So Hamilton gets a drive through penalty for speeding in the pitlane while KMag gets penalised less for breaking the rules 3 times, 3 useless 10 second penalties which he doesn't care about. He was given a black and white warning flag which normally means stop it or next time you get a black flag, ...

KMag very honest he drove like that deliberately to protect his teammate, he played the game maybe a game instructed by his team. Second penalty should be a drive through you shouldn't be allowed to continually ruin other driver(s) races. KMag also drove off the track came back on and hit Hamilton'...

In such situations where the driver has a 10 second penalty & is being reckless, he should by default get a drive through as the next penalty because it's injustice to those who're behind & are at risk of getting their car damaged in order to overtake a reckless driver.

Exactly.

Brundle talking about hard racing defending KMag…..you what, driving opponents off the road isn’t hard racing it’s just wrong Brundle is a paid up LM apologist, all the Sky team are really, they fully support the sprints which are a nonsense and dilute the main events both qualifying and the GP its...

At this point id give kevin a stop and go
Apply a penalty for his real race.

Or give him race ban, 2nd time this season already that he's intentionally been trying to collide with his rivals because he is too slow

Yes it was disgusting how he drove against Tsunoda as well.

Perhaps we now see what Mercedes really thinks of Russell. Shock horror maybe he's not as good as Hamilton after all.

We have no idea what the protocols are for each team. A mistake was made on a dry track. Every other team, every other driver got it right. I have no idea how to divvy up credit/blame in those scenarios. Looking at radio transcripts some teams made the call after getting driver input, some drivers ...

That is a new concept to me. What does core performance actually mean? Hamilton is underperforming but his core performance is okay? Yes, that makes no sense at all and sounds a lot like the Bottas excuses that have been doing the rounds on this forum. It means what he is capable of, you think on h...

Verstappen in 2022 had a comparable win percentage to Hamilton in 2020, with a car that was probably weaker than 2019 Mercedes. Hamilton won 11 races out of 21 in a season where Bottas comfortably finished second in the standings. His car was likely stronger than the RB18. There was only 17 races i...

Well, perhaps maybe Mercedes (or rather Ratcliffe) thinks there’s more to Verstappen than just the driving. Maybe that's what you think aside from driving a car very fast. Maybe it is what Mercedes is thinking, because otherwise the amount makes very little sense. They're a sinking ship and they're...

Stonking lap from Ricciardo. He’s back to his pre-McLaren best.

I wasn't able to watch sprint race qualifying. Was this a case of Norris cracking again when a chance of a great quali result was on the table?

Most seemed to struggle with the soft tyres, probably with the preparation of them.

Somewhere in the world Mike Elliot is probably the only guy enjoying watching F1 at the moment. You don't think that the cars have moved on, there is thought given to persisting with the concept one year to long has put the team back 1 or 2 years, anyone else at the front running the concept?

But that is all on Hamilton himself, isn’t it? Nobody in the team is forcing Hamilton to go with a suboptimal setup. Damage falls mostly in the same category? Rather then looking for a silver bullet, it looks to me like Hamilton has fallen into the trap that it has been mostly him who delivered the...

Hamilton won 22 races out of 37 race finishes from 2019-2020 despite driving by far the best car in this time period, and having a midfield driver as his teammate. He also had bulletproof reliability and his car never failed in even one qualifying session to compromise his weekend. In these perfect...

My estimation for Verstappen is that he probably wins about 30 races out of 37 if he was driving the 2019/2020 Mercedes cars instead of Hamilton. 16 wins out of 21 in the W10 14 wins out of 16 starts in the W11 Based on what we’ve seen from Verstappen in the best car, this seems quite reasonable an...

You've shared excuses from post race interviews in Hungary. I've shared actual video and radio footage from the race.

This is a major movement (or no movement) in the background scene of the driver market for '25. Sainz has supposedly rejected (indirectly) Audi's offer as he hasn't made the decision in the timeline that Audi had given. Soon Audi is expected to announce the second driver. Sainz has taken a gamble i...

Interest from other teams because it's being rumoured that Horner wants to sign Sainz, this in case Verstappen leaves in the next year or two now that he's been able to fashion himself an escape clause.
