Re: My god I love Le Mans

Why are they flashing the lights when driving behind someone? Are they trying to signal the car in front to move over? Aren't they supposed to just make a move for the overtake?

Re: Verstappen the new crash kid?

Max seemed already agitated in today's press conference. Seeing his comments, I think Red Bull has to do something since the situation doesn't seem to be fixing itself. I mean, I do acknowledge the huge talent the guy has, but I've never seen anyone in this sport to get that much leeway simply just ...

Re: Monkey off the Back

I think this was one of the most undeserving win of the recent years. Nothing against the driver, it's just that anyone from Vettel, Bottas, Raikkonen or Perez drove a much better race than Hamilton this time. I think Lewis also knows this so I wouldn't say the monkey is completely out of the back,...

Basically they set a precedent, that you can knock another car out and get away with just a 10 second penalty. Such scenario could come in handy many times, especially when a championship is on the line later on.

Re: Bottas Jumping The Start

It's within the margin that the sensors allow so it's fine. You can call it a jump start if you want to, but since anybody allowed to move within that margin, he obviously did nothing wrong. He was able to take the maximum advantage of the start and I think should be applauded for that.
