Can anyone explain what Hamilton did differently to Alonso or Ocon or Vettel or any of the top 10 drivers which only left him exhausted & dizzy?

Was it an antic to neutralize booing fans?

It's a tough GP and he was fully pushing through most of it. The others wouldn't have been.

mikeyg123

Gutted for Vettel.

mikeyg123

Did Lewis have a car 2-3 seconds faster than the entire field? Or did he have a tyre offset to the field based on how early he pitted and then taking the extra stop? As I said he literally exceeded the expectations of what you said when I added the caveat if Verstappens car is healthy after the red...

Hamilton had the pace to lap the entire field easily today. He really should have won. Didn't make it a walk in the park to pass cars though. And I get the impression that a lot of Ham's race pace today was down to him - his pace was fantastic. Unfortunately no good direct comparisons with Bottas n...

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.

.

Stewards don't decide when the red flag comes in.

mikeyg123

Plenty of time for you too, Greenman. What have you come up with? Plus, perhaps it was all for safety work. Not simply clearing the circuit but allowing teams to ensure the cars they were sending back out were all safe. I have no problem and I'd rather have a longer red flag and more cars in the ra...

mikeyg123

Sooo loads were told to box. What is even the rule then? Perhaps teams thought that after the red flag it's not a formation lap as the race has started... Perhaps it isn't.

But if not why are they investigating

Well that's it then but why in holy hell has that not been picked up to the end of the race?

Hamilton is the worlds luckiest man.

George Russell talking to Chandhok and said the predicament that Merc has is where their pitbox is whatever they do they come out last. So another one that thinks that. I don't see how that's the case... Merc pitbox is first so he has to wait for everyone else to file passed before he gets away but...

mikeyg123

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 nothin...

mikeyg123

Ocon and Alonso. Nobody else comes close.

mikeyg123

Stewards won't give a sporting penalty for that. This isn't FE.

Ricciardo should be relieved of his duties .. Zero progress all year and his cheeky laughs and smiles are getting old now .. dude needs to step up or surrender his seat .. what an absolute disservice to the team

Can't judge him on this race. He likely had major damage.

Emilia Romagna - Draw

5-4 to Red Bull.

Very even stevens so far this season.

Exactly what I have.

This race is a perfect illustration of what I've always said. Easy overtaking doesn't make for good races.

Vettels been called to the stewards because of the top he wore during the national anthem. Pathetic from the FIA.

Max Verstappen's first line of his post-race interview:

"Again, taken out by a Mercedes, so..."

Olympic gold medal for whinging, though still time for his team principal to nick it from him. Getting tedious now!

It's hardly whinging it was the defining moment in his race.

So Mercedes told Hamilton more raining was coming, another fail for the strategy team with a win thrown in the bin.

Max was completely handicapped due to driving a broken car. It was worth claiming 1 point.

Hamilton would have parked that car for sure.

mikeyg123

Alonso hit Hamilton there :lol: :lol: :lol: Leaving space on the outside approaching a corner doesn't include banging wheels Alonso left space. Find someone who agrees with you and I'll take it seriously. In my view it's the best defensive drive I've seen in years. Sainz Only lasted a lap.

What Ricciardo is doing in that Mclaren is a joke.

Half the front runners out & he still finishes out of the points almost 30 sec behind a damaged Red Bull.

He’s got serious problems in that car.

He also very likely had a badly damaged car.

mikeyg123

Brilliant race! So pleased for Ocon

mikeyg123

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 10 places ...
