RANT TIME... What's with all these procedure breaches. Red bull should be fined heavily for Sergio Perez parents being on the track. Thus in Parc ferme. And the stewards and or whoever allowed it in the fia should be sacked. I've seen tracks lose there calendar slot for less. Anything could have ha...

BlackMist

Possibly the most overrated driver I've ever seen. People accept their cheating. I don't understand why. But Max will never be mentioned in the same breath as Schumacher and Lewis. Simply because it's dominant machinary plus cheating. Schumacher, of course, famous for never having a dominant car or...

BlackMist

I also have to say that while I liked the track when it came back, I now find it more and more soulless and uninspiring each year. The slow sections ,on particular the stadium look awful with these cars they are too long and heavy. If you have a nice tyre Delta like DR today you can pass otherwise ...

Nick de Vris, just shows how far off Latifi is.

They did hesitate with the safety car decision again, enough time for max and Charles to pass the Pit so at least 17 seconds. I don’t think it’s easy as “oh car stopped let’s throw out the SC”. I’m sure there is an assessment done of what is needed to clear the car. If DR’s car was not stuck in gea...

Horner very critical of the decision to finish under the SC. He has too doesnt he? I wouldnt listen to his view on it as an impartial voice Absolutely no team boss fighting for a win can give you an impartial view. Being a hypocrite is an important trait of any team boss of a world championship win...

FOM cutting out the crowd noise is embarrassing.

Russell's interview on Sky then about the regulation changes in Spa was very good, I'm sure he said if you put what Redbull and Ferrari have got onto the Mercedes it would make them slower. do you mean make Mercedes faster? I'm sure he said slower but could be wrong. He did say he thinks it will br...

Nope slower. Russel said it would make them slower.

Uff Ferrari. My god. What was that? This is unacceptable at this level. Right off the bat. Why are Ferrari allowing Sainz and Leclerc to race? This is bonkers. This is Vettel and Raikonen in 2018 again. Vettel towing Raikonen to pole in Monza. Forget about the championship. Ferrari may struggle to ...

https://i.imgur.com/hWeVDG2.png Source - Imgur Very interesting stat. Charles was just as fast if not faster than Max before he crashed. Mercedes 0.4sec per lap slower is probably right. Perez needs to up his game. There was no reason for him not to get podium when both Ferrari driver had trouble. ...

BlackMist

So if Mercedes are getting podiums despite being unable to fathom out what is happening with the car does that mean with ride hide changes there might be a further improvement at the Belgian Grand Prix, on 26-28 August? They were supposed to be quick here though, their race pace in practice was up ...

BlackMist

Really gutted for Leclerc. I don’t know if he could have passed Max on track as both were very similar in pace but we will never know. 10 races to go with Max 63 points ahead. Ferrari needs to be perfect going forward from a driver, reliability and strategy perspective. Looks like a tall order for ...

A lot of people seem to suggest that Merc are comfortable and ahead but I just can't see where they're getting this from. Especially Sainz who said we can see that they're doing on the GPS. At the moment as an outsider the Ferrari's seem to be the most comfortable team. They are slow on the straigh...

If anyone wants to see Ted's notebook. Quite interesting.... -DMJCr_j4z8 I agree the bit about the Merc was interesting, I don't have Sky so Ted Kravitz is new to me, what an aggravating, ill informed and arrogant individual. He is now one very big reason why I would never get Sky. You've obviously...

BlackMist

I think that Merc were snookered in pit strategy at the end. RB was simply going opposite to what Merc would do, so Merc chose track position, on the basis that either the race would end under the SC (on the basis that it would go in the lap after the lapped cars unlap themsevles) or there would be...

BlackMist

Masi sequence: 1). Message all drivers that lapped cars will not be released, As a result Lewis stays out, Max pits. 2). U-turn that decision once Max is back on track and the pack has collected. Lapped cars will be released. 3). Assume divine powers to release only some of the 8 lapped cars. A new...

