Basically Andretti Autosport buy stake in Alfa...Dumping GIO for Colton Herta... Nyck de Vries & Guanyu Zhou also in the mix.

It's everywhere. Does Herta have enough points to eligible for a Super License? I don't think he does.

Edit: Checked. He only has 32 points. He wouldn't be eligible until 2023 unless the FIA gave him special dispensation. Stranger things have happened.

Don't know...F1 is quite a jump from Indy Car!!! I'd have a tuff time picking Herta.

At least GRO is enjoying Indy!!! He seems very happy here!

Colton Herta is an amazing talent...would love to see him excel in F1 too.

Here's why...
“It’s the freedom of driving the car the way you like to drive it,” he said, drawing a comparison to the F1 cars he drove for a decade. “You don’t need to look after charging mode, push mode, tire temperature, tire window, so on and so on. You just go in the car, leave the pit lane, then you push every single lap. You play a bit with your bars. But as I said, you push, push, push, come in, pit, new tires.”...Roman Grosjean

I wish he wouldn't have gotten off the F1 career track but money speaks volumes.

A few P1 practice runs and he will be approved. F1 likes the idea of Andretti. It’s painful seeing JoB getting out of the Alpha with the dead man walking posture.

''Super Max'' said from Merc base but not from Wolf or hammy obviously.

Honda engined cars in the top ten, thanks to hammy for grid penalty

It’s cold, wet and humid. Rained overnight.

Intermediates to start possibly.

High deg wet race, This will be interesting.

M5Rick · 10-10-2021, 06:06 AM

Start on inters is on and good for Max starting on the inside.

Max has to start on the dirty side of the grid ...

The spray....

It's better on the wet than dry, as it's the dirty side it won't make much difference as it would in the dry and I see he kept Lec behind at the start

Yeah Max pulls back a trifle from Bot to keep him in check without too much spray and damn, Ham gets past Tsunoda and now Stroll.
Seems the stewards have started bashing Honda,giving Gasly 5 sec time penalty for an unavoidable contact.

Mercedes found new (more) power , there's an incredible amount of power running through the Mercedes powertrain !

Strange noises can be heard in the Mercedes PU ....

HAM's Merc is pulling in warp-speed => P6 !

HAM's lap is 1 sec. faster than MAX ...

That's what Wolf said, strange noises...another BS he made up for the fans and media.
Now Ham gets past Norris as if he's standing still, are we seeing jet-mode 2 on the Mercs.

GuidoK · 10-10-2021, 07:25 AM

Ferrari also seems to have a good racepace.

But the merc advantage is very clear

From what I can see , HONDA has a lot of work to do !

This time it will be very hard to close the gap vs Mercedes ..

That plenum chamber sensor trick is working for them well on the straight but it looks like they have something else there too. Bot is on a older engine?

Currently Checo is the key-factor ...

Hopefully he wakes up on time !

Striking distance HAM vs Checo is 4 laps ...
