Can somebody please enlighten me on the Jerez 1997 notion made in this article (and in another one by Keith previously), where it is hinted that Mclaren & Williams colluded to alter the results of the […]

Perez would likely overtook him one way or another – so the real loss was just two points in my opinion.

Just a thought… Is Mercedes gambling on Mexico & Brasil (two relatively PU stressing circuits due to long straights and/or high altitude) not taking place & thus on managing the rest of season with just three […]

But it is true. Mclaren won a race last time on merit & was leading this race with 3 laps to go. Ferrari is also increasingly competitive again. Williams seems to have erased chunk of its deficit to others, only […]

Mistake. They should have left Bottas at front – let him take as much points to WCC (and possibly hold Verstappen if he catches him during the race) & Hamilton should have made the PU & gearbox changes and fight […]

Hamilton from his viewpoint could not see whether Verstappen was remaining in the cockpit or climbing out. But the situation was dangerous. Maybe both Hamilton & Verstappen should have coordinated their actions […]

Wolff avoided answering some interesting questions. Why Mercedes waited with the stop for another lap? Had they pitted Ham lap earlier they would most likely covered both Norris & Verstappen. Such a shame because […]

+1 for you for this comment. :D

Hamilton has nothing to fear in this investigation. He only needs to point on lap 1 situation. If anything Verstappen is under the risk, but I cant see him getting a penalty of any sort. He was just lucky his ride […]

@Manto

That is not how it worked. The cars with higher fuel loads could stay longer on the track, while those that pitted earlier had to refuel and their cars were significantly heavier to the cars that were […]

The older drivers like Alonso or Hamilton are set to benefit from the rules change, as it will decrease the cornering speed and G-loads of F1 cars significantly. This will buy them some extra time in the sport.

But by the time third stops were option, Bottas was already too far back from Verstappen & neither Hamilton could get close enough to make such strategy work.

The only possibility was after the first stops, […]

I think it all depends on when the red was actually showed on Verstappen´s steering wheel. If it was at the exact moment as it was displayed in the live broadcast I think he could get away unharmed or with […]

Unless all is bit different to what we all assume right now? Just saw interview with Bottas, he seemed relaxed and joyful – certainly not the expected feeling when you are heading for 2nd slowest car on the grid.

I think he is (a minor) shareholder in the car company, not F1 team. Correct me if I am wrong.

That he is a driver manager to Ocon, is not problematic to me. If he would try to exert any pressure on Ocon to […]

Let´s not turn this into “Toto´s Wolff” problem only. This is mainly about engine (& gearbox supply) which gives some teams considerable leverage over their customers (including drivers line-up).

So as of n […]

Irregardless of possible long COVID, it should be said Hamilton was lapping way quicker than rest of the field for most of the race. Due to the car difference & also difference in tyres which he had fresher in […]

If true, Vettel must have been seriously underfueled. He has spent almost entire race in the slipstream of Ocon which is said to have impact on fuel consumption. That would be rookie error from Aston Martin.

IF Vettel is DQ, then Verstappen also moves one place, so net gain of just +1 point to Hamilton.

On the formation lap to the restart? What sort of information was he given?
