The penalty for Lewis is fair enough anyway, though it was marginal and arguably a racing incident. No, it is not fair enough, it is just there to be politically correct as everyone feels sorry for Albon and Hamilton doesn't really care about losing a 3rd place. Penalising LH is a ''win-win'' situa...

Why the hell did this race have an SC for the Bottas blow up? It is a joke the way that race control like to manipulate races and turn dry races into wet race lotteries like this. The VSC should be used unless there is no other alternative but to SC the race as a last resort. What is the point of th...

They are showing replays of the Hamilton-Albon incident. I believe Hamilton should be given a penalty for an incident which is borderline a racing incident. I've just seen it again and not so sure now. Albon left room which Lewis went for and then turned in. I'm edging towards racing incident No, A...

Albon had a shocker today, he was probably on course to finish about 50 seconds behind Max if the race wasn't safety car'ed. Bottas was pretty bad himself but would have beaten Albon still even with worse equipment at this circuit. Leclerc too, despite a worse car and starting way behind him on the...

Red Bull seem to have a habit of coming on strong toward the end of the season. All the comments I read about on the interwebz though about 2020 being in the bag for Mercedes seem to be woefully premature to me. Redbull is always the best car in Mexico, had the fastest race car in Brazil last year....

Looking forward to it, it should be fun.

I don't think that anyone in the forum expected Albon to be equal to Max. Where you were wrong was in your assessment of how Alex was performing currently and the perspective from which you were making that assessment. Alex was doing a solid job and you were trashing him. You also made absolutely n...

Not quite by 3 tenths, but easily the fastest man today, and 4 tenths faster than his teammate around Interlagos. To me that is shocking. Teammates usually run closer at Interlagos. Congrats to Max. It is really starting to look like he will be the one to challenge Lewis and Merc next year. Vettel ...

One can make the argument that Red Bull have had the best qualifying package for the last three races. And a very strong argument for two out of the last three races. How when Albon was beaten so easily by the Ferrari's and Merc's once again? ;) Apparently Max wasn't even using their new front wing...

Norris was also on new softs Lol, nothing to see here and a complete waste of a thread. McLaren are not competitive at all and get lapped at a lot of races. They are only really doing better compared to recent years where they were shocking; they are still bad in an absolute sense even with this ye...

I think they are hoping that the budget cap will be self policing between the teams; Do you really want to be the team to be found to be cheating the new spending cap rules? There would be blue murder, and if anyone was hiding a ton of expense and suddenly started running away with every race, you ...

Sorry if this has already been covered but are they planning to remove DRS for 2021? During the interview with Ross Brawn by Martin Brundle over at Sky F1, this question was asked. Paraphrasing, his reply was that they're not removing it yet but their goal with the regulation changes is to reduce t...

One other thing he did say which caught my attention and is quite relevant to this thread was that the Verstappen camp is pushing for an experienced driver to be put alongside Max for 2020. Yeah I've heard that but I'm not sure for what exact reason, does he need a faster wing man, Gasly was useles...

For me the Japan lap was far more than I'd have expected from albon. It's not like red Bull are spoilt for choices at the moment. I'd guess what red Bull have been pleasantly surprised by how solid and consistent albon has been for a rookie. That is the side that has definitely surprised me as like...

How close would you say Ericsson was to Verstappen ? I think it would be much easier to look good against one than the other. He killed Ericsson, in some races he was way ahead of him. He did, after a slow start... Same pattern again. Ericsson out qualified him in the first 2 races and people began...

It was interesting you used Leclerc too, the same Leclerc who was 5-1 down in qualifying against Vettel and generally well beaten - bahrain aside - in there first 7-8 races of the season by Vettel. After being 5-1 down, he then went what was it? 9 straight wins against him in qualifying... Leclerc ...

And yet race threads get locked within a week or so :lol: So whats that go to do with this thread? Not a lot.

A massive congratulations to Lewis - the greatest of his generation and up there with the best of all times. I look forward to following his quest for seven (and hopefully beyond) and the wins record. This season has been one of consistently high performance, with his only off race being Austria. H...

How do you think Lewis Hamilton would do against Bottas in these 2 scenarios? 1- Both do a full pre season, clocking up 8 full race distances between them. Tweaking and developing the car over 10 days and continue with the engineers they have been working with the last couple of years. 2- Bottas dr...

Never heard of an team principal Carter so it must have been back in the day he would probably not have any insider information about Verstappen, rather just speculation to get some clicks.

I'm not sure but Sainz did apologise, this indeed seems to be the case involving the stewards, in Monza Masi spelled it out when he said that if Leclerc's car had hit Hamilton's car then they would have had to penalise Leclerc.

I don't think Paul could have been much more positive than he just was on the Sky broadcast. He was quite effusive in his sort of straightforward way. More news at 11.

Charles will win this battle as he is 19pts ahead with 2 races to go. But honestly Vettel has had some horrible races like crashing into Max in Silverstone, spin in Monza was embarrassing as well. He has had more DNF as well. I also think Vettel and Hamilton who are usually one of the best in quali...

Leclerc surpassed my expectations, though Vettel also fell below them. I expect Leclerc to continue to move onwards and upwards in 2020. He's still got plenty to work on regarding his race management. To be honest, Vettel's been performing sloppily for a number of years now, while also showing flas...

I've nothing against Albon (unlike F1 Racer, I actually kind of like him), but I find it a bit weird the standard to which he's held.

I enjoyed the race, but I do feel they should be far stricter about cars going outside the track all the time. Also didn't LH force VB off the track and it went unpunished?
