Of course as you/I know , the whole situation depends from COVID .
As far as I can see ...It's NOT looking good !
What do you think my friend ? Think the vaccines s@cks too ?

Off-Topic ...
Over here a Santa Claus (over here It's actually "Sinterklaas") visited a retirement home .
Meanwhile , pretty much everyone (75 people) ended up with COVID in the hospital , because Sinterklaas was a super-COVID spreader , while he tested negative at that moment .
A few days later he tested positive ! Crazy !!!
Check this out , with pictures=> https://www.demorgen.be/nieuws/sint-...atie~b7dd3d82/

We shall see if Max can keep a cool head.

On any Vaccines, I would never take one before it was commercialized and on the market for 2-3 years. The first real clinical trial of any drug/compound is when 1,000,000 patients have taken them. Too much patient variability for a 4,000 subject clinical trial to catch all potential AEs.

Indeed my friend . Same here . As for any vaccine ,according Google it has to be tested for 10 years .
Side effects , and it won't work like it should be !

That's for sure . Too bad the RB16 had to ran like this during the whole '20 season .
MAX would show us the fire works ! Today MAX looked very relaxed , also on the startgrid .
Because he already knew it !
The whole '20 season was very boring by the Merc domination . But finally RB achieved to close the gap by the improved top speed .
Better late than never in this situation . But as we know MERC is never standing still .
Today MAX had no one to fear , while he ran out the Merc's sight . That looks very promising for the next season..
Today I was hoping for a close battle MAX vs HAM , but we actually watched a race in reverse by the RB16 dominance ..
I mean by the top-3 and podium in reverse..
BUT :
The '21 Merc will be very fast . And faster than in this season ..

Yes the threat from Merc in '21 is there in waiting, being built and as you said their mgu-k is the big danger, but they will have no das and 40% of the '21 RB will be different to now.

Indeed . The MGU-K is the Merc's "MAGIC"

As I know the Japanese at work in the company . I strongly believe that MAX's victory from today , is a big motivation for HONDA in '21 !
Tomorrow morning at work , I will hear from the Japanese , and as usual when MAX wins : Japan is going crazy !
From what we saw today ,It was a great job done by HONDA .
Yesterday and today for the first time in this season : MAX said I felt "One" with the car .
And today I saw the reactions from "Toyoharu Tanabe" (HONDA)
Great job Tanabe-San . Great job !

I'm just thinking ahead to March now and Merc with no more das (which they shouldn't have had at all this year). Naturally as you said the Honda engine win will excite Tanabe. From that more impetus for Honda techs to develop the '21 engine to a level near on par with the Merc one.

[Chappers 71]

I don't want to piss on max's parade but both the Mercedes were running on 'reduced power' due to their issues with the mguk..just saying

That said Max did drive a flawless race & was good to see Max & Red bull take the win.
Hopefully next season Redbull & Ferrari will be able to match the pace of the MB & we will see some competition.

Congratulations to Max

Thank goodness my man Daniel's time is up at the POS Renault!!

Here's looking forward to a great time at of the great motor racing companies with, what should still be, the premier motor in his car.

It looks like Newcastle is appx 1,000 miles from Melbourne....are you thinking about attending the opener on 21 Mar?? Have you attended before??

[Fender150]

I have yes both Melbourne and Adelaide.

This year I was supposed to attend the Belgium and Italian GP's, which is what I was referring to.

HONDA is already testing the '21 PU . The power output looked very promising.
It will be stronger . That's for sure .
For the moment I don't know more details regarding the numbers ..

Just after the race from today , Helmut Marko was called by Honda-Japan . He said he got oustanding news .
He said also : 'Nico the Hulk is "one" of the candidates
Perez is in the running as well...

Red Bull ? Yes , probably
Ferrari ? No way !
The first Ferrari '21 PU tests looked promising .
2 weeks later , I heard they blew by lack of durability !
Binotto (the clown) had his hands in his hair.
I'm happy for SEB . To see him go ..

Ferrari needs badly the Jet-Mode again...They ran like bullets !
Ask LeCrash ..Or Jean Todt the FIA clown

Thank you mate

Did you attend the 1996 race at Melbourne when Brundle's first lap massive shunt occurred??

Or tired of 17 races in 7 months. At least he ended on a high!
