5 takeaways from Paul Ricard F1 GP 2021

1. Redbull trusting, Mercedes not trusting their 2nd driver.

Well, Redbull beating Mercedes is not just on strategy. It is because Mercedes didn’t trust their 2nd driver. If Mercedes had done 2 stopper for Bottas, he would’ve hunted down Perez. But all they had to do was to make him slow down Verstappen.

2. Ricciardo is back.

It is been so long since I’ve seen a late-breaking manoeuvre from him. It feels so similar to an oreo milkshake.

3. Paul Ricard is some trippy track!

Personally, I never liked the track since its return. Neither it offers very exciting races, it is very painful for my brain whenever I watch the live stream. They should really figure out an alternative for the red and blue lines.

4. Leclerc in 17th

It is painful! Ferraris sinking like metal during races. We have seen it in Baku as well. They should find out a way to sort out their tire issues.

5. Gasly deserves a better car

2022 will be a game-changer for better or worse. Gasly deserves a better car where he can take it to Verstappen and Horner.
