OK, Davidson has changed my mind. Verstappen did move twice under braking.

Should have been a slam dunk penalty.

Clarky

It looked to me like Verstappen drifted over towards the outside of the corner on entry as all drivers do when defending the inside there.* His mistake was going about 5cm too far. It's his fault and he deserves a penalty but if neither driver had been damaged it would have received a black and whi...

And a reprimand for Leclerc. Utterly ridiculous.

Has set a very dangerous precedent.

F1 embarrassing themselves yet again!

Derek Warwick was a steward yesterday :nod: A team also flagged Perez potentially exceeding track limits on regular occasions at Turn 6 but didnt go any further. So? Are you trying to create some conspiracy theory around this? The matter was referred to stewards by the technical delegate (Jo Bauer)...

So they test 4 cars (top 4) and find 50% are illegal yet don't test the rest, come on!!! How can you not test their teammates at the very least. Sainz with another inherited podium. Upon further reading I figured they do the test at random; whoever is not selected is free to start disassembling the...

Hamilton thinks he had the pace to beat Verstappen today. He said challenge not necessary beat them. One is the same as the other right? If you can challenge them then by definition you must be capable of beating them. I am just saying that Hamilton did not say he could beat them like you said.

Got to be a wind up surely...!!!

I'm rather surprised by those who feel they have to single out one of 4 stewards. Why? Derek Warwick is the driver who can give the driver's point of view when the team of 4 stewards have to reach a decision. Had they just touched wheels and continued, it is doubtful the stewards would have been wa...

When a Red Bull fights Hamilton, he backs out to avoid contact, no penalty because there is no contact, forget the clear intention. When Hamilton fights a Red Bull who don't back out and contact is made, penalty for Hamilton. Cant have it both ways. Good old Uncle Derek Warwick. Yesterday in my opin...

Clarky

Red Bull's DRS here is not as strong for reason I don't know.

Put it into perspective, the start finish straight here is longer than hanger straight at Silverstone yet the advantage is not there.

Clarky

Anyone expecting a Max divebomb on the inside of turn 1 tomorrow? I think Norris will likely get his first win tomorrow. Verstappen has already proven he'd rather lose to anybody but Hamilton so I expect an ambitious move and collision at some point in the race. I doubt it, the red bull is still th...

Was Verstappen finishing a lap when this happened? If so, he’s basically just blocked Hamilton doing his lap.

no penalty ofcourse? wtf ?
Can only assume Mercedes team didn't raise it with the stewards for whatever reason

Shouldn't need too!

The thing that makes it a sport rather than a show is that you can't just red flag it in order to make it more exciting. The winner is the winner after following the rules and procedures set out at the start. The rules allow for a red flag. If it wasn't a red flag on lap 3 it shouldn't be a red fla...

Clarky

So its still ok to force other drivers of the circuit then...!!!

Clarky

As much as it's not really in the spirit of the safety car rules, Sainz letting Leclerc get a 10 car length gap probably would have made sense. It wouldn't have really affected the gap between Sainz - Hamilton at the restart, and Sainz would have caught Leclerc and passed him anyway (just a bit lat...

Andrew Shovlin reckoned that the change could help move Mercedes nearer to the front: “When it came to light, we realised there's opportunities that we've perhaps not been taking or exploiting.”

FROM TWITTER:

During investigations on the planks and floors, the technical commissioners discovered that some teams deliberately play with the stiffness of the planks. When the FIA threatened that the middle part of the ground would be uniformly stiff in the future, RB & Ferrari opposed.

I dont get that Mercedes race pace at all.

Tweet from Croftt. So my understanding is that whilst the Event notes say ‘drivers must keep to the right of the line’ the FIA Sporting Code states ‘drivers must not cross the line’ Both protests dismissed, but why are @FIA Race Director Event Notes not consistent with the sporting code. It was cop...

Monaco's race directors notes said you have to stay to the right meaning NO TOUCHING.

This is an incredible performance by Hamilton to only be 12 seconds behind Russell.
Anyone got the gap at the end of lap 1?
It was about 16 seconds when Lewis pitted. It was 52.2 by the time he started his second lap.

Was this to Russell?

Horner stating the merc violates the spirit of the regulations. All very well stating that but why would that be then, explaining the objection would help wouldn't it? I do wonder if its that tightly packed how cooling can be efficient at the 'hotter' circuits. They are using a system called CCS (C...

What a sad champion Max has become. Imagine winning your 1st F1 championship and nobody talks about it outside of the Netherlands and the runner up hogs all the attention even without uttering a single word. Just goes to show what a huge asterisk this championship has. No wonder Max fans are mad. T...

That Mercedes is ultra thin.

@f1blag
The @fia has quietly released updated sporting regulations, including changes to when the safety car should come in after lapped cars unlap.

And even against these new rules, Abu Dhabi would STILL be illegal.

Clarky

I guess it's no surprise, those that either support Max or don't care that much for Hamilton simply don't care, it's interesting how much value people put on F1 actually being a sport. Plenty of legitimate sports have had championships decided by a bad call. 'Hand of God', anyone? Wasn't that in th...

Hamilton’s tire advantage will only come in play if he passes Max at the start and leads by end of lap 1. This means Max has to follow on softs which will degrade his tires. If Max is ahead from lights out he will be in clean air, thus reducing the stress on his tires. He can do 18-20 laps easily w...

It was a great lap by Verstappen but I'm in the opinion Red Bull have sacrificed race pace for one lap like in Jeddah. Lets not forget Verstappen should have been on pole by 3-4 tenths. Hamilton seemed happy with P2. All Hamilton needs to do is get off the line well and if he cant get ahead of Verst...

Clarky

Nonsense penalty IMO. Perfectly clear Verstappen was letting Hamilton by and not deliberately brake testing looking at both onboards. I was of that opinion but they’ve looked at the telemetry and penalised him He kept slowing down as he wanted Hamilton to pass him before the DRS board, however it's...

I guess it depends when he braked but I think that explanation raises more questions than it answers. They carefully avoid clarifying if he braked or not. Huh?

So you can be found guilty of brake testing another driver who then hits you to be given a pointless penalty which has no baring on the result.

The should be an automatic DSQ.

If Max was breaking down, would Hamilton have done that?

I am struggling to understand why Hamilton slowed and went right on his gearbox. He had time and options. Its a bizarre incident tbh. Don't think either driver covers themselves in glory.

Max would have moved out of the way completely.
