https://www.racefans.net/2021/03/28/track-limits-policy-did-not-change-during-race-despite-hamiltons-warning-says-masi/ More on the track limits. Apparently every car but one did the right thing... Questionable how they manage it. I’m very confused about this whole track limits thing (which is prob...

That slow stop hurt Mercedes

F1_Ernie

is hamilton really this bad at not believing certain rules exist? Not believing in T4 track limits and claiming he's been doing the same all race. If hamilton has a weakness, it probably is related to misunderstanding some of the rules. FIA annouced track limits wouldnt be enforced during the race,...

Odd to pit Bottas...
Obviously a disaster with what happened but would love to know the logic. Trying to push Red Bull into pitting?

I think that was the case otherwise Bottas would have got the undercut.

2 v 1 for Mercedes so lets hope they go aggressive on strategy. I don't believe they have anywhere near the pace to trouble Max. It's interesting now the dust as settled that it's been revealed that the new floor regs have cost the low rake cars 1 second in lap time compared to the high rake cars, ...

2 v 1 for Mercedes, worse possible thing for the race is Bottas coming out 2nd after lap 1.

:?: Perez would have been further behind but Verstappen never completed a 2nd run. Maybe if he'd some a second run on mediums. Well thats the point, if Verstappen completed a 2nd run on mediums the gap would have been bigger. How can you know Perez did identical laps on his mediums. Ok its no big d...

Maybe it would have been better if Russell had been in the Merc, Hamilton's not looked on it at in the race, he did admit today that he felt better, I would question if he's fully fit. What more could Hamilton do? Not race... I think the only reason he was back in the car is he did not like someone...

Mercedes just pit one car and get RB thinking, do something.
Hamilton seeking to force the issue?

I can dream Vowles does something

F1_Ernie

Is Bottas holding Hamilton up? It's pretty unusual for Bottas to be faster so you'd guess so. If Hamilton was being held up, you would have thought he would drive at least a bit closer rather than 3 - 4 seconds. Surely around 2 seconds would do no harm to his tyres? Mercedes just don't look quick t...

Please go back to Brazil for the final race

:frown: Lewis doesn't look very punchy today. I don't think Hamilton has overtaken a leading car in open racing here. Only off the start in 2014. It's a combination of a track where it's tough to overtake and he's still recovering from COVID-19. Not just overtaking, it seems like he is just driving...

That's just my view on who posted the video as it makes no sense, I think its BS.

F1_Ernie

Not sure why a woman would find it funny posting a video of her being touched on the bloke who did the touching’s SM. Personally think that’s all BS. Funny - No Good for business - Definitely I’m not saying that was definitely the case but it’s perfectly plausible that she had her own motives for p...

Will be a boring 1 stopper on a poor track which is difficult to overtake. I still believe Mercedes should win if all 3 cars are close together in a 2v1 scenario.

F1_Ernie

I would look at how much Vettel earns and his performances the last 4 years than worry about Hamilton.

F1_Ernie

Sigh ... Why can’t we have good things? HAM/RUS for 2021 please. Why the hell Toto gave Bottas a seat for 2021 so early I don’t know. George was immense today. So funny the commentators were going on about George possibly fluffing the start and the “experienced” drivers like Leclerc and Verstappen ...

F1_Ernie

Bottas tyres are well old

F1_Ernie

What a complete mess, looks like Vowles has taken over the pit crew.

F1_Ernie

Hamilton generally always had better race pace, tyre wear and fuel management over Rosberg and Bottas. There’s an obsession with Bottas being able to race Hamilton but it’s not exactly something Rosberg could do either, how many times did Rosberg overtake Hamilton to beat him in 14-16? Rosberg was ...

F1_Ernie

So is (was) this Bottas' last chance for the WDC? Or will Mercedes just create another behemoth and destroy RBR again, giving Bottas another slim chance at a title? Imagine that the Silverstone and Eifel GP fortunes were reversed. Bottas would now be right in the hunt for a Championship despite hav...

FIA make up a whole new starting order lol

F1_Ernie

Grosjean moved a sharp right instead of backing off, Chandhok was just trying to find a good reason for it because it was a wierd move.

F1_Ernie

Watching the race in real time I thought there was something wrong with the car but it was Grosjean

F1_Ernie

If it’s original grid then that’s a joke

F1_Ernie

Wow what a drive, 1 stop on those tyres. Congrats Lewis

F1_Ernie

Still 20 laps left

F1_Ernie

Mercedes waiting for sticks but Hamilton reckons it won't get that far.

F1_Ernie

Vettel doing his new team a big favour

F1_Ernie

Vettel driving well

F1_Ernie

Should be a comfortable win for Verstappen

F1_Ernie

Wait until the track is much quicker, great work lol
