Ocon's engineer told him not to worry because he was faster and he would overtake Perez anyway. That's why I believe it was stupid to try to do it there. The only thing that is stupid is victim blaming. Ocon had a better exit out of La Source, he got alongside, are you going to finally explain to m...

That move attempt was dumb knowing their history. Something Hamilton or Vettel would have never made for example. Wait, what? "We've had issues so I will know fully expect him to go against the regulations and put me into the wall"? On that account Ocon should never attempt to pass - after all, if ...

Good one OP.

Now there is a sensible option that I can vote.

Both have an attitude problem.

These young kids are all looking for the "spectacular" overtake to then watch it on youtube or be voted as Driver of the Day.
Ocon would have easily passed Perez in the next straight but went for the overtake of the day award.

Pullrod

It was stupid trying to pass there. Ocon had better tyre and would have passed Perez in the next straight anyway(something even his engineer told him via radio). Ocon's move was a result of anger and him seeking revenge for whatever reason. Look at his tweet below with a winking face emoji at the e...

Dear oh dear... Sorry people, but I see a lot, but A LOT, of blind commenting around here. Just going by what the general perception or the assumptions of the moment dictate. Interestingly, stewards saw nothing to punish. And I myself would have brought Ocon for a spanking. This is the image I was ...

And to the above: 1. Hamilton may feel the team decision was unfair. But that's just an opinion and obviously you can have different ones on that. But it does not change the fact that Hamilton disobeyed the TO, impeded Alonso's pole run first, and by his wrongdoing started the mess, in which course...

So the team was penalised because.... I don't see that explanation in what you have written? Could you please spell it out to me? You know very well why the team was penalised. And in the case you can not get it from my "confused" posts, you can find relevant articles on google. It was not for the ...

So the poll gives us no option on Ocon. Very fair. I am very worried about these new guys. Ocon, Verstappen, Kvyat, sometimes Sainz. It seems that they can not comprehend the potential danger of some of their antics. Ocon and Verstappen have been involved too many times now in high speed accidents t...

Wasnt Vettel just 2-3 seconds behind Hamilton over 31 laps into the race when the SC got deployed, at a track where Mercedes was expected to be faster anyways? Ham was just in cruise control, just look at the pace of the cars after the SC, you got two drivers with 6 WDC's between them so clearly th...

Nothing spectacular, but a good race non the less. Hamilton defended wisely the start and SC restart by moving to the inside way earlier before the turn, just to cancel the slipstream Vettel was getting. Ferrari, very good race pace, just lacking a bit of top speed on the strait... but overall, pro...

Bahrain 2014... remember that race where Rosberg had the faster compound but failed to win the race after the SC restart.

Crazy Stuff!! Ferrari was probably the faster car today to stay that close for ALL the race. Completely disagree. Without the SC Vettel would not even have had a prayer. Not even once(I watched the race glued on the live timing app) was VET's gap to HAM more than 2 seconds. That's crazy stuff and y...

It was his decision. Alonso was not only stripped from Pole but he was given a 5 places grid penalty for a reason. Had he done nothing wrong, he would have kept 2°. The smart thing to do would have been to carry on and complain at the end of qualifying, but he decided he knew better. Don't believe ...

He has been involved in too many stuff but you always imply he is innocent. I am not sure what you trying to say.

What a load of rubbish.. you actually believe it?? [ Ron Dennis didn't want to lose the constructor points that weekend hence he blamed the team. And he thought this stance would be helpful in case of appeal to the Stewards decision (read below, and check the date of the Autosport article you have ...

No it is not the same. HAM was not deliberately slowing down to save his tyres and he was in no way destroying ROS pace. HAM in Hungary this year managed to get within 1,5 second from BOT with no tyre advantage(unlike ROS) and the cars this year are just impossible to follow. It would have been eas...

Pullrod

So, he has another year. I like the guy but really don't like the thought of another year of Ferrari preventing their drivers from racing. We don't need that at the front. If Mercedes manage to get a WDC this year (with either driver) then they will have really achieved something. Hungary was painf...

^ Intriguing. I was always under the impression that Alonso's delay exiting the pit box was his decision and that he simply calculated how much time he could leave it for him to do a 'flying' warm-up lap to hit the start / finish ahead of the end of the session. Did not consider it to be more than ...

Pullrod

You mean like in Hungary 2014, when Rosberg was complaining that Hamilton was holding him up? Both in a Mercedes? No. Hamilton told to the team that he doesn't plan to lose time(like Bottas in Hungary who was trying to be smart when he lost 2/3 seconds on the straight when he let Hamilton fly by). ...

I'm rather surprised anyone can rate Sainz in the top 10 really. He's been responsible for more drivers retiring than any other driver this year. Both of his incidents looked extremely silly and worse than his team mates recent 2. I also think there was evidence that they were worse as he himself h...

Unfortunately it seems Max has looked at Senna and MS and decided to follow them in stamping his authority on the track now while he's in a position to do so. It's a smart policy actually, he knows he's not going to win the WDC so he can afford to crash a few times now - in the process establishing...

Drivers don't build anything . They can give feedback on what's been brought to track sure but we know Alonso is good at that from comments by engineers he's worked with. What drivers need is their engineers to be the ones to come up with something the others don't have. He had that at Renault with...
