Re: 2023 Dutch Grand Prix Race Thread
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.

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.

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...

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.

Red Bull set their car up for 1-lap pace sacrificing race pace. This was evident in the race sims and Toto also alluded to it.
Red Bull wanted track position by being on pole but Max's mistake ruined that.
