How was the merc the better car in 2021 when it started the season behind, was far off the pace in 2 austria races and mexico and was unchanged since silverstone? While redbull had a torrid development that went all the way to the ultimate round. Its not mercedes fault that redbull fudged the develo...

Not sure if Lewis will do it this year. Seems all the good luck he had in 2020 is evening out with some pretty bad luck. But Merc should be strong in Mexico. I believe their concept will benefit from the high altitude. Less drag and they have plenty of downforce. I was quite surprised how strong the...

Absolutely terrible decision from alonso. I dont even feel bad for him anymore. Too many bad career choices to count. Better to be out of the sport than to be at AM imo. What a joke.

kleefton

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 ...

kleefton

Kinda off topic here but Leclerc vs sainz is starting to look like last year when sainz was imo the quicker driver in the last few races. Leclerc better watch his back. Sainz is still threatening to take this team away from him imho.

kleefton

Really surprised by Mercs pace. I thought if they had any hope of winning this season it would be this weekend. Both of their drivers see this as their favourite track. Merc were never going to be good here. They don't like slow corners and the track isn't totally smooth. Merc like medium speed cor...

What an underwhelming destination this would be for an alonso or ricciardo. This team has lost its appeal. They were once known for punching above their weight but now the Strolls have completely ruined it. I hope a young driver gets the seat. Do not want to see riccardo or alonso in that seat. Woul...

I dont think that leclercs seemingly frequent offs can be attributed to a lack of mental toughness. I think there is something with his driving style that causes those errors. I always fear that he is going to go off for some rrason even though hes been way better than i thiught this year so far. I ...

If one were to apply the logic that Hamilton drove great because he kept a superior car at bay then shouldn't Verstappen get credit for easily gapping a driver that could handle a battle with the very same car for most of the race? Hamilton overtook a superior car, while Verstappen was superior to ...

kleefton

Hamilton sainz alonso for me. Hamilton fending off perez and then pulling away from a faster car shows how fast he was. Sainz drove a mature race, stayed out of trouble and used the car he had to come through the field unscathed. He deserved at least p3 imo. Alonso for just bossing the midfield arou...

Sporting Regulations 56.7 say: "When the clerk of the course decides it is safe to end the VSC procedure the message “VSC ENDING” will be sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system and, at any time between 10 and 15 seconds later, “VSC” on the FIA light panels will change to green an...

Max is way too smart and mature for Leclerc to come back from this I hope thats sarcasm. I can totally see a silverstone type thing happening You would need 2 or 3 silvestone type things to happen. He is miles ahead. This thing is over. Max is never going to make a big mistake. The only hope Ferrar...

kleefton

I thought we were waiting for a Merc 1-2, what happened? Lol That car is just too problematic. There is very little bouncing this weekend but they are quite slow. You cant put lipstick on a pig as they say. Maxs long run was quite ominous. Still expecting him to win easily although he might get outq...

kleefton

This track is being touted as Mercedes' strongest track yet of the 2022 season... I dont know why tbh. They were outqualified and beaten here last year fair and square even with Max’s error on lap 1. This year maybe their good tyre wear will be a factor in the race as the final sector is brutal on ...

kleefton

Well it seems I was wrong totally wrong about this, the FIA are insisting the controls be applied much to the annoyance of Red Bull and Ferrari. Good on them. It's ridiculous that it's been allowed to continue this long -- and I don't care what any resident dinosaur in the paddock has to say about ...

What a terrible year its been for crypto. First the terra luna collapse and then a few days ago celsius filing for chapter 11. I remember last year i was looking to invest with celsius but they are not allowed to operate in my jurisdiction. What i thought was a nuisance became a blessing. There are ...

Leclerc and Mick for me. Leclerc is proving to be probably the best driver this year. He has just been so unlucky. Mick was very feisty and very quick. He seems to be improving all the time. Good on him. Hamilton drove well but made an error to let Mick by and that cost him a lot of time imo so I d...

kleefton

I thought Russells penalty was a little unlucky, especially on lap 1. Not really a great deal he can do to avoid that, other than brake earlier but, critically.... he was a bit ahead when he started braking, being in Sainz dirty air, he was always going to brake less effectively and would understee...

But your avatar lends such a cool, nonchalant, easy-going vibe. I just can't imagine you ever actually being angry.

Sorry, man.

Pink panther was da bomb!

There could be more to come from merc tomorrow as their pace today wasnt great compared to the leaders.

yeah i found the Leclerc moaning odd. hamilton was not in his way whatsoever

kleefton

I guess that Mercedes is really hard to drive

kleefton

Redbull were way too quick for merc here jast year. The higher altitude suits their car and aero philosophy and now that their straight line speed has improved i dont see them being challenged unless ferrari surprises. Im expecting merc to take a step back from silverstone. So probably another verst...

Great race, but we've sadly seen the return of pushing driving off track to retain or take positions. Not good. Hamilton got fastest lap. Sorry, but one of the most underserved race winners i've seen in a long time. Disagree. Yes, he probably may not have deserved today's win. But he does deserve t...

Sainz will be the undeserved winner. Can't believe how Ferrari screwed Leclerc.
Peter Windsor has been saying that Sainz is preferred politically at Ferrari. I think today is evidence of that.

Ferrari gifting the race to Hamilton, love it good old Ferrari

I can't believe Ferrari hasn't swapped position. Hamilton is coming behind them and is a threat to win it.

Gasly should have filed behind george. no way to go three wide in that corner. george perhaps should have seen gasly and not moved left. racing incident though.

Sorry it was Tsunoda. I’ve seen it again, almost identical to Singapore 2017. Except this was all Russell rather than no one really at fault in 2017.

Not tsunoda, it was Gasly.

In a forum like this, I have to say its alarming the amount of people that are actually condoning what Piquet said and are ok with it. 100% agree. At the end of the day Piquet was being interviewed about F1. There was no reason to reference anyone’s colour or speculate about any ones sexual prefere...

Another weekend i feel Leclerc will put it on pole but max still wins the race. Its been so predictable this year. I dare the f1 gods to surprise me.

kleefton

Russell has been great this season, but can you truly judge a driver until they are in a World Championship battle? I would love to see him go wheel to wheel with Max at some point this season. A lot of this season has been - can he beat Lewis? I don’t really care about that. I think the bigger que...

It was Russell’s call as he was complaining about his rears. https://the-race.com/formula-1/mark-hughes-verstappens-masterful-defeat-of-faster-ferrari/ It's strange that Russell struggled with his hards so early in his stint, he also complained about his last set of hards, maybe his car was set up ...

kleefton

Apparently the Mercedes drivers had different rear wings, Hamilton low downforce, Russell a higher downforce, I guess in theory that would have made Russell's car better in the wet, I'm not sure what it means come race day, Hamilton's car makes it easier to overtake/defend but then has more tyre de...

kleefton

According to race sims, looks like Alonso is faster than the Mercs and Vettel is right there with them. Looks like Russell's streak is about to come to an end.

kleefton

I guess this new directive will be bad for Ferrari and Merc, and therefore basically guarantees that Redbull wins both titles. Question remains how much performance will be lost if they have to raise their cars to avoid extreme bouncing. Does that relegate the Ferrari to the midfield and does that p...

kleefton

I would have kept it more diplomatic saying something like; “keep it clean boys”. This is why I prefer the way Mercedes’ runs things. They don’t mind their drivers fighting as long as there is no contact. And checo is one of the cleanest racers out there while max has been prudent all year so there ...
