They also liked the one-stop strategy so much at the end that they decided to give that fastest lap extra point to VER by not pitting Bottas after PER passed him.

The question has a bit more — HAM gap to VER was similar to that of VER gap to BOT. If BOT couldn’t benefit from the same undercut, how come VER managed to do it? Maybe, Mercedes underestimated VER’s outlap […]

Have been looking at news if someone asked this question to HAM or Mercedes. But no news yet. Am curious as well.

What you mention was his first attempt in Q2. HAM set his fast lap on the second attempt in Q2 with a scrubbed set, which he used for the race.

It’s a strange word. Often one assumes it is equivalent of “very” but it is not.

As the saying goes, the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little “extra”.

Just put them at the back of the pack — treating that they have been blue flagged — letting the cars in the leading lap to move ahead of them. No free lap. They were anyway lapped, who cares?

Such articles generally get good number of hits and fans from everywhere to keep making the same argument one more time. I don’t think anyone is going to change their position on how they view Hamilton or anyone […]

May be I am missing something… For reverse grid, Why won’t the fast cars run slower just to qualify ahead?

They should give a target time for the lap. And order the grid based on whoever is closest to the t […]

“Nearly two-tenths faster than Bottas through the first sector, the Mercedes was much faster in the middle part of the lap, but Verstappen held the advantage through the final sector.”

If he was running more […]

“Red Bull and Mercedes out-paced them handily, and Lewis Hamilton gave a pessimistic assessment.”

Red Bull and Ferrari?

Just like how we all could see how the Red Bull front wing flexed under load while he won the world championships, but still all passed load tests.

There’s a difference between caring about your own safety when talking about halo device and caring about the safety of marshals when speeding through a double yellow. Hamilton cares about the safety of marshals […]

I don’t understand why they are not able to come up with something concrete here that will provide a driver absolutely no incentive to drive fast in a double yellow sector. Here are couple of options that they […]

“10 seconds in the case of (b)” clearly states that they are adding only 10 seconds to his finish time as the penalty is due to an incident in the last three laps.

Does anyone know what HAM is talking about in the last part?

Did the team change anything overnight?

So, did the same problem exist during qualifying?

ROS moving over for HAM cost him 3 points. RIC pit stop blunder made the difference to 6. Rest of it is simply that car #6 did not have the pace. That cost them 13 points.

How will the visibility be in rain? There are two layers in front of the drivers’ eyes now, helmet visor and this.

“Those calculations changed when Sebastian Vettel , who was only six seconds behind Hamilton, made an early seconds pit stops. ”

“… early second pit stop.”
