he will be thinking about life after f1 and tangling with max could put him into a barrier at speed. Especiaĺly as he knows the lengths max will go too.

Wasn't it Lewis that was deemed by the stewards to have put Max into a barrrier at high speed at Silverstone?

TedStriker

https://youtu.be/BGvtbDl3rcI Alonso hasn't exactly been neutral this year, but his reaction is interesting. I felt watching at the time that Masi could have told them to unlap themselves a lap earlier, therefore avoiding this whole mess, as I thought the marshalls had cleared the track by that poin...

If Mercedes do appeal I'd imagine RB would ask the appeal committee to take a look at Hamilton's restart - pretty sure he wasn't following the rules when crawling along at walking pace. You can go at any pace as the lead car 4.12.5 No car may be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a mann...

4.12.9 When ordered to do so by the clerk of the course the observer in the car will use a green light to
signal to any cars between it and the race leader that they should pass.

Its pathetic from Red Bull..

Too bad Bottas is useless as usual
Even if Bottas was in play - I wouldn't want him to intentionally drive through corners slow and block apexs for Lewis.

You mean like Lewis did to Rosberg in 2016?

Bottas will be 10th by end of lap 1

Or 8th if Lewis and Max take each other out.

I watched the race twice now, and have read much of the commentary in this forum. I am a long time Hamilton fan, but I also like Max and what he brings. Remember this - "There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games,” Ernest Hemingway. A ...

Raises an interesting question that that I'm not sure is fully covered by the regulations. If a driver slows significantly enough to allow a following driver driving at normal speeds to retake a position and the following driver slows too and doesn't pass (as it may not be convenient for them to be...

Probably send them both to the pit lane for Sunday and leave the sprint race as is. With Lewis and Max it's already been clear that penalties are awarded in such a way as to keep them close in the champonship and make for more interesting racing rather than have the two of them driving off into the ...

TedStriker

Max sticks a set of softs on and takes a point back for fastest lap?

TedStriker

Really wish Lewis would stop whining about not being able to overtake. This is why 'neutrals' often support anyone but him.

TedStriker

Alonso - give that man a faster car!

TedStriker

Lewis moved on from 'Need more power' to 'he's moving all over the place'.

Just waiting for 'tyres are gone'

Old battles remembered....

If not for sainz lewis could have won this

If not for Bottas, Max could have won this

TedStriker

Can still see Lewis getting 26 points over Max here

Keeping up with this whilst watching the Spa24 hour is hard work. It's raining like mad in Spa and the lead is so close!!!!! 25 minutes to go in that one.

Maybe best not post spoilers for a concurrent live event?

TedStriker

So Lewis sails past MSC in one lap. Assume Max's car has a quite severe performance hit.

Verstappen surely had to give that back. He gained a massive advantage off track.

Probably not, as he was pushed off track

TedStriker

Let's hope Max's damage doesn't cause any understeer if Lewis is passing him on the outside.

TedStriker

Still seeing a Lewis - Max 1-2 here

TedStriker

Oddly there's a chance Max could benefit from this. If his car is good enough, he'll probably get 2nd. Could still come out 1st in the WDC. If Lewis gets fastest lap then they'd be even!

TedStriker

Red flag - could still have a race

TedStriker

Wow, Bottas really playing the team game there! Hit both RB's!

TedStriker

Bottas costing Mercedes the WCC this year. Mercedes got 34 points which considering Red bull had a massive advantage was the best they could have hoped for. Red Bull may have got more points, but that was sort of expected. Even had Bottas got to keep his 2nd place, I can't see any change how Merced...

Wow, half a lap of action!

Don't think Perez has enough laps left

See you next week for another snooze fest unless it rains.

Could be worse - could be two Mercedes driving off into the distance from lap one. At least we have two teams in it and the possibility of a challenge from Perez towards the end.

TedStriker

'Lewis, this is all about who makes it to the end'. What a sad state for F1.

TedStriker

7 cars in a row getting DRS on pit straight. Not often you see that.

TedStriker

In Baku 2016 when Rosberg was Hamilton's team mate, LH made a mistake with the steering wheel settings and the team weren't allowed to tell him how to fix it. He finished well down the field then - and lost more points to Rosberg than the difference between winning and losing the WDC that year. If h...

TedStriker

So sounds like a car settings issue with Hamilton?

Sounds reasonable, let's be honest he doesn't make mistakes like that in normal driving.

Verstappen got away with it. Life still has a way to balance things out.

Not really - he lost 25 points through no fault of his own. Lewis lost 18 through a mistake.

World class...

This at least allowed me to visit the little boy's room as my expected one-stop strategy was looking unmanageable with 5 laps to go. I'm getting older.....

Don't want to push it too far and have a blowout!

TedStriker

Lewis could well come out of this with 26 points if his damaged front wing was holding him back. Max will be inconsolable if he does.
