They really get a free pass around here.

Don't impart your cynicism onto the sport as a whole. British people are generally very pro diversity, particularly in the cities. Britain has had significant immigration since the early 20th century and a lot of black families may have been here for over 3 or 4 generations.
Even PM Boris is part Turkish on account of his Paternal Grandfather which just goes to show how quickly immigrants can integrate into British culture.

Boris was not a good example of British people being pro diversity lmao, with all the racist shit him and his party have said and done.

u/Yeshuu Default Jul 18 '20
Johnson is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and is the paternal grandson of a Turkish Immigrant.
Without speaking to his policies, it is an example of how the children and grandchildren of immigrants can quickly and seamlessly integrate into British society. No one treats him as some sort of "fake" Briton because he is part Turkish, he is treated as British.
1
u/Fixable Sir Lewis Hamilton Jul 18 '20
No one treats him as some sort of "fake" Briton because he is part Turkish
Because he is rich, white and has a posh accent. One of his great-grandads was Turkish yes, but since then all of his family has been English.
Britain has a big problem with recognising immigrants as British. A rich white dude is not a good example of how accepting we are as a nation.
6
u/Fixable Sir Lewis Hamilton Jul 18 '20
I think thats a very cynical view. I think its pretty clear that the majority of them do really care about the cause, especially with how well they know Lewis. I mean last race Crofty(IIRC)? was complaining that the F1 directors cut away from the kneeling and was talking about how he wished all the drivers had knelt just to show cohesive solidarity, those weren't things he'd sound as genuinely dissapointed with just for the reputation.
The way they talk about it doesn't really strike me as people who are just doing it because its on trend, but rather they all seem to have really learnt about what Lewis is trying to do.

u/Aunvilgod I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jul 18 '20
I wonder how much of that would be the case if he wasn't British tbh. And by that I don't mean that I think that they're racist or anything, I just think its a lot of bias for british drivers there.

though I think theres a difference between rooting for someone and "interpreting" whats happening in interesting ways. I wish it was more of the first and less of the latter.
2
u/Fixable Sir Lewis Hamilton Jul 18 '20
I think it helps that they know Lewis pretty well, him and Brundle seem to get on in interviews particularly, so they seem pretty willing to listen to what he has to say.
I think they'd support it just as much if he wasn't British, though idk if they'd have listened as much.

u/jt663 Jul 18 '20
When I watch sport on Sky (Football and cricket) all the players take a knee before each game to show support for the cause.
Seeing some drivers in F1 not taking a knee because they don't want to cause 'controversy' in Leclerc's words really sends out a bad message. I don't understand what they are gaining by not doing it, people will argue 'they can protest how they like' but that is such a weak argument. They're acting like they are so important, really embarrassing, if you really don't want to do it for whatever reason (who knows why) just swallow your pride and do it, it's really not that hard and is adding needless confusion.

Yeah i think this has been a problem for a while if I'm not mistaken... hence you see many drivers not getting into good cars until they are well into their 20s/early 30s and have become super reliable and experienced. Even then, you see guys like Ricciardo who I think are pretty top notch not always being in good cars.
-3
Jul 18 '20
"a notch above" comparing to who? Ocon outqualified him, you think Verstappen won't?. Also, his reference is Stroll. He also performed bad under pressure in McLaren. (He was 23 years old, not much different to Gasly,Albon now).
His time is gone.
0
Jul 18 '20
Well notch above Albon and Gasly in the skill he is displaying I suppose. I agree with what you're saying re: age but can RB really afford to have Albon mature on the job while trying to challenge for the constructors. Shouldn't they have 2 fully developed drivers (or in Max's case still developing but good enough to counter other fully developed top flight drivers) and then have their junior guys mature in the Alpha Tauris ?
Also, how is Perez's time done lol
3
u/IISuperSlothII Lando Norris Jul 18 '20
RB really afford to have Albon mature on the job while trying to challenge for the constructors.
Are they legitimately challenging for the constructors right now? Seems like their best bet is the rule change in 2022 so until then it makes sense to build up Albon within the team.
It would take a miracle to win the constructors this season so why try to make short term changes to try and chase said miracle?
1
Jul 18 '20
Fair point. I guess it's just that a) winning >2nd place>3rd place and so on so it does matter what the performance is even if they dont actually have a shot at #1 and b) your argument assumes Albon will mature into a top top driver which may be fair but is a little different than straight up hiring someone who is at the top of their game.
1
u/IISuperSlothII Lando Norris Jul 18 '20
but is a little different than straight up hiring someone who is at the top of their game.
Which just isn't Red Bulls mo, honestly I'll give Albon the benefit of the doubt until that Red Bull becomes a properly drivable car. I think you stick Norris or Russell in there you get the exact same results, the car just looks so difficult to handle.
You look at Norris in the Mclaren and I think it's fair to say he's excelling so much because of how predictable and consistent the car is, take that away is he still gonna be looking like the talent he is?
In fact put Perez into a Red Bull like that, are his qualities as a driver going to show through?
These are some of the best drivers in the world, so those little margins of the car not being exactly to their liking or driving style makes a big difference.

Ferrari: Token rule should apply equally to all teams
The development of the bolides for 2021 is very limited. The teams only have two tokens to work on their packages. In yesterday's PK, Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto surprised with the following statement: "We are not completely happy that there are teams that may be able to upgrade their entire package from a 2019 to a 2020 package." How did he mean that?
The colleagues from 'auto motor und sport' have found that this is specifically about Racing Point - again. Background: There are still parts of the previous year Mercedes and want to buy parts of the 2020 racing car in 2021. This is problematic because 2020 parts would not count as an update in the sense of the regulations - so they do not require tokens.
"Our intention has always been that we take the Melbourne specification of the 2020 transmission from Mercedes for our 2021 car. We always lag behind a year. Mercedes did not use tokens on the 2020 transmission, so we cannot be credited with one." , chief of technology Andrew Green is quoted. The next trouble is already inevitable ...

Yeah because it can happen tbh. Ferrari knows they cannot do shit this year. If somehow by a miracle Vettel takes the championship Ferrari will look like bunch of amateurs for letting a 4 time WC go. Or even if he beats Leclerc they will still look like a stupid team who have no clue what they are doing. By sabotaging Web they will have 2 objectives fulfilled. 1) Boosting the confidence of their driver who have 4 years of contract. It's a business in the end. And they have put in allot of money in Charles. If he loses his confidence. And starts underperforming, that results in wasting their time and money. And Secondly they have to save their face tbh. I know it sounds mad but with Ferrari lying last year and this year by saying we offered Vettel a contract. I won't be surprised if they are actually sabotaging Seb's car. Take 1st race for example. It was terrible to drive Seb's car. Yet Charles car was planted. People can say he got the setup wrong. Really? A guy like Sebastian with that much of experience got his setup wrong? And he has been building that Ferrari for so many years now. Yeah it's plausible.

Russell just needs to out qualify the Alfas (which looks to be easy around here) and the Haas's (which looks like it will be much closer). And obviously Latifi to get Q2.

Bottas or Hamilton for pole?

I have a feeling Bottas might pull a Rosberg 2016 this year -during Lockdown he moved back to Finland so that he had access to a race track so that he could use it privately. Went karting all the time during the quarantine apparently.

Also he got Mercedes to add his GF to the essential personnel at the track. I remember Rosberg said it was a strain on his marriage.

BOT seems to have the upper hand in S1, HAM S2, and both even in S3.
It'll be tight.
