Re: 2017 Italian Grand Prix Race Thread

Finding F1 stats online is usually quite easy, but weirdly finding a list of the fastest F1 races in history is proving really difficult - this was 70 seconds slower than the record, but the Mercs were coasting for the final 2/3rds of the race - I'm curious where it slots in (is it in the top 10?),...

Re: 2017 Italian Grand Prix Race Thread

So Lauda is aware of the significance of a three point lead in light of Hungary. Isn't it a net gain of six points and isn't that compared with an initial loss of six to Valtteri?
[edit] I mean, Hamilton should be six points ahead now and instead it's only three.

Vettel needed to find a way up the inside of Hamilton after Eau Rouge on the restart. There's no point taking it down the outside there. One chance, not taken. Big disappointment.

I'd like to bet that Massa in a Ferrari could have got Hamilton a penalty today. I will never understand how anyone could have thought that Alonso's Monza penalty was fair or just but if it was a penalty in the eyes of the FIA, surely they must have thought Hamilton affected Grosjean's lap today?
