Aston Martin: Alonso Good pace during the sprint from both cars, but the race pace was lacking. Alonso took the honours in both events, and Colapinto's radio messages in the race tell you everything about Stroll's performance (or rather, lack thereof). RB: Hadjar While Lawson's defensive effort ove...

TheGiantHogweed

Just watched some more highlights of the race showing a replay of Hadjar's attempted overtake... He literally turned towards Lawson after he got slightly ahead into turn one and banged wheels. That could have ended it for both of them very easily. I thought it was a tricky vote earlier on, but I thi...

Didn't "oldtimer" Alonso set a new record of beating his teammate this weekend? What record was that Paolo? I haven't heard anything I think the moderators said something about most (qualifying) wins in series or so. But I didn't check. In qualifying for sundays races, alonso has outqualified strol...

I didn't realise Ocon had a puncture as well as Verstappen. He apparently lost his time pitting after the safety car, and lost at least 10 seconds. He would have been well into the points if not for this. So I think he was a fair bit closer to Bearman than this race suggested. Still no reason to vot...

He does - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK83clSv6-k Look at 1:24-1:25 Yes, that was a bit further along than I thought. But did it get any further than noted? Or was it a racing incident. We don't know. It was never investigated. I don't really see the relevance though. You can see the incident f...

Stroll just drove him off the track. It's irrelevant how "optimistic" it is was to be there. drove a driver off the track that had the tip of his wing along side. There have been so many other instances where this has happened and the drivers have just pulled out of a closing gap. Did stroll get a ...

A Lance Stroll spacial awareness special. He's done many silly things in the past, but I thought it was very optimistic of Bortoleto to keep just the tip his front wing where it was into a right hand corner where he would have lost out to Stroll anyway had he kept it there. He could have lifted jus...

I missed the first third of the race. I'm seeing the incident at the start as a racing incident, but still would disagree with the views here. I do think that Piastri was mostly to blame. Yes Antonalli did make it tight, but Piastri did lock up, and was not fully in control, and because of this, mad...

TheGiantHogweed

Well, I'm not sure Norris should be getting any DOTD votes today. He won, but he really wasn't all that quick, given Verstappen finished 10 seconds behind, when starting from the pit late, having to do all those overtakes. Other drivers did well, but Verstappen stood out by a mile.

Verstappen showing himself to be the real difference maker he is in this race.

I still would say that this season, aside from Spain, Verstappen has generally been on another level to every other driver on the grid.

TheGiantHogweed

It will be incredible if Verstappen wins this, and I will be stunned.

Rookie driving from Piastri putting a wheel onto a wet kerb, his season has really fallen apart.

And hulkenberg seems to have driven like a rookie as well. Colapinto showing why the team have kept him. Apparently down to "talent"

TheGiantHogweed

Again I feel that any of the cars that contributed to this red flag, should not be allowed to use this free time to fix there car. Otherwise, many could deliberately cause this situation to their or their teams advantage.

TheGiantHogweed

Hamilton still shows signs of skill. That was a great start. I think bearman was way too aggressive with Lawson here. As he dangerously pushed ocon off the track onto the grass. Piastri continuing to plummet in performance. Hulkenberg also in general has just been poor his year aside from his podium.

TheGiantHogweed

The microphone in Norris's car sounds dreadful. Perfect job by him though. Solid job by Alonso and Stroll as well. Alonso beats Verstappen, and Stroll only just behind. Piastri will have to hope for a bad start from Norris. Antonelli clearly better than Russell as well. Leclerc and Hamilton both dis...

TheGiantHogweed

Hamilton is going to be / should be in big trouble for that. He went waay too fast during the double yellows there. From looking at that, it just has to be a 5 place grid penalty at least.

I am happy to say that normal service appears to have been resumed this week. Thanks to anyone who had a hand in resolving whatever issues plagued the forum.

Im also a bit unclear why Verstappen was able to keep track position on Hamilton according to the guidelines after cutting the track at turn 2/3 chicane (after the crash). Hamilton was on the inside and his front wing was more than in front of Verstappens mirror, i thought that this meant he had th...

What is anyone elses view / knowledge in this area? The lack of penalty for the next race.

TheGiantHogweed

Now that the f1 radio rewind has been put on youtube, there are now lots of things shown that the main footage missed. Including Hadjar making a bad start, and getting frustrated with himself and apologizing to his team. Meanwhile, Sainz crashed into Lawson, which basically prevented him from passin...

Couldn't put it in a better spot. How is a VSC needed? How are double yellows even needed? He was off track in a manner of seconds. 1982565698183532845 Because cars would still have been racing around the corner and there is still a slight possibility (yes very slim) that a driver could go off and ...

I am feeling that Piastri will get over his slump and be back next race. I also don't think Norris will be totally error free like he was this weekend. He has not managed several races in a row without messing up in q3 or the start. I think between the McLaren drivers, it will be incredibly close an...

Norris over Piastri Verstappen over Tsunoda Antonelli over Russell Gasly over Colapinto Bearman over Ocon Hadjar over Lawson Sainz over Albon Edit: I didn't realise that sainz actually crashed and broke his steering on lap 69.

TheGiantHogweed

Bearman, Verstappen, Antonelli. I was very impressed with how Verstappen handled his 2nd stint. While I have different views about how the VSC is needed, I do think verstappen will have got by Leclerc there. Bearman easily was the stand out driver, but his final stint was not very strong. Maybe (as...

TheGiantHogweed

What an absolute joke that VSC was. Just leave the car where it is for the last lap. It's a 40MPH corner. I haven't seen exactly what happened yet, but my view is this: If it was the case that there were people on track pushing his car down the escape road, then there had to be a VSC. The marshalls...

TheGiantHogweed

Well, that is a grid penalty for Sainz for the next race again is it not? Not that it was his fault (guessing from the issue he reported). But failing to serve a drive through can surely only result in a grid drop for the next race? And because of the severity of the penalty (20 seconds) It suggests...

TheGiantHogweed

Verstappen cannot afford to make any mistakes at this stage to be within a chance of getting the WDC, but - if he doesn't go for it, then things will still be hard with him losing those points. But he can't afford losing loads of points with a careless lunge.
