Neither driver is stupid. They both wanted to be second going over the DRS detection loop.

Yeah, I think that's what happened in all this mumble jumble.

If Max was breaking down, would Hamilton have done that? I am struggling to understand why Hamilton slowed. Its a bizarre incident. That's what I don't get. And he slowed down RIGHT behind him. Imagine going on highway and someones goes right behind you, and then complains he rans into you. How do ...

Max slowed and weaved, you can't be doing that He slowed down way before the waving. The waving probably was done to keep the heat in tyres. Look, Max was a lunatic this race. But I wouldn't jump the horse and say after all that he made that on purpose. That is too much. And the more you look at re...

I still don't understand why Lewis slowed down right behind Max, got into his gearbox. I guess people are a bit too fired up with all this, sure Max made some very stupid moves, but in this particular incident if you look with a clear mind Max slowed down for hundredths of meters then Lewis comes by...

Bacus

Verstappen had some crazy moves this race, but I'm sorry in this last one I don't know what Hamilton did, Verstappen slowed down and Ham just tucked behind him. I guess he didn't knew.

Bacus

Merc absolutely dodged a bullet there. Max was on a flier. Single lap pace was a concern for LH and thats why Horner was confident yesterday. Looks like the thought process was to get the pole and beat them with strategy. They had a one lap speedy set up from what I read. Man, this must be a gut pu...

Bacus

I think he still needed quite a good last corner, Hamilton did a very good last sector, I think he gained some 1-2 tenths (?) on Max's previous lap. It would've been probably very close. Still once he was that wide he really shouldn't try to make the corner...I wish this wouldn't be the title decide...

Bacus

I too would go against the popular opinion, I don't think the track is that bad for RB. It's a lot about downforce here - in a low wing setup. RB has the downforce rake, also the corners are pretty straightforward, short and fast (the track also looks kinda narrow), that would mean you need instant ...

Bacus

Max, as always, so quick out of the box.
He's so adaptable to conditions, tracks etc

Bacus

I'm actually leaning to think that Losail might be the best chance of last 3 races for RB to win. Did some laps on sim there are a lot of medium to fast corners in which you really need tons of downforce, you lean a lot on the car. It's all about how much they will lose on that 1km straight. The tra...

Did verstappen really need to defend T1?
No and he did that prior to running Lewis of earlier.

I think that's where Max lost the race, lost valuable 2-3 tenths there each time.

Bacus

Not sure why RBR struggled here so much. I think it is one off. Charles was easily able to keep up with Max and in qualifying as well Gasly was less than 0.2sec off Max in a RBR. But I think they got away with it. In normal circumstances it would have been an easy 1-2 for Mercedes. I think US RBR w...

Russel outqualifies Hamilton in Williams, ouch.
Merc have to take him next year.

Bacus

The Euro 2020 and the behaving here really changed my mind on (some) british sport fans.

Bacus

That line he took with Leclerc was a perfect exemplification of how he SHOULD've done in the first instance with Max. Hamilton winning this one with his main rival out of the race, due mainly to his mistake, doesn't do justice to F1. Did Hamilton take a different line or did Leclerc take a differen...

That definitely looks like Ham fault (not often is that the case I must say). IF he was fully on inside touching the kerb then we would tak about it. But he was like half of car from the apex. Plus he was never ahead of Max. Now what's understandable all this happened at some 180mph so its really ha...

Bacus

Man that was tight. Great race. In hindsight if Ham wouldn't make that mistake going wide there he probably would've keep P1. But great tyre management for him. Judging how Mercs were all over Max's gearbox in stint 2, I think they had the faster car. RB chance here was that they were faster on str...

ufff, Max needed that lap.
they all banged super laps.

Verstappen got away with it. Life still has a way to balance things out. Got away with it?? He just lost 26 points on his main championship rival - and pokerman was claiming Verstappen binned it (?!). Trust Hamilton fans to spin the narrative whatever way they can. I'm saying 'got away with it' in ...

whoa!!

I've been a Hamilton fan from 2007, but boy I'm happy for that, I'm sick of a one driver domination

(he's still the GOAT tho).

Bacus

I do hope Lewis won't win the WDC by this.

Bacus

Looking good for Red Bull 1-2.

Bacus

Looks like Ham is holding a bit the pack now.

Bacus

Mercedes is mighty on straights.

Bacus

What a young fresh podium it's setting up

Bacus

It's all gonna be about the good ol' <undercut> tomorrow.

Leclerc did a Schumacher

hamilton behind bottas in p3, q1 and q2. So he will likely beat him in Q3. Hamilton usually does recover in the final qualifying session. Was is britain last year where hamilton went onto the grass and spun earlier in qualifying, then got pole? Even if that would be the case Hamilton never looked e...

Ridiculous by Bottas does he want the Red Bull to win the race, Perez moved over for Max and then Bottas pits so what was the point and then Bottas is pitted to take the fastest lap off Hamilton. Did Bottas know he was pitting? I don't know that was merely the irony of what he did, when Perez helps...

Bacus

This track is really not needed. Drivers were finding it hard to even pass with DRS. And what benefit did turn 10 deliver? It's a very boring track. I can't remember the last time there was an exciting race here. Maybe 2016? It could all change with next gen cars (hopefully). From a driving POV the...

Bacus

Max should've pitted for the 2nd time when Lewis pitted. RB lost the race there. Yeah, the displayed estimation showed that Max would've been some 1,5 sec in front, don't understand why RBR didn't took advantage of that, as that would've been their only chance, with same tyre age they could just ab...

Bacus

Pretty nice race. Merc still had the edge here.
But it'll be very interesting at Barcelona where it's all about downforce, RedBull should be the fastest there.

Bacus

That whole left kink should be widened. For a long time cars are battling close to each other full speed in that area, being a prominent place for overtaking. Common sense to enlarge it. You can easily fit 3 cars wide and these are F1 drivers. It's not that narrow. Yes, but its about being bent, th...
