both cars to the top ten, only to crash in the race.
Now Giovinazzi and Räikkönen are 14th and 19th in the standings. What will come out of the surprise bag this time? Ferrari also disappointed: 13th Vettel, 15th Leclerc. So you can hardly rise from catastrophic sixth place in the World Championship!
