Lewis mate…

Definitely on Lewis that one

Yep. He has owned it as well.

He seemed to think at the time that George had tapped him.

Team should have at least planned how the first corner might go too

Lewis had the speed and the tyres. Didn’t need to cut in as aggressively, would have had a chance at Verstappen going into turn 2 if he hung it out round the outside.

Sure they did but 3 into the corner only works if Max moves over or Lewis gives George more room.
Only 1 of those can/will happen. Just an error from Lewis at the end of the day.

I can't work out why Lando didn't make those Hards go longer and take Max on with Mediums towards the end

Yep. Basically just killed any advantage. Both cars on same tyres at here was only one winner

Both Hamilton and Leclerc disqualified after suffering excessive wear to the skid plank underneath the car.

However, not every car is checked by the FIA. It's a random spot check as it would take too long to check them all apparently. Which is a bit dodgy really. Only 4 cars were checked out of the 17 that finished the race.

Good job he didn’t win then

Agreed, I'm no expert in stats, but that would suggest way more than 2 cars were running too low

 

[PuntsWolf]

Well, their teammates for starters

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The Merc running too low and not porpoising so that the driver looks like he has Slayer on the radio is actually a step in the right direction though.

Ferrari on the front row tomorrow.

Max in 3rd.

A ton of investigations to come Inc Max, George and Lewis so the starting grid could change.

Danny Ric putting his car in 4th place.

No sanctions for Verstappen or Russell for creating a traffic jam in the pitlane.

Verstappen, Hamilton escape sanctions for Mexico F1 qualifying incidents

They need to do something as that isn't right, clogging the end of the pitlane up. It shouldn't be allowed stopping there during a session.

Max did it in Singapore and got a slap on the wrist. After the race they admitted he should have been given a grid penalty.
Obviously changed their mind on that.

Pointless penalty for Logan as well. Se5 to start in 19th...then gets given a 10 place penalty.

 

[Kenny]

Perez fast tracking his exit from RB

 

[PuntsWolf]

Is this another Ferrari special or do they know something no one else does?

 

[Kenny]

Red flag probably saves any Ferrari strategy fuck up.

Should be a standing restart to make it interesting for a corner or 2

Lando having a beast of a drive today
