Russell much faster than Hamilton is abit of a stretch. I expect the race would have come back to Hamilton in the second half of the race if it wasn't for the safety car.

F1_Ernie

Wouldn't be suprised if Hamilton has to pit again

SC was just too early for Hamilton, Max easy win then.

F1_Ernie

SC for that is a joke, one of the reasons I am going of F1.

All the replies Fiki but we all know your opinion would be completely different if the drivers are reversed

F1_Ernie

I'm watching the race now - did Russell just burn up his tyres keeping up with Hamilton in the first stint? Or did they get ruined by following Hamilton? I thought if Russell was genuinely faster than Hamilton he would have been closer than 0.9s behind. My personal opinion is Russell burnt through ...

Liberty and Skysports will be working hard this season to try and get the fans interested in this season. I missed all of practice, quali and only watched the race due to waiting for the football, if football was on at the same time then there was only one winner. I know some fans of the sport love ...

Largely in agreement with this. The only item I'll argue is that the rules did seem to have room for (creative) interpretation - which is why I think this argument over breaking them goes on. Regardless of that I still think that, as weak-willed several may think he was, he was thrown under the bus...

With the distance of a 13 months to reflect on things here's what I believe happened. Pre the Abu Dhabi the high ups at F1 and the FIA agreed that basically under no circumstances would an opportunity be missed for a grandstand finale if the one presented itself. The race would not be allowed to fi...

F1_Ernie

I'm sure this has been done to death, but didn't Hamilton let Verstappen overtake him at that corner on purpose with the intention of re-passing down the longer back straight? A move which, incidentally, might have worked if Verstappen hadn't visibly weaved all down the straight? I've always been m...

Had Hamilton raced as he did on the final lap we saw, would their irritation have centred on his failure to cover the inside on the corner on which Verstappen got past?

Hamilton going over the sausage kerb did not cause the retirement, Mercedes have confirmed this. Hamilton beat Russell in quali and would have most likely in the race even without the 5 second penalty so on that basis I picked Hamilton. Mercedes have also confirmed Hamiltons deg was good on the hards

Now that we have seen Verstappen in a few situations I think I have a clearer picture. It's not that he can't fight clean (he can), and not that he doesn't have racecraft (he has). It's that he makes decisions about whether to play fair, dependent on the opposition and the circumstances. with Hamil...

we return to the scene of the crime, i wonder what memories it will give us this time around if any Well, Sky and the rest of the media won't let it go, that's for sure, they'll keep reminding us! I wouldn't be surprised if its the other way round, sky listen to the big bosses above them and they w...

Max backs out if it's any other driver, Max was going in to quick and was always going to hit Hamilton.

F1_Ernie

I'm not sure why he acts like this with Lewis. It's what happened at Copse in 2021. Verstappen was expecting Hamilton to roll over as he had on every other occasion that year. When he didn't and hit the barrier and saw Hamilton celebrating vigorously after winning that was it. Bullies hate a taste ...

I don't watch the skysports build up show anymore, due to the coverage not being very good. Has anyone seen the Hamilton and Glock piece re-watching 2008?, asked if 2008 was similar to 2021 and Hamilton replied no as 2021 was manipulated by someone.

Rumours are it's to do with Perez deliberately crashing in Monaco.

SC is taking forever

Come on, here we go

They stuffed that chance right up.

We need a SC

Russell's restart was rubbish, he did put Hamilton into the hands of Max.

Should be an easy win for Russell, shame for the race.

I did vote for lenient, but there are a couple of items that I am chewing over. Before I go over those, I will state that overspending is overspending, regardless of what it is on (unless, of course, it is exempt). So the it's-only-in-catering argument holds no water for me; that simply frees up mo...

Once Max led after turn 3 the race was done, the Redbull was the quicker car. Max was told to quicken up on the mediums to get the tyres in the right window.

F1_Ernie

The last sector needs changing for sure, that's been obvious for years. Similar to Spain aswell, the last sector ruins racing, simple changes to circuits can improve racing.

Before anyone gets at Mercedes for using hards, do you really think Lewis had the pace to beat the Max on like-for-like tyres? I didn't.

I thought Mercedes would go long on the mediums and then the softs, maybe hope for a VSC or SC.

Why would you not use Russell to back up Max, very weird.
Red Bull are too fast in a straight line.

You can still hold him up for the rest of the lap.
