Did Bottas get a penalty for hitting Danny Ric?

AravJ

Poor Bottas being called a wing man.

I think they had the worst car at Hockenheim. It's not so worrying that the car is slow as it is that they seem completely unable to develop it. You're not wrong, some of the stuff coming out of them is so baffling - it's depressing as a longtime Macca fan. Alonso saying that Stoff has a car with l...

There is always the "what" and the "how". When someone achieves something great, people often make the mistake of thinking the "how" was either correct or necessary. Often this isn't the case. Of course you need some semblance of ruthlessness in there, but there are plenty of examples of doing the ...

Is pirelli bringing the thinner Merc friendly tyres or normal tyres?
They should add another spec to that graphic.lol

Toro Rosso Haas Redbull. I just like them because they have a fresh, fun approach to F1. Would throw Force India there to but I cannot make too many moves. I hope Redbull take me back after deserting for Haas them when they supported me at Toro Rosso as a young driver. Unfortunately there is no othe...

How vocal were they when Vettel got hit by Vestappen (in China I think) ? If they were not as Vocal then they are just biased and should not be taken seriously. But consistency in penalty's are a joke and somewhat devalues the sport. Did you watch it? Watch what? the race - yes Susie and DC - no, t...

Between Max claiming they are short 70-80HP on Mercedes and Ferrari on one hand, and Gasly saying how much time they lose on the straights on the other hand, I'm not exactly feeling confident for RBR for next year. I wouldn't put the boot into Honda just yet. Gasly was saying the car was faster in ...

The mind boggles why Merc continually refuse to pit when the SC/VSC is called. Today, at the very very least, they should have split the strategies. The only explanation I can think of is that they were willing to crucify Bottas to allow Hamilton finish as close to Vettel as possible I doubt that's...

AravJ

Another poor call from Merc not to pit Bottas. They could have had 2nd and 3rd at worst in this race.
Or did they sacrifice Bottas
Either way they can't complain on losing championship points to Ferrari

Despite all the evidence of performance with Renault PU and now the senior overhaul some people will still believe last year's car was could fight top three. People just don't want to admit being wrong. Even Zak is half and half. He said"Did we have a better chassis? It would be hard to say definit...

It's impossible to know how many came because of him or the air time he guarantees. McLaren have 6 other new sponsors since splitting with Honda, Petrobras,Dell,FXPro,CNBC,Airgain and Gandy's. All,some or none could've signed because of Alonso or the attention he brings. Agree. I would say "most li...

Mclaren does not need Alonso, should Alonso leave Mclaren will continue function and at a high level, this was said at Ferrari as well, but lo and behold Ferrari went up a gear. Should Mclaren say bye to Alonso today his F1 career is done. Ferrari got Vettel to replace Alonso. Another top tier driv...

About time, he should pay back all his bonus and salary back for wrongly pointing the finger to Honda only and losing all that sponsorship money. He has only taken mclaren backwards. Now hopefully someone will put things right. But I fear systemic issues take time and pain among staff to resolve. I...

It's really a British feed that others buy and broadcast internationally. The changes needed to address this are for the others who buy it to make their own feeds. For those who say the Brits can keep C4 as their local feed it's a joke, not all races in full and this deal is up for renewing soon wh...

When were they rooting for other drivers to hold Vettel up? I think there's confirmation bias going on here, in that some people have already decided that the British coverage is going to be pro-Hamilton and anti-Ferrari and any statements that appear to follow this narrative become irrefutable evi...

The chocolate gate.

Mclaren keep on proving their car was always midfield in previous years, maybe even worse than midfield but helped by works packaging and money

So what are we supposed to take from RBR is not a works team. Is it going to be take what you get like Renault did or does it mean RBR and STR is going to get the same intensity of support as a works team would (like STR are getting now) . Meaning neither are customers either, in the common f1 defin...

I think the engine change was more harmful to their chassis than they'd like to admit or had anticipated. The Honda gave great packaging advantages,their suspension was praised and a fair amount of drag comes from poor internal packaging which wasn't an issue with Honda as the car was built for it....

There have been strong hints from Aston Martin that they will become a supplier in 2021 and the obvious team for them to supply is Red Bull. Will be interesting to see how long the deal is guaranteed for but it wouldn't surprise me if it was pretty short. Either that or filled with performance clau...

hence why they should have pitted Hamilton a second time for ultras. He would have finished 6th. Yup, None of the top 6 behind Vettel could gamble 2nd stop. Mainly because they had seen what Ferrari can do on old tyres. Nobody would have risked falling behind Kimi after seeing Vettel punch in fast ...

It’s easy to forget that in 2013 and 2014 McLaren were already a midfield team before the switch to Honda engines. Ever since Tim Goss took over their cars have been underwhelming. Their budget is also only about half of what Mercedes and Ferrari spend. They are not a top team. They gave up a big c...

Standout is Lewis and Alonso. Both on ultrasofts.
Lewis engine on seventh race wow, Merc still holds a massive engine advantage.
Alonso and even Stoffel always looked good in fp1 and fp2 so good signs coming from mclaren

AravJ

You mean 10kw(13bhp) from the bigger exhaust manifold? Still no reason why McLaren wouldn't allow them to make a similar change if Honda told them what it would bring. Doing that might have been tricky though admittedly as Honda called it an "unexpected" gain so if you can't tell your chassis maker...

Make tires such that they don't make marbles all over the place. Having a tight track is one thing, not being able to go offline to overtake makes the situation worse. This applies to all tracks I guess.

The worst part for me was everything I clicked said it was not available in my region (UK) but no guidance if it was ever going to be available or not.

The way Red Bull threw Renault under the bus even when winning titles, I fear for Honda partnering with Red Bull. It will be Mclaren all over again. 2019 would definitely be a year too early IMO. Mclaren was much worse toward honda than RBR ever was to renualt. Difference is honda did not fight bac...

Were is the option of FIA at fault? Max's move was nowhere near as bad as the ones he did in the past with Kimi but went unpunished. If it was acceptable in the past it is acceptable now. Dan had the opportunity to still go on the outside. I got a bit distracted from the race when max came into the ...
