F1 Season 2021

[hello]

Would that give it to Hamilton ?

Yes about 2.5 secs behind only grey area is done bullshit about changing to a grid penalty next season

Would that give it to Hamilton ?

Yes

As each minute passes I'm thinking one of two things is going on behind the scenes.

A) FIA are frantically finding a way to uphold the result and reject any appeal by Mercedes.

B) The decision to give Max a penalty has already been made and now they are lining up all their PR ducks to prepare for the shitshow that will follow.

As Rosberg quite rightly highlighted, Verstappen was trying to let Hamilton know he was there and knew the left side of the track coming up would not help Lewis in the tow.

Especially so, as there was no DRS for two laps anyhow.

Absolutely crooked. The guys who drive these rockets are mental gymnasts, they process information at speeds mere mortals cannot comprehend.

Same as last week on the brake check, Verstappen is doing it right at the moment he knew the line was coming up for DRS.

Nobody should underestimate the multiple processing and calculating which is done by people who drive 180mph into a blind corner in the wet.

Max knows exactly what he's doing, his problem is he doesn't know where the line is.

Didn't see the race, only followed the final couple of laps and the result. I've got huge respect for Hamilton, but I'm not really all that invested in F1, truth be told.
I don't really understand the technicality involving lapped cars here. Could somebody who genuinely has no axe to grind — somebody who is neither a Hamilton supporter nor a Verstappen supporter — give me a clear-eyed assessment of whether the FIA have clearly broken rules of practice that have been observed in the past?

It's murky but it's basically this. The argument is that Masi (race director) let a small amount of cars through to unlap specifically so that there was a final lap shootout. The rules state that either all or no cars should unlap, nothing in between.

The exceptions are usually down to safety reasons, and it's unlikely that was the motivation.

FIA dismiss protest regarding breach of article 48.8 about overtaking behind safety car

FIA do not believe either car was on full throttle during alleged overtake.

Masi got a delivery of red bull and one if they cans was full of African diamonds is the only logical conclusion

I’d have thought the longer this goes, the better for Hamilton.
