Track Map
I would have really loved to see Kimi try to overtake max, but max boxed each time he came within DRS
So, did Russell actually goad Max into overtaking under safety car? Or was Max just sleeping?
Because the leading driver is free to break as long as he is within the Perez distance
Russell absolutely tried to get a penalty for Max. It’s pretty obvious from his driver cam. You don’t drive up the ass of the safety car, signal them to go faster and then slow down when the safety car speeds up.
I thought Russell was ok. He did brake, but it didn’t seem egregious. Verstappen was already nearly alongside even before that, which didn’t help him
I think Russell was keeping heat in his tyres by braking hard and accelerating again. Verstappen was just following at a constant speed and was caught out a bit by what Russell was doing.
Though I think Russel is cheeky enough to time that maneuver deliberately to catch Max off guard
If Verstappen would drive respectfully under safety car like everyone else, he wouldn’t have accidentally overtaken there.
Yeah, not gonna deny it, Russell definitely intentionally baited him into it, but Verstappen always drives dangerously close under safety car, he created the situation.
My stream cut out just after that, so I’ll have to wait to see replays and see if there’s a penalty. Could even be a race ban for Verstappen which I would find hilarious (I think he’s only one penalty point away from a ban, right?)
Would be stupid if he gets a penalty for that, look at how fast the safety car disappears. Russel braked really hard there, that was 100% intentional.
Wow, Lando very cold headed in the situation there to immediately realize that it was solely his own mistake and also say so on the radio
Yeah I’m sorry, but I don’t see norris beating piastri this year
yeah he should n’t have push after piastri came back
Maybe. But we’ve seen this time and time again. Norris is really fast, maybe a bit faster than Piastri but he loses it under pressure
You summed it up perfectly. Except as time goes on, Norris’s speed advantage in quali is diminishing. Piastri gets the championship unless the general team pace drops
Absolute Cinema
he must have seen to many times the f1 movie trailer
Bit harsh defending from Piastri against his teammate, but the crash was 100% on Norris. Good on him that he was quick to recognize it though, a lot of drivers would’ve been a lot less nice on the radio after that
He should defend as hardly as possible within the limits of the rules.
His teammate or not Norris is his biggest threat right now
Contact ! lap 67…
RIP Lando
Wow respect for him owning up right away!
Welcome to Papaya Inchident
Would you like some popcorn?
Leclerc and his team seems to be out of comm… It’s a pity.
In order to do a 1 stop, you’d need to make it at least 45 laps on a hard. LeClerc and Albion are being crazy wanting a1stop when everyone’s getting more deg than they expected.
see Albon was playing the short one :)
Plan C. I repeat Plan C
I’ve never noticed the air scoop on the Mercedes’ noses before. Doesn’t seem to be on any other cars either.
How has Alonso ended up 18th. Even with his pit stop that’s a long way back?
Someone hit a groundhog near turn 10. It’s in a DRS zone, might get hit again if someone tries to pass there…
Oh that’s what that was :(
I think someone hit it again, it looks more exploded than before.
Must have been Hamilton complaining about car damage. He definitely didn’t hit a wall or anything.
Yeah perhaps, his pace is nowhere again. I would have to check his on boards after the race, but I haven’t seen him picking up any damage. He is just slow.
But I also wonder if they made the agreement if any wildlife is hit, not to focus on it. Since they haven’t mentioned it at all.
