It did look yellow but even if it was red it’s still not worthy of a penalty because he started decelerating straight after that. Decelerating at 5g would not be the safe thing to do under a red flag.

@minilemm. You can tell what’s going on from video or images above. Max is significantly behind in the beginning of a braking zone. Despite being on a suboptimal racing line for both corners he decides to b […]

Not buying it. He’ll be quicker than Mercs tomorrow on the same compounds.

Ominous, sorry… did I get you right, we need those flights because existing pilots need training?

@spafrancorchamps sure, lets go through the list:
1. Reducing the noise saves the hearing of thousands of spectators
2. It demonstrates to ordinary people that powering race cars with liquid fuel is not the only […]

Huh? Vettel is working for FIA (indirectly) and he is critising FIA. He is doing the very thing you say he can’t do.
If somebody listened to airplane pilots – they would speak about carbon too because they are […]

@armchairexpert Are you really going to put all that on drivers? or even teams? They take part, by racing in an event FIA organises. You also take part, by watching the very event FIA organises. You […]

@armchairexpert You assessment is wrong. F1 isn’t run for 10 teams and 20 drivers. It’s run for millions around the world who watch it, work for it. If it wasn’t this entertainment event, there would be others. […]

So we do nothing right? We keep flying, we keep having fun using the most carbon intensive ways and keep quiet about it all because someone like you is afraid of hearing about the damage they are causing?

You do realise he is a racing driver… in a business where he is an employee… he isn’t racing F1 cars for his personal fun.

@armchairexpert How is wealth inequality relevant to pollution here? Or you just want to discredit his point by saying something else, even when it’s irrelevant?

Are you people complaining abouty Vettel serious? You don’t think fly-bys are stupid and wasteful? All for 30sec of noise and colour in the sky? Are you the same deniers who think global warming isn’t a thing? […]

@keithcollantine How close are we, as paying members, to cover the costs of running site? Is ad revenue a significant chunk of all running costs?

Perez couldn’t catch Ham and eventually fell back. Max in the same car was pulling away from Ham, even when Max couldn’t go faster because he had Lec in front of him. Therefore comparing Max and Perez to […]

@slowmo In almost every case dive-bombing driver is at fault because they are most likely braking too late, forcing another driver off the track. That is not an overtake, that’s a crash unless the other driver […]

I think there actually was a problem with VSC system. It said VSC ending but didn’t for much longer than usual. Something did go wrong.

@petebaldwin I think they looked at it already, no action. Feels about right.

@spencer It sounds like it was longevity of the tyre that was a concern, they could have either kept 3rd with high chance of blowout or take certain 5th with FL. Blowout would have not only resulted in no points […]

Depends if Ferrari choose to put him first. So far they haven’t. If they do maybe Sainz can take points away from Max, making it possible to win on merit still.

Despite the pace deficit Mercedes keep bagging the points / podiums
