And max has been dirty all year then. But that's what the Brits have been accusing Verstappen of anyway. Although it is nice to see you acknowledge that Hamilton was dirty - putting someone's life at risk. More hyperbole. Still waiting for your unqualified acknowledgement. I've said I may have watc...

So it is established - another massive error from Hamilton for which Verstappen pays the penalty. :thumbdown: Side note. He meant to make the error Are you suggesting it was deliberate? Because that makes it downright dirty (and dangerous, given the speed at the time of the impact). Do you always a...

A.J.

For me it’s how their battles have been playing out so far this year. It’s been Hamilton getting out of the way of max giving no room all year. This time Hamilton gets an immense tow and max does not fully block the inside line and Hamilton has to back out of that? Ridiculous. Hamilton had more tha...

10 second penalty for Hamilton. Unsure if I agree. But perhaps AJ is correct and I've watched it through the eyes of a Brit at a British GP. Makes the race a lot more interesting. Can Lewis gain it back? "perhaps"? Doesn't sound like much of an acknowledgement to me :lol: As I said I like the penal...

Jesus H. Christ fellas, it's a racing incident. You all sound like the Sky sports network numbnuts blasting "BLAME" around instead of accepting the fact that racing is a competitive sport and driver's are only human and therefore "not" always perfect. For me it’s how their battles have been playing...

A.J.

We'll see what the stewards say. And which one of us may be bias. If Hamilton gets a penalty, I would expect you to publicly acknowledge your bias... 100%. If he doesn't. You? I'd like a Hamilton penalty. It would improve the race. However it's a clear racing incident for me. And I'm watching it wi...

Verstappen has spent the season relying on Hamilton getting out of his way. No way that's on Lewis. Verstappen was over the top twice with his defending before that even happened. It's a racing incident. Verstappen can't turn in just expecting Lewis to vanish. To use your own words - please watch i...

Regardless of your opinion, Horner saying Lewis stuck a wheel up the inside is very wrong and paints a very different picture. Lewis stuck about 90% of his car up the inside but brakes slightly earlier resulting in his car dropping back. That's a very different thing to Lewis braking later and stic...

A.J.

If this was two mid field cars, you would all be saying racing incident. Max didn't give an inch, Lewis didn't either so was always going to end in an accident Precisely. But surely we also all remember how Hamilton considered Rosberg to be responsible when they had similar incidents? Precisely. On...

I can't believe this ludicrous statement has gone unchallenged. Senna was literally the benchmark for building a team before Schumacher turned up. The man was instrumental to Honda's engine development and an inspirational figure at McLaren. This is the clearest example of your pro-Schumacher blind...

Quick reminder. 6 hour ban rule is in place. Let's calm down about accusing each other about bias.

Noted, thank you for the reminder.

A.J.

I don’t think it’s possible to make the apex at Stowe if you are on the inside. Lewis had too much speed to back out of there and he was almost fully alongside. Max could have taken a wider line. Racing incident in my view but max should learn that he can’t boss his way around Lewis all year long. ...

Our faithful commentators are having a very difficult time dancing around any blame for Hamilton. At best, it is a very very close call. As I see it, other way around they'd have Max hands down due a major penalty - black flag and what not. lol. Somethings never change. Gotta love the famous "fair ...

A lot of Silverstone cheered that like they did Schumacher in 1998.

Such poor behaviour from the crowd - much like the football "fans" in the Euros

A.J.

I thought the top 3 lap of honour after the sprint was underwhelming. They were in a huge mobile billboard, with only a letterbox opening through which to wave to the fans. And why did only Max get the laurel wreath? In the old days the top 3 all got to wear them. Yes, the entire post sprint lap of...

A.J.

Indeed - someone is being found out, and it isn't looking very pretty. What sort of nonsense is this? If anything, this season elevates Verstappen's reputation to its rightful place after two seasons of excellent potential, the changing of the guard. I shouldn't be surprised in your spin on things,...

A.J.

Can Perez climb up to 4th with strategy and some overtaking? While not very easy, overtaking is possible at this track.

A.J.

Verstappen is single handedly ruining this title battle with his consistent brilliance. On the other hand, Sir Lewis has become too accustomed to having results literally fall into his lap when competing for titles against the likes of Vettel. An rival who is this relentlessly consistent is unfamil...

Covalent and A.J. currently losing 15 points for entering late, unless they elect to take their first and/or second jokers respectively. 18 after qualifying, 25 after FP2, and joker kicks in at the green light for the sprint qualifying session. Oh man, I thought I had put my predictions down for th...

A.J.

Botched start? Assumptions. Maybe he got a good start and max got a great start. Bottas got a very good start and his soft tyre advantage brought him close. Just as plausable as he botched the start. That start was nothing like his 2016 meltdowns. Did that look like a good start to you? I realize w...

Today Mercedes were clearly faster in qualifying. Still waiting for your link for the Honda engine being 0.25s a lap faster than the Mercedes engine... Well that's how Wolff and Hamilton worded it, no talk of rear wing angles only talk of the new Honda engine when they said they were losing 0.25s a...

It's you that came up with this timeline for determining when we can consider who was the best driver, me personally I would look at a driver's complete career, 5 years into a career that's going to last at least 17 years, really? Perhaps we should table this topic for ~12 years? ;) Still, the WDC ...

A.J.

Indeed, context is everything as I said. It just seemed odd that your critera for Senna and Schumacher had a 5 year span but then you ignored Max's first 5 years when he is supposed to be up there with them. No, I can't think of another driver in the last 40 years to be in the GOAT conversation in ...

A.J.

So if Red Bull is faster it is a sign that they are dominating, but if Mercedes is faster it is still advantage Red Bull.

Sometimes the logic on here astounds me.

A.J.

That was exactly my point. All the great drivers lost a season or more due to context. Senna - through reliability (1989) and nearly lost due collisions/unfocussed (1992) Schumacher - through injury/bad luck (1999) and age (2010,2011,2012) Hamilton - through collisions/unfocussed (2011) and reliabi...
