We can walk and chew gum. F1 is in crazy town right now. A lot of it is really negative. But we have a real title fight right now and Ocon and Vettel on a Podium. Alonso battling Hamilton on track like it’s 2007. Let us rejoice.

Who thought in a million years it would be Latifi leading them home though. But congrats to them. There is no way Haas scores that many points.
BasCB (@bascb)
1st August 2021, 16:57
Well, to be honest, Latifi has been the better racer of the two @dmw – he has had far less crashes, often has solid starts, while Russel tends to drop back and actually often manages to make a few places up from where he starts.
Mashiat (@mashiat)
1st August 2021, 17:33
@bascb Russell drops back because he starts further ahead. By your logic, Mazepin does a better job than Hamilton since he loses fewer positions.
BasCB (@bascb)
1st August 2021, 17:55
Mazepin also tends to drop almost a minute behind even his own teammate @mashiat, that is not the same thing at all. Come up with at least a somewhat reasonable comparison and we can discus that.

And Alfa Romeo will have though times trying to pass Williams. I really don’t thnik they will…. But who knows
Esploratore (@esploratore1)

Indeed, schumacher also drove well though and was battling for points with verstappen at some point, would say he deserved a point too.

I saw redbull run to their simulators already, after the race they will present their findings to stewards about how ham slowed down perfectly for bottas to crash verstappen… :) it is in coming 3-2-1

They will also send Albon out in old car and wet the track just to make it authentic.

I’m waiting for the enraged outburst about how Bottas is desperate and an amateur etc and to read about it for a week. No? Not this time?

That’s the 2021 season for you. Max only gets 1st and 2nd places, his tyre explodes being in the lead of a GP and he gets hit by a Mercedes in 1st and 2nd place position.
Mercedes makes lots of mistakes and they lead both champions

Yes. This season’s result is getting more and more farcical.

1st August 2021, 16:43
+1 Totally undeserved for Max 3 races he suffered because of things he cant control. But adversity is mans greatest test and would be great to see Max bounce back after the much needed break.
DaveW (@dmw)
1st August 2021, 16:55
RBR has led still by far the most laps. They have the car. They have a fast driver. It’s neck and neck in the tables. So we have a great second half ahead of us. Take heart.

Hopefully luck turns around a bit, this is insane.

It’s a shame for Verstappen that he goes into the break being behind in the championship,as he got really unlucky in 3 events. The battle between Red Bull-Mercedes and McLaren-Ferrari will go till the end i reckon (and i hope).

Lewis and Mercedes were lucky despite making a terrible call.
MXMXD (@mxmxd)
1st August 2021, 16:35
The location of Mercedes garage made it super prone to incidents and unsafe releases. I thought their call was stupid but it did make some sense. They also thought there would be rain.
Zann (@zann)
1st August 2021, 16:38
tbf the team can’t talk to the drivers on the formation lap, and was Lewis really going to go into the pits first, on his own? He could have been bang last, and 5s behind! So only in hindsight, realistically. Then behind him once Ocon did they were all bound to follow. Credit to Ocon sure, and he reaped the reward.
Nikki (@nikkit)
1st August 2021, 16:45
Unfortunately, Hamilton was stuck in that situation. Pit and get stuck behind everyone else that didn’t if they chose to stay
out or stay out. And without the team being able to call him in, he had to make the call himself.
That must have been the strangest feeling being the only one on that grid. I know it was a strange thing to watch.
Zann (@zann)
1st August 2021, 19:46
It turns out that rule doesn’t apply on a restart so it was the team’s call, but they were quite stuck anyway, being the first garage.
AJ (@asleepatthewheel)
1st August 2021, 16:46
But what sort of system could Mercedes have been using which resulted in only their driver staying out?

I thought f1 was a meritocracy, not the most lucky wins, guess I was wrong.

The WDC is a points based championship. Most POINTS wins. The very definition of a meritocracy!

The championship makes sense again.
Lewis deserves to win it.
He’s the best driver on the grid

Verstappen and RB can still win both championships. The battle is still on.

Hamilton is no longer the best driver on the grid: verstappen, leclerc, norris, prob russel are stronger now, he made several mistakes this year.
DeanR (@deanr)
2nd August 2021, 8:19
That’s your opinion. Meanwhile, in the real world, we have Lewis leading the WDC standings. Less you forget, Lewis is still the most successful driver ever to race in F1. So while you have your opinions, statistics show them to be wrong.

I have every sympathy with the many Max fans who are bemoaning his bad luck. Reminds me of Hams bad luck during 2016.
Too early?
Jeorge (@jeorge)
1st August 2021, 19:09
The bad luck where he cheated and still lost the Championship
Lewhine CHeatlton is prime Schumacher without the skill, talent and team spirit, just the dirty cheat left
At least Nico had the decency to retire, jus sayin
Esploratore (@esploratore1)
1st August 2021, 19:54
Hamilton cheated in 2016? I don’t get it, I don’t usually defend hamilton but seems to me he did a great job against horrible luck to get within a race of winning 2016.
Nikki (@nikkit)
2nd August 2021, 6:37
It’s rediculous how people are still claiming that Hamilton cheated in Abu Dhabi in 2016.
What he did was not only in the rules, but multiple team bosses and drivers had said BEFORE the race that it was his best tactic for taking the championship, to back Rosberg up into the traffic and let him get swamped and lose places.
Even after the race -and I believe Rosberg even said the same- the same drivers and team bosses kept the same line. That it was the only thing he could have done.
If it had been any other driver, it would have been long forgotten by now, but because it’s Hamilton the people still bringing it up have their own reasons for holding him to completely different standards.

* not sure if Aston Martin have grounds to appeal, the regulation says there must be 1 litre of fuel remaining in the tank, but there was 0.3 🤷♂️
Malc
2nd August 2021, 19:24
Not exactly there was 1.44 litres left in the tank but they could only extract 0.3.
Harsh but thems the rules for everyone
