F1 Season 2021

There does seem to be a story in Perez’s car though. Was he retired to simply remove the need for Max to overtake him or was it for some other reason.

Perez was shocked on his radio when he was told to box and retire.

That is true but still nothing official.

It all just seems a little seedy.

I don’t think we’ll hear anything more from Red Bull.

Hamilton was clinging on for dear life on that last lap and was given a shit sandwich to deal with. One observation, why did he go wide into the corner and let Verstappen get alongside him? Alonso is the master of making his car bigger than it should be, wonder if he would have survived that onslaught?

I would guess not.

I guess Hamilton was worried about being taken out.

The fat annoying bloke in the pink shirt said something along the lines of they were worried Perez didn’t have enough fuel to last the race and couldn’t risk him breaking down on track, was about 60-75 mins after the race whilst he was prancing about outside the stewards offices.

The main overtaking spots were on the following two straights so he was taking a normal line to try and get a decent exit.

But Verstappen went for a bold move and imo caught Hamilton unawares on a corner that he wasn't expecting Verstappen to dive down the inside of.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Somebody said yesterday that the other red bull was underweight, has any proof of that been released, I can't seem to find it anywhere?

Carpet … Under … Swept. No real reporting of anything negative which suggests that they were all happy with the result. How that can be is anybody’s guess but my over-riding sense is that they wanted it because any right-minded person could see exactly what went on.

There is the Virtual Safety Car which can be used, essentially slowing all the cars down to maintain their relative positions.

Latifi was a perfect example of when a VSC would not have been enough, and a full SC at least was needed.

The amount of debris, and attaching the crane to the car would require marshals in the middle of the track, and you need the long gap that the SC produces to do that.

In the post race show with Ted Kravitz he was outside the RB garage reporting on ‘conspiracy theories’ and that in actual fact Perez’s car had a sudden drop in fuel and water pressure. Red Bull didn’t want to risk him stopping on the track causing a further disruption so retired him from the race as a precaution. Just repeating what was reported.
