Big picture, Masi will be ok. But what happened to him is quite unreasonable. First, all of you Hamilton diehards (I like Hamilton) really need to pull your head in. The petulance is off the charts. At no point do you accept that Mercedes failed Hamilton by refusing to see what was obvious, and pit...

The FIA have been WEAK beyond belief. Incompetent. In any other sport there would be resignations. Max literally said 'how is it not wrong in Brazil but it's wrong here?' Think about that statement properly for a second. The FIA had sanctioned blatant dangerous and unsportsmanlike (cheating) driving...

Just wanna say congratulations. Wow. 92 wins. Really,wow. Congratulations champ

I think most of the mature and objective fans accept that team orders are part of the sport. IMO Lewis and Vettel should 100% be given priority by their teams as they are in a title fight. The others are not. I fully understand the last race from a team point of view (not necessarily mine, but that'...

It's a complex and grey area which unfortunately FIA don't always spell out properly in detail to audiences/fans. But when defending you should leave room. You cannot force a driver into the wall or off track. Obviously their positions relative to each other, the part of the track or even straight t...

It was a move in one direction. But more than one, and the second one was quite too far (and this is the contentious part). There was no room. Part of Lewis was already off track and that would have for sure led to a crash if he didn't back up at the last possible second. Vettel himself has admitted...

Some very shabby logic here. Lewis passed Vettel into a corner, after a very minor mistake (which Vettel admitted) gave him an opening to gain using drs. Please see again how Lewis gained on Bottas on the opening lap after a poor start and very nearly passed by Vettel. He caught up and pulled alongs...

Pretty damning evidence for Vettel, he is lucky this error has been overshadowed by the team orders Yes, its funny how the headlines change. All the talking and headlines would have been about Mercedes not using team orders and Hamilton ending up behind Vettel in P3. Then once Vettel made his error...

Ferrari were just fine in Silverstone. I think they'll be OK. If they don't perform I don't think it will be because of track layout. I think they did a lot of work on this type of scenario, which was somewhat of a weakness for them last year

DUde what you find odd is inconsequential as you're clearly not being objective. And I don't have to accept or respond to all your statements either.

I can hear the boos on the podium already That's one side of an Italian F1 crowd. For the other side just tune into the 1990 race when race leader Senna has an engine blow and spins on his own oil at Parabolica. They are all class. well, speaking of class, let's talk about the Merc team radio where...

Return of the king - not a track with the low thickness tyres, not a particular Mercedes track, even a weak Hamilton track.. yet Bottas 0.300 up on Vettel. Mercedes are back! Mercedes have had some pretty big upgrades, but tbh the cars look pretty equal apart from S3, where the Mercs are clearly fa...

^If you mean the second part, an objective look at the net effects of all those incidents will show very little exaggeration, if any at all

justmoi

Starting second, assuming there's no incident and you run to order, costs you 7 points. Crashing out on the first lap repeatedly, your car breaking down and you ripping off people's diffuser and playing Mario Kart at races costs you well over 80 points. Just saying

Just a thought... Why not Nico Hulkemberg? He's missing something? Yes, a top car? He's fast, he's German. He's steady if that's what you want. He's experienced. And in a top car could turn out to be a top contender also who knows. At the very worst he'll be a more than capable second driver. He wil...

Honestly after watching all this season, it's hard for me to say which is the better engine. It's so close, set up, amount of downforce (drag), track layout, tyre in working range, so many things influence it. I've seen races where Ferrari were faster in the so called 'power sectors', and vice versa...

This special engine mode we keep hearing about.. Let's see. Lewis Q2 1.30.977 Q3 1.30.076 Kimi Q2 1.30.926 Q3 1.30.121 So similar jump if you ask me. Point is EVERYONE turns up their engine for Q3. I could give a hundred examples of similar patterns, even including midfield teams. But go do your ow...

Not over but it is of course now not looking good.Realistically it will need Lewis to have misfortune. And that could equally happen to Seb or anyone else as well. There was also a radiator damage and likely other serious damage for Seb's engine or gearbox as well which could impact the next race. W...

dont know if this has been mentioned but ferrari seemed to be way down on power to merc at this race. it looks like the oil buring rules have hit them more as early in the season it seemed they were pretty evenly matched. that or merc have made a step. the way bottas breezed past kimi down to parab...

Looking at Ferraris last four races vs Merc, relatively lost in Silverstone (high power high downforce), lost in early practice in Hungary (low power very high downforce) then very fast in P3, quali and race, Very very strong in Spa (very high power and high downforce) race and Vettel suprisingly fa...

Alonso is a great driver, but from time to time his temper is ridiculous. How well would Hamilton or Vettel act if they were flailing around in 15th place every single race? They'd probably make sure their next career move was in their own best interest. Alonso need to do the exact opposite of what...

For me, i think the way I see it is that Fernando lost, and Vettel is now losing.

I was prepared to give it a chance, but it didn't work, did it? Surprise, surprise. A change to the format brought in at the last minute with no testing at all and no in-depth analysis of the consequences turned out to be a damp squib. It is of course the first time it has been uses and it is possi...

Watching qualifying again. Q3 Clock was already counting down on Massa while he was still on his first run! Caught out Sainz, etc

What a joke

justmoi

For those who keep asking what was wrong with the old system I'm afraid you're missing the point. This new shytstem has nothing to do with sorting out qualifying on Saturday. It was introduced to mix up the grid on Sunday by catching out hopefully big dogs (mostly read Mercedes) In other words our s...

The funny thing? We don't truly know who was faster. Would Sainz have come back on Vestapen on his second run like he did previous sessions? No idea. He had no time. Kimi? Other guys? Basically you should nail it first lap. The irony is that after pole was already decided there was lots of time left...

justmoi

And to complete the spectacle (joke) the eliminator timer is still counting down while everyone is out of the car and pole is sorted.

justmoi

Wow great qualifying format. We have teams quitting now rather than running. And someone thinks only two cars running at the end is a good idea.

That's what happens when you meddle and stifle natural competition.

WWF1 guys

Looks like a very solid lap by Vettel. Looks like Lewis nailed his lap.

And it definitely looks like Mercedes are top dogs again.
