Had Hamilton given VER more room, VER still wouldn’t have made T2, going straight on and ramming into HAM. So, to me, VER is the only one who could have avoided a collision. He didn’t and they crashed.

@timeslides To me, it looks like VER knows he’s running out of the road and that he’s going to lose the position to Hamilton by taking to the run-off/sausage kerbs. He doesn’t want that, so he takes him out by […]

@ryanoceros @balue

Yeah, but shouldn’t Max receive a grid penalty for overtaking in pit exit/crossing the pit-exit line…?

More penalties for Leclerc, Norris, Vettel, and Stroll should be given as well I’m afraid.

The problem is that if Mexico and Brazil get cancelled due to Covid, and with Singapore and Japan already being cancelled, the remaining tracks look to be mostly in favor of Mercedes:

Italy: Merc
Russia: […]

Latifi & Mazepin are not worthy of an F1 seat. Giovinazzi is borderline and Stroll got from ‘unworthy’ to ‘decent driver’. Raikkonen, my favorite driver in the ’00’s, is getting too old now and mistake prone […]

Verstappen will not finish lower than 4th

Lewis needs Verstappen to crash. As history has shown us quite a few times, that is reasonably likely to happen if Max is pushed hard enough. Unfortunately, however, […]

Max and Lewis are better than their respective teammates, but they can’t prove much else this season either way.

Give those #2 seats to Russel and Lando, Gasly to McLaren and let’s have Merc, Ferrari, Mclaren, […]

a comfortable second and damages his car
This was Lewis’ fault, unfortunately. Can’t afford this, already being on the back foot.

@amg44 Yeah gonna be a boring season after all I’m afraid

@randommallard It wrecked a season that was pretty epic up until then. I hope it doesn’t do the same now.

Hamilton is pushing the ‘stronger Honda engine’ narrative very hard, but it isn’t true.

The Mercedes customer teams were quicker than RBR in a straight line last week in France. It was just Mercedes itself […]

5 teams within 1s, that’s interesting.
Merc behind RBR and FER again? Does anyone know the tires used? I didn’t watch the session.

That’s a dumb rule. Why would anybody want to go flat-out if that is the penalty?! It would make the second run in Q3 pointless.

Yeah really weird. All comments are gone.

No, he hasn’t but he can’t afford to make his usual mistakes around here. Max needs to win here.

@todfod Monza is long straights with chicanes. The Lesmo’s and the entry to Parabolica are sort of nice but everything else is meh. Baku is even worse. Mostly stop-start with unnatural corners.

Both tracks do […]

Well, because of Latifi’s crash in the ‘Verstappen-corner’ (and then Mick), Mercedes didn’t really get a proper chance to run their final adjustments. I still don’t count them out for the front row. But yeah this […]

Spain, Monaco, Monza, Baku, Sochi, Paul Ricard, Singapore, Melbourne, Mexico, and Abu Dhabi are all terrible tracks imho. Sometimes there are good races despite that, but I wouldn’t miss any of them if they were […]

Max has made several little mistakes that cost him points this year already, like in Portugal and Bahrain. It pretty much explains his 14 point deficit to Lewis.

Max now simply has to win Monaco. If he makes […]

This is true. If HAM had to overtake both RBR’s they might not have tried this strategy. Also, after getting back 2 positions early, and being close to Leclerc and Bottas, he couldn’t do much. Dissapointing.
