Style Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 So happy to see Danny get the win yesterday and it's great to see a McLaren 1/2. George in the points yet again as well. As for the elephant in the room, Max at fault for me so a correct decision to penalise him. I don't think Red Bull are complaining about it either, if Christian Horner is calling it a racing incident then it's fair to say they know fine well who's at fault too. Lewis was ahead and always leaving space so he can't be called out for anything really imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 in my opinion - Hamilton was in better position Lap 1 at Turn 4 and yielded, Verstappen doesnt because he is a hot head. If it was a racing incident and both are to blame I think the stewards decision was right anyway as I think Verstappen needs a reality check. Verstappen should win this WDC but i think his Hot head will prevent him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) The whole grid got through the chicane from the start which did surprise me I really don't think Verstappen went down the route that Hill is suggesting. I think he just drives his car like Senna used to, if you yield then your opponent will always have the upper hand I don't think he checked on Hamilton as he walked away because it looked like he was still trying to back his car out and was thus ok ? I could be wrong on that one. Chicanes will always cause this issue if neither driver backs out then you'll get crashes, i personally think the large sausage kerbs need to go. A great day for McLaren, good to see DR back to winning ways. Roll on the next one https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/24096/12407575/martin-brundle-analysing-lewis-hamilton-and-max-verstappens-latest-clash-and-mclarens-triumph?fbclid=IwAR1Qc4ThSXn4h29gSpU7QXJovVg8IwyVgb-bmlGJ1UWpyfJQxntlNDccVNM Edited September 14, 2021 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Great job by all of them in those conditions but Russell for me is showing his true potential making the call to go to slicks when he did and got the Williams to where it shouldn't really be Not a great time for Hamilton with the pit box incident, hitting the wall and spinning off but he's possibly in a better place getting the tow down to turn 2 Actually looking forward to this one. Also looking forward to Verstappen carving his way through the pack Edited September 26, 2021 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Perfect example of why it's a team sport and more than just having a competitive car with an experienced driver. If Hamilton hadn't listened to his team then Verstappen would be taking the 25 points and if Norris had listened to his team he would have his first ever race win. Was an entertaining watch at the end, some big winners and some big losers on those last 3 laps. Just think if there had been an accident and it was red flagged or a safety car, Norris would have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Norris made the call to stay out until it was too late to do anything Think Mercedes had a guy on a boat telling them how heavy the rain was getting coming into the circuit from the sea Verstappen was the biggest winner. Go Max Edited September 27, 2021 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Max Hamilton will have to hope for a similar result when he inevitably has to take an engine penalty otherwise it's advantage Max. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 At least their strategy of sending Bottas to the back of the grid to fend off Max for a while worked well... Gutted for Lando. Strange to think that George is comforting him after experiencing the same thing before him lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense to follow suit and use an additional power unit to have a faster car in closing stages of the season. All my opinion of course.

Swampy442 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Lets hope Lewis takes out Vercrashen in a crash, gets a penalty and takes his engine penalty the same time It makes a mockery of the penalty system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Don't understand why they don't compound the grid penalties and roll them over to the following races. Also wonder if anyone will end up with a race ban this year. A few guys are closing in on the penalty point threshold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel there will be a few more COVID spouts that mean drivers miss races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Other than a pit lane start maybe, or a time penalty, there really isnt a tougher penalty you could give than a back of the grid start that wouldnt upset a lot of people. Max lucked in bit even still he was in the top 10 before the rain. Its a hard penalty to work out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
