Wow; I haven't voted (and see little need to frankly), but viewing the results is interesting: the first 8 of 8 teammate "wars" provide exactly zero votes for the second in the pair (even Verstappen - who barely made one corner in the effort over Tsunoda). Wow, this is getting mundane, is it not? G...

TheGiantHogweed

What do we think prevented Tsunoda getting a penalty for forcing Stroll off? Was it down to these rules that Verstappen always uses to his advantage of whoever gets to the apex first has the corner? Tsunoda did, but Stroll left space and still had his front wing and left front wheel slightly ahead o...

A quick turnaround for Silverstone means a quick write up from my side. Half of the field retain a 100% record versus their teammate after the Canada vote, with Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen, George Russell, Isack Hajdar and Nico Hulkenberg all continuing their perfect starts. With ten races dow...

TheGiantHogweed

I think the difference is quite easily explained... Stroll moved across in an intentional racing move. Colapinto just didn't know Piastri was there. It is just that 5 seconds is basically the most lenient it can be. Drivers ignoring blue flags get much worse than this. He must have known that a lea...

TheGiantHogweed

That is ridiculous. 5 seconds?? Stroll got 10 for doing basically the same to a driver who decided to drive into a closing gap. Colapinto was literally required to move out of the way, not push the leaders off the track. That should be a drive through IMO. It was dangerous... I think the difference...

TheGiantHogweed

I think the main ones are Hulkenberg and Lawson. Maybe Alonso too. I think Bortoletto's result is not as good as many are implying. As is often the case, first points and rare decent / good performances can swing the votes a bit. Hulkenberg after a very poor Saturday showed just how good that Sauber...

TheGiantHogweed

Alonso holding back the much faster Bortoleto was masterclass driving! It was partially related to being a rookie / lack of experience as to the fact that Alonso managed to hold Bortoleto behind though. Bortoleto made quite a big error near the end. He could easily have had Alonso if he didn't atte...

TheGiantHogweed

Bit of a rookie judgement from Bortoletto there. He shouldn't have allowed Alonso to get DRS.

TheGiantHogweed

Colapinto should get a penalty for that surely.

TheGiantHogweed

Piastri fighting with a red bull looks normal, but it is a lapped one. Ouch Tsunoda.

TheGiantHogweed

I am starting to think Hulkenberg may be able to beat Bortoletto here. Hulkenberg won't have to pit again but Bortoletto either will have to, or seriously struggle.

TheGiantHogweed

Well, whoever this commentator is constantly gets the team mates mixed up. So often saying Stroll instead of Alonso, or the other way round. Said Russell collided with Verstappen at the start. In terms of mistakes, I think he is worse than Crofty. Chandhok is great though. Chandhok and Brundle would...

TheGiantHogweed

Alonso vs Lawson. Hopefully this will go better than the Miami sprint.

TheGiantHogweed

Hulkenberg is having a pretty strong race actually. He isn't much slower than Bortoletto despite the tyre difference.

TheGiantHogweed

Tsunoda has been awful this race. Crashing into Stroll and colapinto.

I don't see how these mistakes are the teams fault. Drivers as a team mate to Verstappen just seem to make so many silly errors.

TheGiantHogweed

If Hulkenberg was instructed to let his team mate through, he took an age to do it...

TheGiantHogweed

That incident between Tsunoda and Stroll was clearly caused by Tsunoda. Stroll gave plenty of space and still got pushed off track - involving contact.

TheGiantHogweed

Piastri should have done that move in the 2nd straight.

TheGiantHogweed

That is a real shame for Lawson having to steer round all that and losing out.

TheGiantHogweed

That has to be a grid drop for next race for antonelli. Big mistake.

TheGiantHogweed

Really bad luck for verstappen this weekend.

TheGiantHogweed

I can't remember. Now Sainz is starting in the pit lane, does Hulkenberg park in his grid slot or will he still have to park in the P20 slot?

TheGiantHogweed

Surely Sainz is not allowed to start now he has had assistance?

edit.
Yes, at least start from the pit lane.

TheGiantHogweed

What can be said now that Lawson was able to qualify 6th in Austria? He's the same driver who qualified dead last in his first & only 2 races with Red Bull? Should we assume Lawson has now become that good or can we safely say that the second Red Bull car is the toughest seat to qualify in (Tsunoda...

TheGiantHogweed

The first truly impressive thing Norris has done all season really. Good job. But does he have an upgrade that Piastri does not? His first lap certainly was impressive, as was his 2nd, but we don't really know just how impressive it was given Verstappen and his team mate both got robbed of a 2nd lap.

TheGiantHogweed

I think Lawson was probably the most impressive driver this session, or Bortoletto. I personally think that the Sauber has been a lot better recently, and Hulkenberg just never got it together in Q1. Hulkenberg was very inconsistent last year and had some weekends where he just had no pace. This cou...

TheGiantHogweed

I am a bit surprised that Russell and Antonelli have so many more votes than Verstappen. I believe that the Red Bull was clearly worse than Mercedes and also McLaren this weekend. I do think that Mercedes had the best car, and Antonelli while he did pass Piastri, with the car he had (and given Russ...

TheGiantHogweed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eytD94HXx4A Maybe a bit of a strange thing to compare, but I think Russell was trying harder here to get verstappen another penalty that Verstappen was trying to hit russell last race. I don't believe Verstappen did actually try to crash into Russell. He just barely s...

TheGiantHogweed

I know I quite often defend Stroll, but what are your views on his penalty this time? I usually think Stroll's penalties for defensive moves in the breaking zone are among the most clear cut of any driver that get these. This time however, he started drifting accross the track to the left in a tota...

TheGiantHogweed

There are rather a lot of highlights today, but just neither of the McLaren drivers for a change. Russell was perfect, but didn't have a challenge. Verstappen arguably was FAR better than his car realistically can archive, probably with any other driver. I would find it hard not to vote for him if I...

TheGiantHogweed

Good on Norris for blaming himself, but man that was so clumsy.

TheGiantHogweed

I think albons issue is almost certainly related to him bouncing his car through the gravel at the start. That was a big wallop to the underside of his car.

TheGiantHogweed

The way crofty calmly states that Alonso is passing Tsunoda. If that was Verstappen getting passed by a Ferrari, that would be an absolute shock. It does basically seem that no matter how bad the 2nd Red Bull driver is, it is just seen as normal.

TheGiantHogweed

Where did that come from by Russell? Well done! Norris and Leclerc shockers. Leclerc hit dirty air / air turbulances from Hadjar. Leclerc messed up with oversteer before Hadjar could possible have effected him surely? A full 2 seconds of Hadja not being directly infront passed before Leclerc had hi...

TheGiantHogweed

HUH, they cut the cameras right when Verstappen was heading towards Russell to shake hands (or go for a punch up, who knows?) Anyway, I am convinced they have both moved on and it just isn't on their mind any more.
