Is Vettel preserving his tyres or falling back?

Schermerhorn

This looks beautiful for Vettel.

The gap to Latifi is increasing so he is getting a buffer there and the Aston is a quicker race car than the Alpine.

Schermerhorn

Max is struggling badly. Lewis wont win this. This is a total lottery.

Schermerhorn

Wow...could be a disaster for Lewis!

This is insane LOLLLL

Schermerhorn

Max should go for the slicks. There is a very clear dry line now. There's very little to lose.

Schermerhorn

You've got to laugh. Bottas his usual wet weather self. This isn't going to improve relations between Mercedes and Red Bull. Given past precedents (Grosjean Spa 2012) that could be a ban for Bottas. Grosjean had a full season of 1st lap lunacy in 2012. I lost count how many accidents he caused befo...

Bottas the ultimate team player LOLLL

I didnt see that race. Can you please inform me of how it went. Sure. Here are the race highlights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuLdJLB6sBo Oh. That spanish gp where verstappen was in the lead for most of the gp and Hamilton's fantastic 2 stop strategy to win the race. Hamilton was way out in f...

kravitz doing the gridwalk is almost unbearable. He constantly wastes time by asking himself really stupid questions in a strange sort of mutter, then answering a few seconds later. Just what is the point? Brundle is far better at this. Brundle has 25 years of experience though so it's his bread-an...

Red Bull have put a new PU in Verstappen's car but it won't result in a penalty. Interesting - did they find something yesterday on the Silverstone engine that they didn't like the look of? Statement from Honda: A statement from Honda said: “During post-qualifying checks we noticed something on Max...

If Leclerc qualifies well he could end up being a road block I feel. That Ferrari may suffer from tyre deg issues and not be as fast as their 1 lap pace suggests.

Schermerhorn

What are the chances Verstappen's engine is totally knackered and he'll need a replacement? Surely the team have checked it all over at the factory?

Schermerhorn

60% chance of rain.

Hopefully we get a spicy rain.

Out of interest if your top 3 are Leclarc, Max, Lewis. Whose the 4th ahead of Norris. I don't really see anyone else you can currently put there. Obviously Alonso is unknown but I don't think he could currently be placed above Norris. Charles still makes too many mistakes for most to consider him a...

Not yet.

He is starting to get some momentum behind him but Lando does look quicker for now.

Maybe Danny has just peaked already and hit his psychological wall that he can't overcome?

Schermerhorn

Well, as long as he has an obedient team mate (funny how no one cries about team orders when Lewis is the beneficiary) and as long as he keeps punting Max off then 100+ is easily achieveable. Yeah well you know were is the crying when Perez jumps out of the way of Max which is twice thus far this s...

If Verstappen has the faster car and collisions are 50/50 (unless pre-planned) then Hamilton does not have the luxury of hoping for a DNF every time he shunts into Verstappen. If Hamilton gets a DNF while being the #2 fastest car then his WDC chance is getting slimmer by the race. Who is pre-planni...

After today, Verstappen no longer has that mental comfort that Hamilton will do the jumping out the way.... I agree, it'll be very interesting to see what happens next time they're wheel to wheel.

Haha. Massive Verstappen error for not realising he's leading the championship and shouldn't be putting himself in that position surely? This was literally what people would criticise Lewis for. Not having the calculating brain for knowing when to take the risk. Verstappen was ahead. Lewis took the...

Verstappen has spent the season relying on Hamilton getting out of his way. No way that's on Lewis. Verstappen was over the top twice with his defending before that even happened. It's a racing incident. Verstappen can't turn in just expecting Lewis to vanish. You're in the minority here it seems. ...

This is a pretty awful year by hamilton's standards.

Verstappen is living inside Hamilton's head rent free.

A lot of Silverstone cheered that like they did Schumacher in 1998.

You saw scummy behaviour from Brits last week with the football.....

Schermerhorn

Dirty from Lewis....give it up man, pick the right time for your battles.

Schermerhorn

From watching all their toe-to-toe battles in 2021, it seems that

Verstappen is not afraid of Hamilton

Verstappen has his number and has more authority

Hamilton does not have the same confidence as Verstappen

Schermerhorn

Yes I agree, Norris is probably faster than Bottas at the moment. Hamiltons race pace was superior to Rosberg in 2014 though and 2016. Nico did have one of his best ever races against Hamilton there in 2015 though. Overtaking him on lap 1 and then building a 3-4 second lead to which Hamilton had no...

If the cars are able to follow each other much closer then surely that means we're going to see more rear end shunts as well as overtaking?

Schermerhorn

I like it, even the Indy style front wing.

The "skirts" on the side look like they may generate some serious downforce too.

Overall 8/10 from me.

Let's hope these things allow close F1 racing.

Vettel's had 2 years like that, 2014 and last year and I'm not sure that presently going life and death with Stroll is exactly steering him out of that dip. I would say that elite drivers simply don't have that complete loss of performance, Vettel and Ricciardo are not elite, Ricciardo has another ...

Ricciardo is having a career and confidence ending year unfortunately..The only one in recent memory is Vettel's 2014 season but that was after a run of 4 consecutive WDCs... Ricciardo will be in the washed up category of drivers soon if this doesn't get better..Unfortunately it reminds me a bit of...
