Hamilton benefitted with the VSC in Spain in 2017. It has worked against him now.
Its a hole in the regs that I mentioned the other day I'll try and find it.mikeyg123 wrote:Oh come on! Why the safety car.
In other news - The pitlane should be closed under VSC. God knows why they didn't make that change already.
In other, other news - Surely this is both Magnussen and Grosjean are Knackered for Bahrain as well?

pokerman wrote:Yep and that's why the VSC was such a good step forward however with that they should be stopping cars from pitting and gaining an advantage, the purer the race the better, it's supposed to be a 50/70 lap race.
You're kidding right? Seb was being left for dead by both Hamilton and his teammate. Now he has track position and fresher tires (fresh enough to make it to the end easily) on a track where overtaking is extremely difficult. This was an early birthday gift.Blake wrote:With the pace Lewis has had and Vettel has not... how have they gift wrapped the win to Seb?

i'm not sure how seb ended up ahead, but once they go green, i expect lewis has the car to smoke vettel. will be shocked if he doesn'tBlake wrote:With the pace Lewis has had and Vettel has not... how have they gift wrapped the win to Seb?
Why? What would that achieve for anyone?VDV23 wrote:Okay, so Max let Alonso go but surely overtaking under (V)SC should be a penalty, not just a position swap?
No.. I am not kidding. vettel has not had the pace of Lewis nor Kimi. I don't it as a sure thing for Seb at all. Hope it is though!sandman1347 wrote:You're kidding right?

Will you be saying that same thing if Lewis wins?pokerman wrote:Farcical rules make for a farcical race.
Have a look at the Spain 2017 thread and check.Blake wrote:Will you be saying that same thing if Lewis wins?pokerman wrote:Farcical rules make for a farcical race.
Did you not see the post I made before the race about pitting under the VSC so I'm consistent, I care about the integrity of the race whereas you just car about Ferrari winning.Blake wrote:Will you be saying that same thing if Lewis wins?pokerman wrote:Farcical rules make for a farcical race.

Don't mind me
Why would Haas ruin two races for both their drivers. If they wanted to bring out a VSC they would just stop the car.sandman1347 wrote:This is some suspicious stuff.
