Formula 1-2021 Season

Lewis did a Max thing, but Max didn't do a Lewis reaction.

Now, to the future

  Can Danny Ric win this thing?  

Wait Botas in 6th???  

If Botas gets a podium it will be one of the best drives ever.

That would be entertaining !!

That's an obvious error on the part of Hamilton. Still feel like it's a racing incident though.

First he swings wide on pit exit, dicey but fair.

then outbrakes himself and leaves absolutely no space

Especially with Mick and Mazepin trying to take each others heads off back there too

I don't have a favourite, I just want to be entertained and so far today, that has happened. As for Max and Lewis, neither of them leaves the other a lane width. They race each other the same way and then grumble about it if they come out on the losing end. Suck it up Buttercups !!

That's, what, twice in 4 races that "Lewis has done a Max"? Perhaps it's just "Lewis doing a Lewis" by now? And maybe it's just how drivers drive when they don't have a car that's seconds a lap faster than the next best. 

If max left room on lap one they would have an argument but they don't have much they can say since they squeezed Hamelton on the first lap to I see it as a racing thing. Neither driver was going to give it up amd well both ended up out of the race because of it. 

Perez with a penalty, putting Bottas on the podium.

I see it as Lewis not putting up with Max's driving anymore.  If Red Bull thinks it's good driving for Max, then it is good driving by Lewis.  Done.

He left a lot more room than Max on lap 1 which required no further investigation. I think Lewis's mistake was not fulling taking "the racing line" as he was ahead and pushing max full off the track (as BS as I think that is).

The way this is going Perez looks to loose a LOT of places.

In reply to alfadriver :

Agreed. It's tit for tat. It'll be interesting to listen to Christian and Toto after the race.

Not really interested in listening to them blame each other. 

In reply to dean1484 :

I find that silly banter amusing from people at that level.

I would like to have them both say our drivers are pig headed idiots and apologies to the fans. 

How high is Mazepin in pentaly points? Would be a shame for him to get a race ban to serve in Russia.

Absolutely.  I see it as Max establishing the rules, Lewis accepting them.  

Makes for some entertainment, anyway.

Interesting to realize that had either RB or MB not screwed up there pit stop it would not have put them there.

Bottas needs to drag the Ferrari's a little closer.

I haven't heard anyone say what went wrong on either pit stop....or I just missed it.

So what would have happened if Botas did not have to change power units.

They have not said anything yet.

How ironic would that be.
