I wonder if this is to further placate a star driver or the first signs of them clearing house from that era.

Thoughts. 1) if the extreme wet is so bad, scrap it and make the intermediate the extreme wet and make a new in-between tyre. Having a lesser wet window is better for me rather than the farce of having an unusable tyre 2) 10 seconds I thought was harsh, I would argue that the late call of safety car...

I’ve just done a driving job down to Milton Keynes and it was, with only slight exaggeration day after tomorrow rain. Al between rugby and Milton Keynes Added thunder and lightening too. Weirdly it’s oddly calm now and sunny but obviously ground is soaked. Gray skies in every direction apart from th...

Yes I totally agree, i don't know when it became common place to simply hand out the 5 second penalty instead of telling the driver to swap positions which is much much more palettable as a viewer, it used to be such that a driver would have to return the position even if the other driver had falle...

This is ridiculous now, they’ve enabled this bad driving behaviour it should be a stop and go at this point.

I suppose toto is in an no win situation, either he celebrates and gives Fred more motivation for Lewis for next season or he doesn’t and get questions

I’ve seen that too, believed to be McLaren & Mercedes after Redbull complained about flexi wings( oh the irony ) No the rumour my friend has heard is that it was taken off several races ago, which happens to coincide with the dib in form. My friend is a bit of a conspiracy nut so take with a pinch ...

I don’t understand why mclaren were so pre-occupied with Hamilton, when they pitted lando they still had 26 seconds lead over Hamilton.

When Oscar came in they still had 5 seconds over Hamilton from Norris.

McLaren panicked, or worse they didn’t trust lando to make a clean overtake

BTW, Alonso did let Stroll get through for 10th place.
Why? What for?

A literal point on the day and a figurative point for when fernando needs something.

Seriously though what is with Norris, token effort Vs Max for the lead, and F1 online defence Vs Hamilton. Surely you would defend 1st as hard you can, and not compromise yourself when losing 2nd. he always races lewis hard but not max(will always wave max by) They're all mates while Hamilton is th...

Max drove over the inside of the la source curb and didn’t have to correct his steering. What the hell?

Good_Year

Did max have even a sniff of oversteer in that entire sprint?

FIA says 1200 reports of cars leaving the track ..they have more to check Have advised adding Gravel for Turn 10 for future races

1200!

So every lap there was 16.9 (ok let’s say 16 as a lower value) infringements. 16! Every lap!

Different speeds, different situations, different types of corners, Hamilton was trying to pass Alonso, Verstappen was trying to pass Hamilton, at least both times Hamilton was attempting to stay on the track as was Alonso, that had no concern for Verstappen like in Brazil last year, it didn't pass...

Silverstone was the turning point for Lewis. Granted after that he had to yield in the last few races due to the points situation. This analysis is spot on, Max throws it up the inside with too much speed. Lewis these days is simply giving Max the same treatment back (uncompromising) Good on him ht...

Hamilton made the exact same mistake as he did at Spa earlier this year with Alonso. When a car has over half an overlap on you and is on the inside, you can’t just expect them to disappear when you turn into the corner without leaving a car’s width there. If Hamilton had done what Verstappen did a...

Good_Year

The only thing I was surprised about was it wasn't a stop and go penalty, as even in real time ignoring the rubbish Brundle was saying it was obvious it was a deliberate accident in which Max knew he was never making the corner but was ready to crash which he later admitted post race. Don't know wh...

This is how far verstappen ended up off track even with using a 850kg (798 plus fuel estimate) Mercedes used as a bumper to arrest some momentum (image screenshotted from official f1 Sao paolo highlights)

Even if Verstappen thinks that Perez deliberately crashed in Monaco qualifying - does that really change anything regarding Brazil? Regarding AD '21, Barcelona '22, and all the other instances where Perez helped Verstappen and loyally followed TOs? In my opinion, No, Perez should still have lots of...

Good_Year

Chandhok showed that Max was never making that corner and even with Lewis acting as a brake he didn't make it. Given the 'safe and controlled' clause as well as the obvious that a move must be completed on track it clearly lands on Max. This post should be the end of the discussion. The fact Max en...

I'll start by saying that I came into this with the assumption that he had not done it deliberately, largely because it seemed a pointless thing to do merely to secure third position. I still believe that second part. However, I've now come to the conclusion that -- unfathomably enough -- Perez did...

I’ve watched In my opinion he feathered (not full beans) the throttle too soon. Hence there’s a bit of a noise but nothing like a full application. Next sainz steams into his car, why would someone endanger themselves when they weren’t even on pole. 3rd I believe that they asked “did you accelerate...

Did anyone catch the max radio then? Eldest wanted a cuddle and talk to me.

:!: It is hard to say how much this is down to the driver or tyres, but look - Albon is now catching Bottas and he's 11th. He's on softs, Bottas is on hards. Based on what most drivers have said, are the hards just terrible? I feel Bottas is about to finish out of the points. Hards are bad. Teams u...

I find you very amusing RBI. You're clearly trying to do good PR work for Redbull. A $7m fine is absolutely nothing to pay for 2 WDC's and A WCC. Every team in the paddock will comfortably pay that without a care in the world. Glad you're amused. I'm not trying to do anything for RB. I legit had no...

How the hell red bull managed to keep the mediums switched on for 20 laps bewilders me. The same medium tyres that couldn't last 12 laps at the start. Even fuel corrected. It should of been 16 laps at best with how hard Verstappen was pushing. Even the hards went off Lewis car after 21 laps. With M...

That is poor from Bottas. Not like him to make errors like that.
Has Bottas ever crashed out on his own before?

Does Germany '19 count?

Bloody hell that safety car was fast.
