F1 2021 - Has this been one of the most exciting seasons for you?

[Inkydel]

F1 returns next weekend after the summer break.
What a season so far...
Thoughts?

Personally I think every race has had something spectacular, it's been a great season so far with Max and Lewis closely fighting for glory, + every other driver showing up, so many battles making this in my opinion such an eventful season.

What will this latter part of season hold?
Who will win?
Will Bottas be replaced - if so, by who?
What about the advancements with McLaren, Aston Martin, Williams, Ferrari...?

I believe i have yet to watch single race so far this season (GP compilation videos from F1 Youtube channel probably dont count) so yeah it has been very exciting i should imagine

As a Dutchman I naturally hope that Max Verstappen will take his first world title.
In the first part of the season you saw that Lewis was under pressure, which he was not used to in a while, so he made several mistakes.

I expect George Russell to replace Valtteri Bottas after this season. Russell's three-year contract with Williams will expire after this season and he has certainly shown his talent at Williams.

I'm looking forward to the second half of the season and hoping for just as much spectacle that will make every lap of the race interesting!

It will only be good if verstappen is champion.

Honestly, I stopped following Formula 1 a long time ago. It was very monotonous. Maybe I'll watch it again now.

Max all the way.

Mercedes has improved a lot in the last races, and I think Hamilton will still snatch the title. I'm waiting for Russell in Mercedes, Bottas as for me is not the level of Mercedes, he has never shown anything in it. I couldn't even force the fight on Verstapen and Noriss. As a mclarn fan, I hope Lando takes his first win of the season, he deserves it. I hope McLaren will replace Ricciardo and take a good and suitable driver. I hope they will remove the rent-racer, Mazepin and give a chance to talented racers.

The races are fine, but for me it would be really exciting if 4-5 drivers had a chance to win the series, but realistically only Verstappen and Hamilton have it. :flute:

So Bottas would be perfect for what team then? Alfa Romeo or something right.
Although even for them replacing Kimi (who ends his F1 career) with Valtteri is probably huge step backwards lol

The season was been perfect... but then Belgium happened.

I do not know how to evaluate Botass. You look at him, and you realize that he has no balls, no character. Even if you remember Rosberg, it's completely different. For an Alpha, you need an experienced person with leadership qualities, and not a passive Botass. We will miss Kimi's jokes. I think most likely Botass can be thrown out of Formula 1. And Alex Elbon will come to Williams, and Schumacher will be taken to Alpha, and Botass will not go to Haas

Should be good second half of season and as for next season - Hammy/Russell v Max Good times!

The second part of the season is sure to be sensational! As a fan of Red Bull Racing, I hope that Perez will show his qualities more and split the Mercedes again. Now Max Verstappen has to compete against two rivals.

 

[namvidnee]

There is a fight for the first place. This is already good!

Hi, personally I prefer seasons from 2005 to 2013 between Ferrari and Mercedes dominance. Maybe it's just my visual, because I was younger, the grass was more green
And I'm happy that Max did not kill Lewis in that 1st chicane last Sunday. That was hell of a race.
