what did the mediums last at the start 23-24 laps? Not sure what lap Bottas is on with the mediums but will be interesting.
Think people feel sorry for him losing his seat and he’s also gone from last to 4th pretty impressive
Happy for Riccardo. McLaren made the most out of this track/car combo. It’ll be interesting to see if Danny can keep it up at a high downforce track.
Good for McLaren. Can we just adopt them as America's team? All super nice dudes with an Aussie and Brit driver based out of the UK with an American principal. Makes just as much sense if not more than Haas who has a Russian and German driver.
“Fuckin come on!” I feel the same way, Daniel is like a super positive guy, nothing but good vibes 100% of the time.
I do like Valterri's demeanor at this point. In watching back Lewis/Max crash all he says is it's unfortunate. Doesn't take a side. Half of him wants that team title because it'll mean more money from him but the other half is probably like fuck Mercedes man.
I'm not seeing where the fault in that incident is on Lewis. To me Max needs to get out of that because he's clearly behind and riding the curbs. He's got to take that exit left and file in behind Lewis. I get why he didn't I get wanting to stick it back to Lewis for what happened earlier in the year, I get being pissed about the pit costing him the race win but if not for the Halo that choice could've really injured or killed a driver.
Imo Max could've taken the off track bailout but Lewis could've also given room for him at the apex. A bit of truth to both. In the end, racing incident. Thankfully no injuries. On to the next race.
Why should max have to leave the track because lewis took a line that was clearly outside of his path? Looked like lewis intentionally left his line and entered max's
I think ultimately I could live with it being called a racing incident. It’s not on the same level of what we saw in England. But the calls that Lewis is at blame here are off.
Some news getting out that they may drop MGU-H out of the next generation of engine to allow VW to enter the sport. Edit:
If VW does enter the world of F1 could we see a new team or two enter… Audi or Porsche in F1 would be fantastic.
You know why everyone is blaming Lewis. The entitlement of Max and his fans is truly something to behold. Max’s attitude is always “If I’m going wheel to wheel the other driver is going to back out and concede to me.” Lewis didn’t leave enough space? Great, Max didn’t leave enough space in Spain, Imola, and on the first lap of this race as well. Super fucking happy for McLaren. Love everything about that team.
If not from the tire, in the slow mo you can see Max’s floor crush back from the halo. That metal would be slamming into Lewis’ temple otherwise.
Yeah like Ive said I think Max is more at fault but that nuts, especially when Lewis only got a small time penalty when Max flew into wall in England. Maybe it has something to do with the optics of his wheel on Lewis' halo.
