What everyone really should be wanting is Bottas to miss the race with Lewis back. The dream team.
I want to see Russell and Hamilton racing each other in the Mercedes.
Thank you both
We all enjoy it, if everyone is like me, we get excited to see a new race thread up!
First I'd heard of this. What PCR test are they using?basti313 wrote: ↑08 Dec 2020, 15:18I do not think local law plays any role this weekend. As far as F1 is concerned, the agreement with the locals is that they stay inside their "bubble" and all usual rules are removed.
Also from the point of testing...the PCR test F1 uses is the most insensitive one can get. So there is a realistic chance that he tests negative few days after symptoms or positive test result as we have seen it with Perez and Stroll. With a sensitive test you can forget to test negative even two weeks after symptoms end.
The big question is rather how does he feel, does he still have symptoms?
I fear they keep super quiet on everything just for the reason, that his current symptom status would never result in a negative test if it is a good test...but they hope for a negative result in the insensitive F1 test.
So most probably no one can tell at the moment who will be in the faster Merc this weekend.
I have to admit I would be very interested in a Hamilton v Russell contestEl Scorchio wrote: ↑09 Dec 2020, 13:42I think that's just you. We're all well aware of your strong feelings about Hamilton, Bottas and the Mercedes team.
Would be great to see. I think 2022 could be the time for that, unless Hamilton calls it a day when the rule change kicks in.Big Tea wrote: ↑09 Dec 2020, 17:41I have to admit I would be very interested in a Hamilton v Russell contestEl Scorchio wrote: ↑09 Dec 2020, 13:42I think that's just you.
