Hamilton’s mistake in Austria was more costly than you make it sound. He was on the same winning strategy as Verstappen and 7 seconds further up the road. He ended up 5th because of that mistake and threw away at least a podium even if you account for Mercedes’ issues there. Likewise, Lewis started...

Hamilton has made two serious mistakes this year. Austria and Germany. Verstappen has only made one. What serious mistake did he make in Austria? Damaging his front wing running wide on the kerb. So we're now drawing an equivalence between a mistake that forces you to change your nose and a mistake...

No mate. I can't just let that slide when the video is right there. Max is NOT alongside Kimi until after the cars are on the brakes. He is behind him and he tries an extremely optimistic lunge. He was never making that corner unless Kimi backed off completely and just allowed Max to overtake him. ...

What serious mistake did he make in Austria?

Why don't YOU check the replay? I've posted it below. Go to the 44 second mark of the video. It's clear that Max enters the braking zone behind Raikkonen completely and even slightly behind the Racing Point that is next to him. He just brakes much later than anyone else while approaching the corner...

Nope. I said Kimi would have been better off had he left more space (which is obvious due to the fact that the collision ruined his race). Max would also have been better off had he not tried to lunge there from so far back. You are only looking at this from one side apparently, though I cannot und...

What? This is literally the first comment I have posted about this incident and I said that both drivers got it wrong and it should be chalked up as a racing incident. You take that as me always wanting to blame Max? Honestly the things people say in here are amazing. As far as what "we want to see...

sandman1347

Also, why is no one mentioning about Lewis crowding Seb off the track at the same corner? It looked naughty what he did, just so that he could have great acceleration down the hill, and is completely different to the line he took at turn 1 in Baku 2019 with Bottas, where he delayed getting on the p...

I think they both got it wrong there. Kimi should probably have expected that someone might be in his blind spot there and left a little room by default. Max had a bad start and I think he was being overly aggressive there trying to make up for it. He should have known that was likely to happen. Ca...

I think the Ferrari was the quickest car this weekend. Hamilton made the difference. I think Ferrari was quicker in qualifying but Mercedes were quicker in the race. What we saw in qualifying and the race exactly mirrored practice. It's also logical, Ferrari gains loads on the straights in qualifyi...

I hate to say it but that looked pretty poor from Albon. Yes, he's probably a bit better than Gasly but he needs to be a significant improvement over him. I can't see Red Bull challenging for second in the Constructors Cup. It's not Albon's job to finish 6th like someone above said, his job is to b...

sandman1347

I absolutely believe that Merc had the faster race car overall today. Two things saved Leclerc - the Safety Car and the back-up job by Vettel And that's not to say Hamilton or Bottas could do anything about it. Factors outside of their control meant Leclerc beat them to the line. They both had the ...

After Spa Vettel leads Leclerc 169 - 157, or 12 points. This is right where most of the poll has the season going. OTOH young Charles seems to have the momentum with 8 races to go in the season. I believe it will be very close but it could easily be a coin flip as to who wins this teammate battle. ...

My complaint is that I appear to watch the same coverage as you, year on year I expect, and yet do not hear what you do. The fact that you have pluralised commentator means you are basically labelling them all as the same. You didn't specifically target one or two in your earlier posts. And don't t...

What commentary do you normally listen to and what was said today, specifically? Hamilton gets lauded on a regular basis on Sky and Channel 4 in the UK. (And so he should.) No that's actually not accurate. Martin Brundle actually does not like Hamilton and generally likes to frame things as being "...

This line of thinking carries with it the fundamental assumption that Leclerc has comparable race pace to Hamilton (something which I see no evidence to support). The only driver on the grid who seems to be in Hamilton's league when it comes to sustaining an incredibly fast race pace is Max. Charle...

sandman1347

I expect a similar race at Monza with a Ferrari front row lockout and Merc with the race pace advantage with a tight race to the finish. I think it's an excuse to say that Merc have better race pace just because Hamilton has better race pace when Bottas is nowhere near that and not able to match Le...

The question I ask is; would Gasly have been able to start at the back and finish P5? My answer is undoubtedly "no". Albon performed well. he was under control and not overly aggressive yet he got the job done and beat everyone he could possibly be expected to beat. Excellent job IMO.

Great performance by Leclerc and by Ferrari as well. I think they played the strategy to perfection. Using Vettel to block Hamilton for several laps is really what made the difference today. Had they pit Vettel when he initially requested it; Lewis would likely have caught Charles with several laps ...

sandman1347

Ever since France, Leclerc has either been quick or lightning in qualifying. I heard they're able to use that much more power over 1 lap than their main rivals? Does he have more power over one lap than Vettel? It's five times in a row he's out-qualified Vettel now, and this was the largest margin ...

I don't like to see drivers lose their lives but I hope this doesn't generate some knee-jerk neutering of Eau Rouge or Raidillon

sandman1347

Great lap from Charles. Let's see if he can finally bring home the win. Ferrari looks to be in a class of their own when it comes to straight line performance. If they can just get their act together they have a chance at 2 wins on the trot.

sandman1347

So that's it for Hulk then. Like Perez, he will never get that top drive. I think a move to Haas is pretty much inevitable now and then it's just a matter of how long he can hang on in F1. He clearly is a talented driver but he just never managed to make something truly special happen in the races. ...

sandman1347

I think that having a really large number of races reduces the chances of having a really close championship battle.

sandman1347

Its the logical result. Bottas is a good No. 2 driver - and not going to challenge Hamilton. It is only a good decision if Merc produces another fairly dominant car imo. You’d have to think both Ferrari and Redbull will be stronger next year. You have Verstappen, Vettel, Leclerc in those cars. Bott...

The 2017 Merc was much better than the Ferrari, all things (including reliability) taken into account. 2018 was as much about HAM not making mistakes as it was about VET throwing it away (I distinctly remember HAM being salty at Silverstone after getting beaten, suggesting that Raikkonen had delibe...

I think it's important to note that nearly all of Hamilton's WDC's have come in the turbo-hybrid era. In this era all you really have to do to win the WDC is beat the guy in the other Merc. How many of the current grid would beat Bottas in the same car? 40-70% of them? Are they All-Time Greats as w...

Honestly it's time for Rossi to hang up the helmet. He's very far from his best these days. Inconsistent and simply not very quick. Even if Yamaha were to produce the best bike, I would bet against Rossi to win the title. He just doesn't have it anymore and it's time for him to accept that. I also t...

Nasty crash at the start there but another great finish. I'm happy to see Rins get back on track and what a clever pass at teh end. Marquez will undoubtedly win the championship this year but all these close losses must annoy him.

sandman1347

What's clear is that Hamilton is still performing to a consistently high level and Max has emerged as really the only other driver on the grid to perform to a similar level on a consistent basis. Vettel still has his occasional nightmare and Charles has been wildly inconsistent. Daniel has also had ...
