P2 looks gone for Hamilton now.

He should be more worried about Seb right now

Bottas down in 13th just shows how much of a difference Hamilton is making!

He's that far down because he gave Hamilton the tow in Q3. Psychologically that will take the fight out of you.

Large piece of debris flew up into the trees and didn't come back down - souvenir anyone?

How is Stroll still keeping the gap at 10 seconds behind hamilton. Both Stroll and Vettel are looking good.

Front runners are coasting, plenty left if they need it.

TedStriker

I'm sorry, but even if Bottas was off his marks in the pit, that's still no reason to blame him in any way. The man in the gun knows to shuffle along to get it lined up. We see this quite often. The point is that while they can shuffle along a bit to get lined up just fine, at Monaco especially the...

TedStriker

The hating on Monaco is unnecessary imo. Qualifying firstly, here, is better than a lot of races on other tracks, and offers one of the most intense moments of the season. The weekend itself has so much value to it, and has great marketing value and history to the sport. Also, theres like 23 races ...

TedStriker

Obviously no SC/VSC but was there even a yellow flag? Dull as dishwater but Lewis can't complain too much - started 7th, finished 7th. Could have been better with a better pitstop strategy, could have been worse if not for retirements. I feel he'll sail past any non merceredes cars next week on the ...

TedStriker

Just think, Lewis could have been 9th if Valtteri and Charles were still in it.

I see a Tennis player gets to wave the chequered flag, something you and I could only dream of doing. I'm sure she's a huge F1 fan too!!!!!
Hehe.

As far as I know she's chilled with Lewis a few times and that's about it.

Doesn't look like she took any time to practice either!

TedStriker

You tell 'em AJ. The monarch is an outdated and wasteful PR excercise. Like the Kardashians but with much more crimes against humanity. I'd put the Kardashians far higher in terms of societal damage. Can't be bothered getting into history, because that's what it is, but the Kardashians are currentl...

TedStriker

The cars are just so close this year that every little mistake makes the difference, Hamilton made a big mistake in Imola and got very lucky. Verstappen could have had 3 poles but for driving errors, Hamilton and Verstappen both made errors in the Portugal race. You can see why Verstappen was gutte...

TedStriker

F1 is hugely based in the UK in terms of teams and manufacturers. It is also reliant on Sky for broadcasting. Both are in the UK. Are people seriously objecting to a disruption purely to watch care drive round in circles? One is a sport the other is national institution, I struggle to think of anot...

https://www.racefans.net/2021/03/28/track-limits-policy-did-not-change-during-race-despite-hamiltons-warning-says-masi/ More on the track limits. Apparently every car but one did the right thing... Questionable how they manage it. I’m very confused about this whole track limits thing (which is prob...

TedStriker

@ Hogweed Do you reckon Hamilton's utter mastery of F1 rules won him the race today? According to them, he successfully abused typical track limits which presumably gained him crucial seconds of lap time throughout the race distance. Verstappen, ignorant to the rules, was not taking advantage of th...

TedStriker

hehe verstappen would rather have had a 5 second penalty and thought he could make that up had he stayed ahead. Which is incredibly unsporting of him. And Hamilton abusing track limits all race isn't? They were all doing it as they knew they would get away with doing this on laps where passing wasn...

Can't blame Lewis for doing it if it's not being enforced.

TedStriker

Must be a bit gutting for Max that Lewis goes off the track for most of the race then as soon as Red Bull mention it to Max, race control impose track limits eventually costing him the race!

Ferrari power plant not able to pass the McLaren or Mercedes even with DRS

Time for a reset already? https://whendidmazepinspin.com/

Looks like we may have to reset the countdown!

As a long term Hamilton fan, I find myself in the odd situation of wishing he wouldn't be racing.

What could have been a spectacular end to the season is now likely to be a predictable 1-2-3. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong!

I bet it will hurt the viewer figures too.

TedStriker

Was he taken out though? As in crashed into? I thought he drove wide to avoid the crash and drove himself to the wall. It looked to me like he thought there was run off not gravel there. Ah, could be, yeah Looking from above, the many of the run off areas seem to be beige in colour. At that corner ...

TedStriker

I felt sorry for Vertsappen. Probably for the first time of his life he was really cautious and backed out of the three wide situation. Then got taken out. Was he taken out though? As in crashed into? I thought he drove wide to avoid the crash and drove himself to the wall. It looked to me like he ...

TedStriker

In a situation like this, does he get Lewis' car, or do they have a few spares lying around?

TedStriker

I should imagine Lewis is hoping he won't beat Valtteri by much!

TedStriker

It is absolutely true that you are far more likely to be killed by Police in the US if you are black as opposed to white. However the statistic that is very rarely quoted alongside that is that in any given interaction with the Police, you are twice a likely to be killed if you are white as opposed...

TedStriker

To answer that question, first I'd need to be shown evidence of the existence of a patriarchal society. And as for men and women being equal in every sense, only a fool would suggest that. What society needs to accept is that there are differences between men and women and that's fine! There are pos...

TedStriker

To have 'not being white' as a requirement for filling a position is manifestly racist. And I say that as a 'person of colour'. I 100% support eliminating all race/gender/age/disability etc barriers to anyone who wants to enter and progress through the sport, however beyond that things should be lef...

TedStriker

I find it so sad that the people on this forum think they are "helping" by suggesting how Lewis should deal with this issue, because clearly it's not at all ironic that a load of white people are telling him how to accept something that they have absolutely no clue about, and from the comments, hav...

TedStriker

I really can't see any of these gestures by sportsmen and other celebrities achieving anything, for the fundamental reason that I don't think awareness is the issue. Whilst America clearly has racial issues, I cannot agree with the idea that they exist because people are either unaware of them, or ...

TedStriker

LOL Good luck with that. The WORLD STAGE today is such that Sports ARE VEHICLES FOR MAKING POLITICAL STATEMENTS and sorry to burst your bubble, but there is no way ANYONE has the testicular fortitude to tell a Black man in Lewis Hamilton to not voice his opinion on political issues, especially ones...

TedStriker

Thought this deserved a separate thread. Not sure I understand this. Perez has been solid for years, and is to be replaced by Vettel who really hasn't shone for a while now. An expensive choice which I can't really see the benefit in. Maybe I'll be proved wrong, but always interesting nonetheless to...

TedStriker

Maybe rather artificial but the sport does have to retain/attract casual fans. Lewis cruising to a managed win each week can't be good for business long term.

TedStriker

I don't have a great deal to add to this as most angles have been covered, but from my personal perspective as a 'person of colour'*, I believe the way it has been handled has created more racists and racism on both sides of the argument. The media has happily stoked the divisions too with their rep...

Turns out the Bubba Wallace Noose had been in the garage since 2019 and completely unrelated to the driver and racism :lol: I think the world is going mad. I think if you look at the photo of the rope, you can see how it looks more like a noose than a pull cord. I'm glad the authorities took this a...

Vettel supposedly turned down a McLaren offer. It's Mercedes or retirement for him allegedly. Mercedes were never going to take him, even if Hamilton had for some reason left they'd have chosen someone else - someone younger and cheaper. And let's be honest everyone would have wanted the seat. For ...

TedStriker

What about Bottas to Ferrari? A proven track record of being a solid number 2 and might actually be better than Sainz if that’s the route they want to go down. Well it's a weird season anyway - how about Bottas and Vettel swap places right now and we get the showdown we've wanted for however many r...
