Re: Silly Season 2025

A rumour is an unofficial story or piece of news that might be true or invented, and quickly spreads from person to person. Yes, K-Mag being replaced is obviously not official. Thus, sharing the story or piece of news that you heard/read this rumor (how did it get to you?) is helpful for others in ...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?

Makes zero sense to allow Sainz to gradually close the gap down to 2.6 seconds if Verstappen had enough pace to respond. All this talk about “controlling the gap”. This only makes sense when you are 10 second ahead, not when one bad pit stop can cost you the lead. Anyway, let’s play a game of “spot...

3rd place for Chadwick in Nxt, her first podium, and Abbi Pulling wins a race in British F4 (albeit reversed grid pole).

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?

Verstappen’s laps from 4-8 are consistent while Sainz has a very slow lap 4 and then is quicker than Verstappen from laps 5 to 8, this isn’t particularly complex to understand. Verstappen's lap times were not consistent at all, on lap 6 Sainz closed the gap by 3 tenths the next lap Verstappen went ...

So you take us back to my initial question yourself; show me/us where it says that in the regulations.

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?

First of all Silverstone was red flagged because of the Zhou crash and was restarted on lap 3.

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?

Sainz’s laptime from lap 4 to 5 improved by nearly a full second, around a relatively short circuit. I don’t know what happened to him on lap 4 but a mistake is possible. From lap 5 to lap 8 he was quicker than Verstappen and lapping in the 17s while his lap 4 time was a 19.1, so clearly something ...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?

I'm not contesting what the stewards did.

They never reached the apex, by which time Verstappen's front tyres had to be alongside Hamilton...

Sainz was 3.165 seconds behind Verstappen on lap 4 and he gradually cut that gap to 2.629 seconds on lap 8 before the virtual safety car was deployed. These laps are the only time both were on the same tyres and in clean air, after that it becomes unclear as strategies diverge. Binotto and Sainz bo...
