F1 Season 2021

[Damocles]

These are the races I love. When the favourite fucks up and has to pass the whole field. Remember Schumacher doing it at Monaco years back in the wet.

Why Hamilton last? Missed the second start

 

[andyhinch]

Very little by the looks of it.

Radio silence so Lewis had a call to make

 

[domalino]

Would be very happy if any of the top 9 win.

Why Hamilton last? Missed the second start

Everybody pitted onto Mediums, every single person on the grid. But they kept Lewis out on Inters even though the track was dry and their forecast said it was dry. Mental. He was the only car on the track at the restart

Stayed with inters as everyone else swapped with drys.

Idea being get enough of a lead to pit and seriously fucked it.

 

[bluealf]

the track's all but dry and the inter tyres would be painfully slow.

On that point how did they not know that and bring him in with every other team and change to slicks, seems utterly stupid.

 

[mccity]

Even if they all pit?

You know I realise I don't know the rules enough on this specific thing to give you an honest answer, so hopefully someone else can dive in.

 

[domalino]

Hamilton should overtake 1 every lap or 2 now, they're so bunched up behind Latifi.

Yes, it does. Inexplicable.

I think a major difference is that the others had nothing to lose, not being the leader.
