The move in question.........

.

Excellent video, showing Verstappen had plenty of opportunity/space to overtake.

Nothing stopping him, other than his own choices.

.

When in that video could Verstappen have overtaken?

mikeyg123

Yea because it’s impossible to overtake a car going half speed… It is when that car is going fast enough where passes can be made. Yep. It's totally legal but spoils it for me and I guess others. Time they introduced a minimum speed limit for qualifying. There was a minimum speed Yes, but that stil...

I really don't like booing in F1. Vettel got booed on every podium in 2013 and it really grated on me. If Hamilton is getting booed here Belgium and Netherlands (if we go) are going to be unpleasant. Really not a fan personally. None of these guys deserve boo's. Let alone a great champion like Hamil...

Hamilton reaching new lows today
Haha. Lower than going to the stewards pleading with them to ban someone got a race incident?

Perez pays the price for Red Bulls immaturity.

You've misspelled "Mercedes"

mikeyg123

Key for Verstappen to get himself ahead of Bottas. Merc look commanding.

1-0 to Hamilton on strategy you would think...

I think Red Bull have the best strategy for obtaining track position in the slower car. If the race was a time trial then Merc definitely have the better strategy.

It's very hard to overtake here though. Track position is key.

Alonso is special round here. So weird how many legendary drivers love this track: Schumacher, Alonso, Hamilton.

You've forgotten the absolute master for the Hungaroring.... Damon Hill.

mikeyg123

Partly delayed updates. But Checo isn't an absolute top driver - and it's showing now that maybe Albon and Gasly are every bit as good as Checo. I can't buy that. I think the car takes a particularly adaptable driver to master. Checo has had to adapt a lot over the years. I realise the RB has more ...

Just listening to the BBC chequered flag podcast. Andrew Benson says there’s one leading driver (unnamed) who thinks Verstappen will take Hamilton out if given the chance this weekend.

With Hamilton looking likely for pole, if Max can squeeze into P2 I think turn 1 could be very interesting.

mikeyg123

Yeah. The incident was a racing incident where the blame was tilted towards Hamilton - absolutely nothing more. Red Bull are whining far too much - they've been unlucky that them and their driver came off far worse but..... it is Formula 1 - these things will inevitably happen, next time it might b...

I think its just hamilton following through and ensuring max understands hell continue to be as aggressive and isnt going to change just because there was contact Sure, but he broke the rules. He can't keep the same approach if he keeps getting penalties. He broke no rules, you keep repeating this ...

mikeyg123

Did he break the rules, though? He made a mistake, but I don't think he broke any rules aside from the result of the mistake. I think Hamilton is saying he'd go for the move again given the same chance, and just hope to do it better next time. Fair point. He needs to clean up in that case or he'll ...

mikeyg123

Mercedes themselves report from the GPS data that Verstappen was going 1kmph faster into Corpse than his fastest lap in qualifying, despite running 100kg of fuel and on cold and harder tyres and on a tighter line. So it seems neither would make the corner. Verstappen was taking a wider line than no...

You seem to be guaranteeing Williams a much better car for next season for that to happen, you have more confidence than Williams perhaps? Literally put IF in the second sentence. To be honest if you make a habit of only reading the first sentence of my posts that explains an awful lot. I'm not sur...

Hamilton saying hes reviewed the incident and wouldnt change a single thing about his approach. I read it as, if i went back in time id do the same again.

The thing is if Williams as a team are more financially capable of competing in years to come, it negates the need for Latifi then. Getting two good drivers would atleast enable them to dream of a higher WCC standing. Exactly. Williams could end up in a very tight midfield battle next season after ...

mikeyg123

Honestly you are both right. Yes, most teams are not going to pay a driver out of his contract. But, if you were to expect this from any team/drivers next season the situation for latifi makes this a reasonable bet. The one thing in his favor, other than the contract, is that Williams may decide th...

mikeyg123

Through results which can't be guaranteed given what is perceived as a top driver, Russell, has scored zero points for the team thus far, how would I presume two inferior drivers do better than Russell and thus bring extra money to the team, more money than what Latifi can guarantee, also let's not...

60% chance of rain. Hopefully we get a spicy rain. The more rain the better otherwise I see Max as the favourite. I'd still see Max as the favourite ;) :o Well if he can help to damage Hamilton's car again like in the last wet race at Imola then I'm sure that would help, even then Max had to pit ra...

Max will still be the favourite as long as the car is as good or better.

With such a ridiculous bit of action from Red Bull they really should have faced some sort of action like you would in other sports. Just a fine of sorts that would go in to youth level racing. Otherwise everyone may as well appeal everything and waste everyone's time. Red Bull didn't appeal. All t...

I never said two Latifi level drivers I expect one driver to be decent, I responded to what I believe was said that two decent drivers would be better than keeping Latifi in order to raise the profile of the team. The team may have a higher share price with two decent level drivers than a decent le...

During the last ten/twelve years how many drivers got a "championship contending car" ? Some happy years four, or else only two. If you don't take into account the obvious subservient n° 2 drivers, it reduces the number to 1 or 2. Such is the state of F1 that I wouldn't bet on any of the current "b...

No I'm saying that if Kubica's car counts then so should Ricciardo's car, I think it's unfair that Kubica should be discounted because he himself was able to make the difference whilst Ricciardo couldn't. I've the shown the numbers on how Kubica's car shouldn't be considered in itself as being a ti...

Any predictions on what the new evidence is. For it to be admissible it has to have been: Not evidence the stewards were aware of at the time of the original verdict. Unavailable at the time to the party lodging the appeal of the original verdict. Substantially different to evidence used in the ori...

mikeyg123

I'm talking about if they look better next year with two decent drivers than they would do with one decent driver and Latifi. Could they finish higher up in the WCC if they do? Could they raise their value in the stock market? I don't think they could at present, unless their second driver has Russ...

mikeyg123

I said greatest not best. Two different things. For example I think Alonso is better (based on their entire careers rather than right now) than Hamilton, but Hamilton is no doubt greater. On a purely reputational level surely Stefan Bellof must be a contender then. If we were talking best perhaps. ...

mikeyg123

Hamilton actually did yield, he just accidentally punted Verstappen off in the process. It's been pretty one sided in wheel-to-wheel combat this season in Verstappen's favour. Hamilton is yet to show anything more than flashes of the superb racecraft he showed between 2010-2016. If you can't beat h...

mikeyg123

This is Max being Max, not willing to give an inch even when it's clear he's at a disadvantage and relying on intimidation to force the other guy to lift because there's no way he's going to yield, but in this instance, he tried to intimidate the wrong driver on the wrong day, whilst helping said d...

mikeyg123

Bottom line Kubica drove a car capable of challenging the championship and Ricciardo hasn't. I think it's very important to make the distinction between a circumstantial challenger and a bona fide challenger. Kubica's 2008 challenge was firmly circumstantial. Hamilton and Massa were rather inconsis...

mikeyg123

I'm saying they need to improve the car massively to appear better then they are presently given that whoever replaces Russell will surely be worse, a bigger problem is the car rather then Latifi, if they don't improve the car weaker drivers are hardly going to offset the finance that Latifi brings...

Again his car was little better than Ricciardo's car is this season, Kubica got driver of the year because he was viewed as challenging for the title in a none title capable car otherwise finishing 4th in the WDC is in itself somewhat nondescript. We are looking to credit Ricciardo as the greatest ...