BlackMist

I honestly don't think anything is going to happen with Merc's appeal. Water under the bridge. That being said, I am at least expecting Masi to be put on notice for next season. Botching safety cars two races in a row is quite something...lol. That and Max's moves will be heavily watched and the to...

BlackMist

I still think it's going to be Max. Lewis has had an amazing couple of races and looks like the fastest car but he has to convert that into two wins and there's so much that can go wrong for him. I think the Mercs has enough of a pace advantage to close this out. Max has never been here before and ...

BlackMist

Re Gasly letting Max by. Gasly was never racing Max so why waste time trying to keep a superior car behind? Last race in Brazil, didn’t Lando say a full day before the race that he is not going to fight Hamilton. McLaren uses Mercedes engines? Team orders maybe? Too much tin foil guys. Oh, Ocon also...

BlackMist

I think the championship is done. RB has no answers for Mercs pace. Mercs are super fast on the straights and in the corners as well.

It will go to Abu Dhabi for sure but expecting Hamilton to dominate at Saudi Arabia again.

BlackMist

I think this race is going to have a massive massive say on who wins the championships. Mercs has found some pace to which the Red Bulls have no answers to.

Lewis looks set to take a huge chunk out of Max’s lead today.

BlackMist

Max will easily beat Bottas, don't feel great with Gasly and Alonso on the softs behind Hamilton but I didn't trust Max either who get the feeling would just sling it up the inside. Yeah I’m a little worried about the start. I can see an incident at turn one somewhere in the field The soft tires wi...

BlackMist

I’m thinking do FP1 and FP2 as normal on Friday.

Saturday do qualifying for the Sprint Race and a couple of hours later do the Sprint Race.

Sunday do the GP.

BlackMist

I think max for WDC but merc WCC Max is a beast at setup (more so than anyone imo) has been on it every weekend and has arguably the better car package and probably has equal ish pace as hamilton anyway. Depends how he reacts to silverstone, can see him slipping on a banana trying to take lewis out...

BlackMist

I think it will make Max more aggressive. If yesterday’s situation played after the coming together, I’m fairly certain Max squeezes Hamilton into the wall for sure. Well, Hamilton is plenty aggressive when racing wheel to wheel. Remember Hamilton deliberately pushing Rosberg off track at COTA in th...

BlackMist

Imo one of two things will happen 1. RB will fill his head with nonsense which will make him feel wronged. He will implode and either crash off trying to hit back or do something too obviously intentional he will get a ban 2. Quietly RB will address his role in the incident including other incident...

BlackMist

You're basically admitting that Max squeezed Hamilton going into a 180mph corner. What? The rules allow Max to take that line. Leaving a gap isn't squeezing. The line he took didn't leave Hamilton enough room otherwise there wouldn't have been a crash and I was responding to a post that Max chose t...

BlackMist

Max turned right whilst Lewis was alongside him. He had plenty of room to take a slightly wider line but he chose to turn more sharply, which caused the incident. Max has only himself to blame Nope. Nothing in the rules says he has to leave Hamilton the whole track. He is allowed to try and make it...

BlackMist

It wasnt just Hamilton's home race but I also think he knows it's getting close to the season being over. Max has the faster car, healthy championship lead and everything to lose while Hamilton had nothing to lose. Max should have played the percentages but went aggressive and this time is backfire...

BlackMist

From watching all their toe-to-toe battles in 2021, it seems that Verstappen is not afraid of Hamilton Verstappen has his number and has more authority Hamilton does not have the same confidence as Verstappen I agree completely. I dont think either have the absolute confidence they have tenths over...

BlackMist

Here’s my take on the incident between Hamilton and Verstapen. 1) Lewis/Merc was obviously hurt by the humbling they took in Austria and the way the sprint race went added more insult to injury 2) Max defended his position aggressively as well on Saturday and going into turn 9 Lewis was on the outs...

Just rewatching with commentary as watched without earlier in the club house. Interesting to see none of the ex drivers commentating thought it was worthy of a penalty. Let alone an incident worthy of being compared to Schumacher in '94 DC, Weber, Button, Brundle all seemed to think the penalty was...
