Re: 2019 German Grand Prix Race Thread
Stewards were harsh on Lewis today. How? Looking back at the crash, it was impossible for him to round the bollard unless he faced the oncoming cars. The other option was to go round the track with a broken wing. I beg your pardon? He made a driving mistake, then just cut it to pitbox like there is...

Re: 2019 German Grand Prix Race Thread
Cmax, then do another lap. The bollard (and the space after it) is to be treated as a wall. That would have been a more unsafe option, with bits of front wing hanging off. The logical thing to do was pit immediately. But again today the black & white interpretation of the rules got in the way of lo...

Not a vettel fan but I have the utmost respect for him as a driver. I thought that he would come out this year guns blazing and ready to shut all of the naysayers up. But then he went on to resort to his old tricks against Hamilton in Bahrain. That is when I really started to worry about him. From ...

I'm starting to buy into the Vettel retirement rumour. Since Canada his performances have fallen off a cliff in terms of raw pace vs Leclerc.

I think Ocon has a very outside chance of Red Bull if he can sever ties with Mercedes. Wouldn't this be hurt somewhat by the fact that he and Verstappen pretty much hate each other?
