FIA doing liberal things, choosing both track limits minutiae and physical restraint in the form of gravel.
The idea of the gravel is that it is supposed to negate the “time advantage” when crossing over the track limit, by slowing the car / forcing a strong correction, and yet they’re issuing track limit penalties anyway. |

As much as I’m not a fan of David Valsecchi’s commentary generally, you have to give him credit for standing between Buxton’s and Palmer’s hype and blame game and saying “this is F1. This is what we rave about from 20 and 30 years ago with legendary drivers”.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sgthatred: Getting old, brain fart got me. I meant RB and Vettel not Hammy. Scrambled eggs for brains this morning Ok, that makes sense. I think the comparison is quite valid then. Vettel was superior for as long as the rules favored a car that matched his driving preferences. I think for Red Bull it’s the same. They are creating and developing a car that suit max driving preferences and abilities 100% . And as they develop it further that way it becomes harder and harder to checo. Still he sucks |

I remember Schumacher's teammates used to experience it too; Michael put a lot of time into understanding the car and figuring out that it didn't have to be pleasant to drive to be very fast. His teammates never got over that first hill, so they were always sitting midfield while he was at the front (with the exception of one Martin Brundle...).
I think we're seeing that with Perez. The field has shifted forward slightly, Max knows how to maximize the car, Sergio is stuck unable to find a way to make it go quick. So weird exactly the same thing happened last year. The mid-season plummet in form, I mean. He just cannot get a time out of it. The difference between him and Gasly/Albon is he usually starts out well, but loses momentum. Those guys looked lost from the first lap. |

Max should claim to be right, skip the drama and move on. From my peon perspective, it’s racing put on your big boy pants. |

It's a bit weird to me that Max seems more concerned about Lando beating him than the whole WDC. He's winning that easily, and yet we're seeing a response to pressure which seems to be unusual. Perhaps the championship is so devalued to him (because he's walked it twice now) that it's more important to be seen as the top guy than anything else.

For all the clowns arguing. Riddle me this and tell me what the fall out would have been if it was Hamilton in the lead and he moved under breaking to keep Ver from passing and the same punctures.
Red Bull would have gone nuclear. Calling for Toto to resign. Some of You all posting on here are dense. |

There’s some seriously good reactions on page 137. Anyone blaming Lando for that contact is delusional. At the end of the day both drivers crossed the line throughout the entirety of the battle. And we get to do it again next week.  |
