Aston Martin - oh dear

Schermerhorn

Hamilton loitering on a super fast and dangerous track. Thank goodness there was no almighty accident with Mazepin.

You really cannot just float around doing nothing on such a narrow, ultra fast track like Hamilton just did.

Plus ignoring yellow flags.

Surely a penalty is due?

Schermerhorn

Good to see Leclerc getting his obligatory session ending crash out of the way. Better here than in qualifying. For a supposedly elite driver he sure does crash alot. IMO, if he loses that Ferrari (political) support he will burn out very fast. What is going on at Ferrari is pretty interesting. It ...

Hamilton and Verstappen are truly elite...or they have a car advantage over their team mates. I lean towards them being simply better though. They're just on another level to Perez and Bottas. I expected Vettel to do the same to Stroll this year as well tbh but there isn't that much between them for...

Schermerhorn

Ric was nowhere today. I thought he would have confidence boosted after Monza but he's still struggled against Norris.

This has been very costly against Ferrari

If Verstappen aces the start then Lewis might get stuck behind and ruin his tyres in the dirty air. Red Bull might be laying some rubber on P2 grid spot overnight lol. How will rubber in P2 help him in his P7 grid slot? My comment was made yesterday. So was mine! You knew he would start P7 yesterda...

Well done Alonso.

The last time he was on the podium, Lewis was still a 2x WDC.....
One time WDC I think, but crazy it’s been so long

Sorry, my bad. You're right!

Perez's momentum and buzz from Mexico has faded already.

Schermerhorn

I still think Verstappen will win it.

Schermerhorn

Without doubt but what type of penalty? Lewis DNFd Max at Silverstone and only got 10 seconds which seemed weak given that he won the race comfortably. Maybe a grid drop for the next race? Should serve as a strong deterrent. Seems too late to change the rule book this year, maybe they can finally be...

Schermerhorn

Honestly, Interlagos felt like an absolute must win for Max. The fact that it hasn’t happened is the reason why his chances feel like mission impossible right now. Qatar is the next must win race for Max. Jeddah and Abu Dhabi are a slam dunk 25 points for Lewis with this engine. The Mercedes engine...

Schermerhorn

Add that to another Mercedes weekend where they have the best car and the most un-smooth run to victory possible. Engine penalty and a DSQ. 20th-5th. 10th-1st. A controversial penalty against them. But they still got the win On some forums, some people are arguing that the cars were even today :lol:

I don't buy that Mercedes suddenly have a faster car.

How will they perform in the warmer conditions of the Middle East where Red Bull have done well this season?

Verstappen at best should have received a 5 second penalty. FIA are clearly deciding where the championship goes.

Excellent race but Max was awful with his behaviour.

The FIA did nothing after Silverstone either.

Schermerhorn

IMO Bottas was trying to be clever and make way for Lewis hence the early braking

Or....he was anticipating an off-track/collision between Lewis and Max and played it safe.

Schermerhorn

Nice to see Aston Martin not bodging it up as usual. For Vettel anyway.

Schermerhorn

I still think Verstappen will be too strong for Lewis, providing that Bottas does not act as buffer for too long.

Schermerhorn

Another disappointing performance from Tsunoda. Qualified top 10 because he was the only one using soft tyres in Q2. That proved to be a smart strategy as the wet track bailed him out and negated the disadvantage. And what did he do? Spinning out of the top 10 and looking slow all race. I really wo...

Nice waste of a good drive there by Merc. The wooden team.

Look to Aston Martin for that.

Utter brain fade today.

Schermerhorn

The momentum seems to have swung in Mercedes favour since Monza. I vote Lewis for WDC and Mercedes for WCC....

(For now)

Schermerhorn

Good result for Valtteri.

If he is racing for himself now, then this is a good audition to the other teams.

Schermerhorn

This could be a disaster for those staying out on old, worn out intermediate tyres ....

Schermerhorn

Aston Martin - utter bodge job of a team.

Schermerhorn

Marzipan brain Mazepin.

Schermerhorn

Expected a stronger race from Vettel. I thought he wohld flourish in these conditions.

Schermerhorn

I know its expecting alot but Bottas better deliver tomorrow. It's probably one of the last chances he will ever get at a GP win before trundling around in 14th place for the rest of his career in an Alfa Romeo for the next few years. He better take it with both hands. If Hamilton makes quick progr...

He's already been sacked, effectively. Put yourself in his shoes. He's been second fiddle to Lewis for years and (yes I know he never was going to beat Lewis) he's had to continuously put aside personal ambitions and do what the team ask. He's had his own race strategies ruined to benefit Lewis. So...

Aston Martin bodged up big time too. Should have pitted 2 laps earlier. Aston Martin got it right with Lando and pulled him in, but then he had various excursions. Seb was indeed 2 laps too late. Stroll is not a reliable pair of hands unfortunately and Vettel is looking the same too these days.

He is looking like someone who deserved his demotion.
