F1 2021: New season discussion and chat

[Willie Trombone]

At least Max doesn't need a nanny at his side all the time like a certain 36 yr old "Sir".

Oh grief, spare the whining
And give Angela a break, she clearly loves her job and does it well. Pity there's nobody who'd do that Max.

Back the next serial winner and pray to God it is not Verstappen.

"Yes but he matured a lot!"

I hate to break it to you, but she just happens to be the most recognised, all the drivers have a trainer/physio/coach.

Meet Max Verstappen's inner circle

Natural speed and sublime race craft have taken Max Verstappen to the top in F1, but to become a genuine title contender requires a whole lot more...

That's not a nanny, that is a dude touching you

She's an (ex) Olympic athlete and fitter than you or I.

Off course they all do... but they are not permanently by their sides like a nanny.

How would you know?

What do the other 11 who are employed by Hintsa Performance look like?

How about the ones directly employed by teams?

Or do you expect them all to be pretty blondes?

 

[Naks]

these new kerbs at Abu Dhabi are something else!

Please tell me what you saw after the second red flag on sunday . Max was sitting on side against a wall all by himself. Marko later come to him and talked about the race and then left Lewis was on the opposite side in what looks like s little tunnel with his nanny confiding him while he whyped his head and face with a towel the whole time.Oupa Lewis het geweet vandag gaan hy sy salaries moet verdien.

 

[Craig_]

Was this before or after his boy crashed in sector 3?

Says the man who was too slow to be an F1 driver.

Yip Pirelli is pooping bricks right now. They apparently didn't even know the kerbs would be like this. It would be a shame if the championship was decided on a puncture right?

not really....

just stay off the kerbs. They are the same for all drivers, so if you get a puncture because you abused them..... well its on you

Yip. Last week it was walls, this week it is spikey curbs. Stay off of them if they're an issue

If I recall, Michael Schumacher started this with Balbir Singh, who worked as Michael's physio, dietician and ''spiritual guide'' (his own words). So yeah, nothing new for a modern driver to have a handler/chaperone/confident.

If you watched F1 in the late 90 - mid 2000s, you would've certainly seen Michael and Balbir together. He was one of the first people Michael would speak to after climbing out of his car/returning to the pits and one of the last people he'd speak to before climbing in to the car.
