Formula 1 - 2018 Season

The penalty has a multiplier for the age of the driver.

Most exciting f1 race this year thanks to some well timed safety cars.

 

Brilliant race

Edit: The qualifying was also epic, less than 0.1 seconds covering the top 3 over 5.891 km. That is insane.

 

I was there at Silverstone for the race and I need to rewatch it on TV as there was so much going on!

It was amazing seeing these cars take turn 1 and 2 at the limit of adhesion! Top 3 cars visibly more stable than the rest, with Williams being so much worse than any other car ...

Great race!

 

Seems like it has been blocked. The whole Alonso vs. Magnussen fight at the end of the race wasn't shown on TV because of the fight at the front.

At least Fernando got past Kevin

 

Thank you that was great.

and not great at the same time. Magnussen is like double Verstappen

 

More hydraulics hijinks! This info about Vandoorne's car having lower aero than Alonso's is also intriguing. A few year ago someone else was having mystery issues that turned out to be a hairline crack in the tub. I wonder if this is the same situation, and if McLaren's supposed funding issues play a part in not solving this ASAP. Or maybe there just hasn't been time to go through his car with a fine toothed x-ray machine given the recent schedule.

Question about Bottas' contract: is the second year option his or the team's? (In the NBA, options are specified as player or team. My usual F1 reads haven't clarified.)

Question on Toto's claim that they're losing half a second a lap to Ferrari on the straights: am I in bizarro world?

What's the betting line on # of first lap racing incidents in this mixed up field?

 

F1 - German Grand Prix

 

Haha brilliant! Love it... 14th to the win in those conditions suberb.

Ferrari messed up keeping Seb too long behind Kimi, but hey ho Seb binned it anyway.

 

Both fins are obviously second drivers. What did you expect?

Anyway Ferrari and RBR cocked up on strategy.

 

Bottas was dropped like a bad smell well before he got the call to back off, that's if the FIA got the timings right when they showed a replay.

He had one chance and he blew it. Once Hamilton's tyres were up to temp he was gone. Plan and simple. Even you probably... Lol as if you can enter a reasonable debate with Hamilton

 

We all know you have some other worldly ways of thinking when it comes to Fins but everyone with the least bit of common sense knows both are without a doubt second drivers. Just because they occasionally finish in front of the #1 doesn't change that.

Maybe you need to replay today's radio messages.

 

Well, if anything happens it will be because Ferrari paid for it. According to Brundle, there is absolutely nothing in the rules prohibiting what Hamilton did, and in fact it has been done before at Hungry without so much as a mention.

 

Lewis reprimanded, keeps race victory:

The correct decision, and the correct end to a great race weekend.

 

You mean Mercedes blew it when they gave Bottas a 16 second pit stop.
