Re: 2019 Canadian Grand Prix Race Thread
Bottom line is had Seb not lost control he wouldn't have got a penalty. Consider If you divebomb down the inside into a corner and understeer into someone you can't use the defence that once you had locked up you couldn't avoid a crash - you get yourself out of control, you pay the consequences.

Re: 2019 Canadian Grand Prix Race Thread
Hamilton: "I forced him into error". What a joke. Is that not what happened? Lewis should not rub salt into it, specially as Vettel showed class in asking crowd not to boo him In fact, it was Lewis who asked for penalty. And then, when Vettel approaches and asks, "where should I go", Lewis just ans...

I urge all of you that can drive to take your car out tomorrow, find a bit of grass and see what braking from about 60mph is like.

Are you saying he still would have done it if Lewis not right behind him? It was pretty much the textbook example of forcing an error!Lt. Drebin wrote:Hamilton: "I forced him into error". What a joke.

Re: 2019 Canadian Grand Prix Race Thread
Good if vettel if he just leaves. I agree. He must be pretty embarrassed with once again making an unforced error when he gets near Lewis. Hamilton seems pretty chilled after all those errors into the hairpin, maybe he has a thicker skin though? Locking up going into a hairpin when a second or so b...

Re: 2019 Canadian Grand Prix Race Thread
Lewis' engineer sums it up perfectly. Forced the error and took the win. You can't expect to lose control, re-enter dangerously and not have some kind of consequence.

Think that was a touch naughty, he could have kept left if he really wanted to. That said, I wouldn't want to be the steward handing out a penalty there. You have no idea if he could stay left.

I think this second place will hit Botttas hard. Hopefully his new found confidence will keep him focused but he will be frustrated both by the start and the apparent lack of pace compared to Lewis.
