Exactly the opposite of the dinosaur who hasn't raced a modern F1 car in decades.

He’s really struggling to grasp turn one isn’t where the crash happened.

[wev]

Max should have broke that Mercedes' floor earlier in the season

[jonathanhoey]

+5s for Verstappen is probably fair in the circumstances. 
 

Nicholls and Aitken on Five Live are calling it a racing incident, or maybe 60/40 Ver/Ham. 

 

 

[wev]

If that had been further round the circuit then, yeah, Max could have cut back, but you can't do that a turn 1 and 2

[JohnC]

I'm sure I saw actual fire on that brake

[MrPogo]

So Max just got his nose ahead of Hamilton’s and Brundle says “so Max is in front”. Then Hamilton gets his nose equally far ahead and Brundle’s take is “and now they’re alongside”.

[Shimmyhill]

Max doesn’t think he should be punished for doing the Max ‘I’m not making the apex, move out of the way or crash’ maneuver 😂🤣😂🤣😂

 

He really has terrible race craft - he has ably demonstrated that all weekend but the shocker is the stewards have finally taken note 😱

[PaB]

Rule 43

subsection (ii)

Time penalties shall only be applied to max verstappen where he is clearly at fault if:

(a)he is already world champion 

 

in all other instances race control and race stewards should defer to redbull team management. 

[jonathanhoey]

So Sainz’s brake fire was from a visor tear-off stuck in the brake duct.

 

Far from the first time. There has to be a better solution than just throwing them into the airstream.

[ryodi]

it was a repeat of Monza last year. Max was ahead because he braked later going into the corner and when Hamilton took his line Max crashed into him. Max got a penalty then so deserved one now. Hopefully Hamilton can make up the deficit to Russell.

[Corranga]

Brundle’s point which is basically that Max had earned more room works, except at that point on the circuit, with the speed and trajectory Max had, he’s basically forcing Lewis wide and off the track as he heads straight on, or, he’s backing out so much he’s watching Lewis pull away anyway, it doesn’t work, it’ll never work, it’s a stupid move and it’s a penalty all day long.

[wev]

I though Charles was out after Norris punted him 

[Sidewaysbob]

Got going again and got a new nose

Looked worse in real time than it was. Just clipped off the right plane of his front wing. 

[Corranga]

Charles to Max gap, is that the power of the undercut? I know max had the 5second penalty, but Charles was behind and I thought by a few seconds too.

[wev]

I'm still not sure how Brundle can say Max was in front when he drove into the side of Lewis's car 😂

Max had a slow stop as well as the penalty

Oh no…. 😏

[SeanR]

Mediums to the end?

[wev]

Well that didn't work out did it? Perez was behind Lewis before this round of pit stops

[Corranga]

They left Hamilton out way too long, he was dropping over a second a lap to Russell, unless they really do think they can make it to the end, but at the rate he’s pushing, it just does make much sense to me.

[wev]

Was talking with my dad about Adrian Newey earlier today, he told me he used to be around the club motorcycle racing circuit when my dad had mates racing and tried making fairings for sidecars out of paper mache, obviously it didn't really work as they would have vibrate themselves to pieces or melt in the rain.

 

 

not sure how true that is though, just thought it was a fun story to share.

[Blue]

Another safety car and we might get a race.

[layten]

Still time for Max to punt somebody else off.

[ryodi]

Russell has got this under control. Perez is no threat and Hamilton is struggling to get within 10 seconds of him.

[layten]

This is looking good for Mercedes if they can carry this pace into next season. Especially as they will be able to fix the fundamental flaw they found in this years car but couldn't fix due to abiding by the rules and keeping within the cost cap.

It's giving McLaren 1997 vibes

[Corranga]

Why are these idiots struggling with that very clear and obvious radio message…

[JohnC]
