I don’t understand how this could result in him getting the championship? You wouldn’t cancel the whole race, most easiest would be disqualification for Alonso, which would result in Hamilton increasing his lead in the end.

But I’m guessing this is just a money grab

The Telegraph (UK) are reporting that Jos has said that Max will leave Red Bull if Horner stays. Also that Jos met with Toto over the weekend. I see that as a pure bluff, he let the media see him talking with Wolff, he thinks his son can go up against the Red Bull in a Mercedes. If they’ve started ...

The Telegraph (UK) are reporting that Jos has said that Max will leave Red Bull if Horner stays. Also that Jos met with Toto over the weekend.

Question marks growing on how the texts get leaked to the Dutch press from someone inside the team, that's a big problem as well It kind of proves that someone senior in Redbull wants him gone.

I’m wondering why everyone seems to think it was harsh for Perez to get the penalty, it was a slam dunk for me. Looking at his onboard he’s turning in, sees Norris on the outside and clumsily tries to adjust to force him wide. In doing so he loses control and hits Norris, simply a driver out drivin...

Would need to see a replay but I thought Hamilton was ahead of Norris and alongside Russell.
Yep having seen a replay, I think he should be able to keep the position ahead of Norris

Norris , king of the radio overtake

Aerospace Quality Engineer here so some aerodynamics knowledge.

I think it could be significant because although Singapore is a street track, it does have some fast straights.

I think Red Bull are going to go back to Adrian Neweys drawing board

I don't think so, apparently he's the most popular driver with the crowd.

Must be my connection then, thought I heard some when he stepped up.

How short and selective memories can be. Bested in one race by Leclerc and suddenly he's can't race. Verstappen has been one of the best wheel to wheel racers since he came into the sport and will continue to be so. This narrative that he will struggle if the FIA stop drivers forcing eachother off ...

DeepPyro69

Leclerc did say he braked early on purpose as the DRS detection line is at the end of the pit straight, this would have made Verstappens closing speed look quicker. Also I have read Leclerc was having battery problems at that part of the race which makes his defence even more impressive, Max trying...

DeepPyro69

I am surprised how he did not do his “we are crashing or I’m taking the lead/keeping the lead” but I guess it is the first race. This allowed Leclerc to completely out fox him wheel to wheel. He just needed to do the pass on the second DRS. The 3 wheel to wheel battles and the SC restart were surpr...

At first so was prepared to accept it was a mistake under pressure, but no he just did exactly what RB told him to.

Going back to a question I asked earlier if there's any legal eagles in the house or if anyone knows one. Even if Masi acted within the rules under 15.3, would Merc not have a valid, legal argument from a common practice angle as Masis' actions were unprecedented in the history of safety cars in F1...

Mercedes’ legal case is going to be about a million words long and completely watertight isn’t it, otherwise we’d have heard some leaks or whatever but complete silence from them suggests they’re not taking this without a massive fight.

After I took a few days off away from F1 I was ready to say that Mercedes should back down after Sundays appeal otherwise they risk damaging the reputation of the sport. However what has changed my mind is the fact that the reputation has already been damaged by the FIA. I am the only F1 fan at my p...

Yeah any car lapped car must now up lap themselves if that's the procedure you go for. You can't pick and choose which of those cars do and don't unlap themselves. Heck why not release the two behind Verstappen and leave the 5 him front of him there. Absurd anyone could possilbly conceive this was ...

As I saw it Merc couldn't pit Lewis as he passed before Sc was called is that correct

Yes, which raises questions on who decided the timing, it was obviously a safety car but they waited until Hamilton was to close to be called in

Farce…. Absolute farce

Checo is indeed a legend, because he and Lewis just showed Max how to pass, repass and pass again, without forcing anyone off track. That's proper racing.

Exactly

I'm sick of Verstappen's kamikaze moves, they're not the greatest demonstration of skill.

He didn’t start to turn properly until he was past the apex!

There wasn’t the data available then as there is now.

Now it’s easy to see if someone brake tests their opponent.

Also in those days, you didn’t take the risks some drivers do now. You wouldn’t live long

Verstappen spent the last race trying to engineer a collision that took both out whilst looking like racing incident. Lewis managed to avoid until the brake test. Verstappen’s only mistake was making it too obvious and not taking Hamilton out. He then couldn’t risk another incident without putting a...

DeepPyro69

If Max was trying to cross this line then he would have driven into Hamilton for the incident Masi told Mercedes that Hamilton was borderline for receiving the black and white flag. No because he knew if he did that everyone would know it was deliberate after the brake check and he would have been ...

I've always seen a Schumacher like approach to Max's driving, I'm just hoping we don't see a Schumacher like late title deciding incident.

Nailed it

DeepPyro69

No,

Track was not suitable, too thin to allow proper racing

And the fact that one driver wasn’t racing, he was playing destruction derby and only pure luck stopped his opponent being taken out.

Verstappen was obliviously trying to take Hamilton out without looking deliberate.

DeepPyro69

Oh I fully agree Schumacher was a bit of prick. But Verstappen shouldn't be compared to either driver yet. The only comparison is they're allowed to get away with things they shouldn't. Max should have been DSQ'd today. The correct driver won today and I think everyone now thinks Lewis should take ...

DeepPyro69

The final time that Verstappen let Lewis back through, was that a miss understanding? He didn’t need to do that did he? I think he was trying to undo the 5 second penalty, but it was way to late. Even if Verstappen wins next week I won’t recognise him as a champion after todays antics, disgusting. D

DeepPyro69

Hamilton's poorest car finished 3rd in the WCC and did have legitimate race winning pace for half a season. He's had some cars that aren't WDC contenders but "stinkers" is a bit of a stretch. Not that he shouldn't be on this list. "[Hamilton] was able to win with a dominant car, with a good car lik...

The difference between a very good driver and a great driver is very small. The list of recent greats I think is small, but when coupled with a good car are near unstoppable, as we’ve see this season.
