I don't know if I'm remembering wrong, but what is the most common penalty for speeding in the pit lane? Does it differ depending on by how much you speed? Unless I'm remembering wrong, I'm sure it isn't often a 10 second stop go that Giovinazzi received?

i think my post was clear enough. I put no blame on Norris at all for turn 1, but the way he angled his car towards Bottas well before this was pointless given the speed advantage he had. As I said, If Bottas didn't lift, it could well have been a huge incident, which Norris would have been to blame...

TheGiantHogweed

The top two is a toss up between Norris and Verstappen. But I think when you look at their team mates and how Norris is putting Daniel in the shade he's got to get the nod. If you had two Daniels in that car you'd think it was comfortably behind the Ferrari and I can't really think of a session whe...

A lot of armchair pundits on the interwebs are taking this as evidence that Valtteri won't be back after the summer break.... ...and after the massive crashfest that he caused on lap one. I am guessing that Merc are going to use the test to get George more comfortably fitted in the car for the 2022...

Hamilton over Bottas -- Bottas took out half the grid. Enough said. Vettel over Stroll -- Stroll messed up turn one and wiped out Leclerc. Enough said. If you are including Verstappen, Bottas effected 4 drivers. Literally the ones he took out, then 3. Not quite 10 is it? :lol: Stroll must have take...

Easy votes with little need for an explanation: Hamilton over Bottas Verstappen over Perez Vettel over Stroll Ocon over Alonso Gasly over Tsunoda Raikkonen over Giovinazzi Latifi over Russell Harder votes (or lack of them) Leclerc over Sainz - I thought Sainz looked really good in the race, but Lecl...

TheGiantHogweed

I thought Hamilton's drive was outstanding. One other GOAT away from claiming a super famous victory today. Great craft from himself, fantastic craft from Alonso in defence for an all-time duel. Alonso and Hamilton then. Ocon third. Sainz fourth for his race read. Vettel fifth. Next. May I ask, wou...

NOTHING in the regs to extend the Red Flag period to allow further repairs to cars - again, the Stewards seem to have invented a new regulation.

It's those block capitals again!

Are you SURE about that?

Vettel, Bottas, Sainz and Stroll reprimanded for wearing the wrong t-shirt

If any of them already had 2 reprimands, it would be hilarious if a t-shirt earned them a grid drop....

What a stupid outcome...

TheGiantHogweed

Alonso Hamilton Ocon Vettel, Gasly Stroll gifted Ocon and Vettel P2 and 3 with his most stupid crashing into Leclerc, Mercedes gifted them the lead at the re-start, and Alonso saved them from getting caught by Hamilton. Still, Ocon held on to it with a fine drive! How came that Russell was briefly ...

Ricciardo should be relieved of his duties ..

He ha...

Guys, it looks like Ocon may have been told to box on the formation lap...
Oh dear...

Lets just wait and see if the team certainly told him. Giovinazzi said that he was coming in for a gamble, and the team said nothing. I don't know if it was Ocon or the team who said / asked.

TheGiantHogweed

Well, what is your view on Russell just just being told to give the positions back after he was cheeky in the pit lane. He actually implied that the stewards could well have been far more harsh. Seems odd that Giovinazzi gets a 10 second stop go for speeding in the pit lane, but Russell gets nothing...

TheGiantHogweed

Ocon and vettel will probably get a penalty, then hamilton will take the race win!

TheGiantHogweed

Wonder what Grosjean is thinking. He was very jealous when another Frenchman won, and he really congratulated Gasly at the time. Now he probably will feel even more jealous now another frenchman has won!

TheGiantHogweed

This was a first lap incident, but what are anyone else's thoughts on Norris's change of direction when he and perez were passing Bottas at the start? To me it actually looked rather sudden and had bottas not backed out, that could have been an incident similar to the scale of what happened in turn ...

Hamilton looked unwell rather than just tired on the podium. To the extent that Ocon actually noticed and asked him if he was okay I think. Maybe dehydration?

Not sure. Bottas apparently had a his drink system fail last weekend, so could hamilton's have done the same?

Should we thank Bottas for this spectacular grand prix?

Bottas and Stroll both caused a 3 -4 car pile up and loads of avoiding action which aided others. Would say Stroll helped as much as Bottas!

TheGiantHogweed

I'm so pleased for Ocon, but I have to say that I think Vettel deserved that win. He did an incredible outlap and had a pit stop that clearly cost him that bit of time. I also thought Ocon's late defence when vettel got close with the back markers was a bit too close to the limit. Other than that, g...

TheGiantHogweed

Bit of an unrelated note, but just what is the point of the teams wearing masks any more? All wearing them under their chin and all screaming and shouting face to face. The celebration is understandable, but masks are beyond pointless at the moment.

TheGiantHogweed

This is going to hurt Bottas. Been so long since his last win. And we've seen Gasly, Perez, Ocon and am i missing a few? All win in cars that are nowhere near the top. Not that they were not helped out admittedly though.

TheGiantHogweed

5 grid place is an extremely weak penalty. Also what about Stroll? I reminded you of this. Hulkenberg in Spa one year? I don't think he got much of a penalty at all. Rosberg was expecting 5 places or so. I think he should get at least 2 penalty points in addition to that though. Hulk got ten places...

Vettel really needs ocon to make a mistake.

TheGiantHogweed

i wonder if there is a crash coming with hamilton and alonso.... Hopefully they respect eachother.

TheGiantHogweed

people say they like rosberg, and he says Latifi has been really close to Russell on race pace all season... He's been closer on several occations than many realise, but usually nowhere near.

TheGiantHogweed

Ricciardo can't even pass a williams, and Russell isn't catching latifi. It basically is implying that Latifi's pace better than Ricciardo given how much better the Mclaren is, which is quite a shock if I'm honest. Ricciardo took a big hit in turn 1. Probably badly damaged. Sorry, forgot about that.

TheGiantHogweed

wonder if schumacher will help vettel?

i think that pit stop certainly cost vettel leading the race at this stage. A bit unlucky.

I don't think my Canadian broadcast is the same as yours. What graphics?

It is the world feed. When they show the track on the screen and the drivers positions. Bottas's circle was still there on the track.

Can Hamilton still win this on a two stopper?

No, he's already had 3

I HATE this fake in game looking graphics. How artificial do they want the screen to look?

TheGiantHogweed

this is certainly interesting. Hamilton struggling in a top car, and verstappen in a hindered top car, fighting for the title, but right down in the lower end of the points.

TheGiantHogweed

hamilton. Moan moan moan moan. I can't do this, I can't do that.

Don't worry, he'll win
