There was no way Max could have squeezed through at the turn. Initially, I felt Hamilton could have given him a little space, but then that would have put Max straight ahead, and a little difficult to catch up with it. Max, on the other hand knew what would be outcome of the squeezing. He just was not ready to break and leave the inner circle to avoid the crash.
One of Hamilton's crew member likened it to a professional foul as obtained in soccer.
Dat means Lewis also knew all d complications of his actions, bt cos he is selfish, he no gree gv small space
If u watched d race, u will see he clearly had d time n space to gv Max some space bt he refused
To me, Max is wrong bt so also is Lewis
D way de r painting Max black is not fair for d competition

I still don't knw how these formula one team makes money.

With the cost of tires, getting new car in almost every race,cost of fueling and parts and paying the drivers and team members. How do they make all these money to foot the bills and remain profitable.
You didn't add cost of logistics transporting all the race gear and equipment from one country circuit to another.

FIAMG & Toto want their man boy toy to win at any & everyone else’s expense.
First time in a while Hamilton gets real competition and we see how he crumbles and complains under the slightest application of pressure.
Despite doing far worse to Max at Silverstone, sending him crashing hundreds of km/h and costing the poor boy at worst a 15 to 18, possibly a 25 point lead in the WDC
he’s allowed to get away with just a light tap on the wrist.
What should have been regarded as a racing incident is been blown of of proportions.
A supposed 7-time World Drivers Champion with all the experience is having his sh1t pushed in so far that he’s choked his lead on multiple occasions this season. Even when Pole positions are handed to him he still manages to mess it up requiring and sacrificing Bottas each time to cover up his a$$ when he gets exposed.

I’m sincerely impressed with and happy for Bottas who actually fought his way into Pole position during the Qualifiers and then had to go down to 19th in the race due to circumstances beyond his control but still fought his way back up to the podium @ 3rd.
Also an impressive 1-2 win the McLaren team too.
Pérez tried sha but could’ve pushed a bit harder, perhaps for the fastest lap, considering the odds against him.
Hopefully winning Sochi should provide some succour for Max.
D propaganda for Lewis is jus too much
I hate dat Bottas has to always make ways for him to win
I hate anything dat is monopolized on purpose

Each constructor can only register 3cars in a season. And limited number of upgrade is considered.

I meant the penalty was just seconds....1or 10. Still sec didn't meantion 1 sec.

5 secs is a huge penalty in F1 much more 10 secs. See how 5 secs penalty move Perez from 3rd to 5th.

Lol….Bottas making ways for Lewis to win? How?

If you understand the sport, you will know that priority is always given to the leading driver especially when the second driver has nothing to lose.

Lewis was in the lead and had every right to close the door, Max should have backed out but yea since the start of the season, he has been agressive, Lewis has been the one backing down until silver stone

Majority of their money comes from sponsorship. It doesn't cost much for Mercedes, Honda or Williams to make 4-6 engines or extra cars in a year, they get the tires free from pirelle (or whatever their name is). Petronas, Redbull, Ferrari, the stroll family, etc, rake in billions from their respective enterprises, so there's nothing in putting a few millions into R&grin.
They even spend so much that we are getting a spending cap next year.... left alone, these guys will spend billions on just two cars

Fumular one driver also attacking each other codedly.

The same way footballer injure opponent footballer on the football pitch.

Human being trying naughty tricks to gain advantage.

But it is not all the time you get away with such mannerism like in the case of Max Verstappen.

Max Verstappen is a BELGIUM DUTCH.

We also have BELGIUM FRENCH in that country.

And to add to that Redbull plan to start their own stand alone engine production factory solely for their F1 cars alone that is going to cost them billions of $$$ but they have the change to spend so why not. grin

This Is the first time that I am hearing that they get their tires free from Pirelli. Cos the amount of effort that goes into making an F1 tire alone is something else. I watched a documentary about it and I was wowed. Whatever happened to Michellin. I thought they used to be the sole tire manufacturer used in F1, what changed?

I hear Michelin are planning a come back, they left cus they were not getting enough PR and ads from it, but now that the sport has gotten more popular, I guess they want a share of the cake.
And I think these tire contracts are just for adverts for these tire companies

Fingers crossed. Next year’s car’s aerodynamics might not really favour RB as historically Adrian Newey’s designs traditionally tend towards more down force, making them faster on the corners, peaking with V8s during their glory days with Vettel. Meanwhile next years design is doing away with less of downforce to reduce the effect of dirty air.
Watching Q3 right now �.
As for tomorrow, my heart is with Max but my money on Mercedes/Lewis.

...Max got pole, btw.

I am sure you copied this analysis and breakdown from ESPN or Supersport website because I dont believe any Nigerian can be following F1 like this..
Just kidding bro..
You're actually one in a thousand for following F1 with such energy.

lol, I took a bit of a sabbatical from Football for F1, dived all into it. Been a fun experience overall learning about the ins and outs of the ‘sport’, catching up on classic wheel to wheel battles, races and seasons, And more importantly what goes in the pit walls and outside of the track as they tend to as be equally as important.
Glad I witnessed this wonderful season as it’ll definitely go down in history as the best of its era and decade (not in the real sense of the word but 2020 wasn’t really much a proper f1 season anyway), runner ups would be 2012, 2016 too and perhaps 2013 (just by how Vettel completely dominated the whole season - which is a shame because LH had 7+ years to reach that but never did. However LH greatest skill is his cool consistency which Vettel never really had.)

I pray o. But I laff who no comot cap that Mercedes engine, them finish work for there.
Remember say na the same one from Brazil wey dey fly like nuclear fueled ICBM.

Earlier this season Mercedes were lulled into putting most of their car/engine development on hold to focus on 2022 regulation changes while RB took ‘best’ advantage of the aero regulations for this year coupled with Honda finally delivering a more nifty and reliable engine at their final year in F1.

In restropect the Championship was decided at Silverstone, those 25 points (or at least 18 points lost on that race along with the 32 points he had in the bag - 50 points at least) followed by Bottas going 9/11 on the the twin RedBulls at next race in Hungary really hurt Redbull.
a bit earlier you have the tyre blowout at Baku while he was in the lead and we would have had our new World Drivers Champion at the last race in Jeddah (conservatively) or even earlier.

Long story short: LH is Blessed, full stop.

You're waxing lyrical for Max for his obviously very dangerous manoeuvre, driving into Hamilton's space and path and not yielding. Thank God Lewis came out unscathed through providence and improvements to F1 cars especially with incorporation of the protective 'Halo'. It could have been worse but it wasn't.

Max has been rightly judged by the stewards to be in the wrong with three grid penalty points given to him for the Russian grand prix. Yes he's ambitious and wants to win the championship, he just has to temper his irrational and somettimes reckless i-don't-care typical driving style with common sense and better sense of judgement else someone might get killed or seriously injured if he's not out in check by Christian Horner of Red Bull who bleats and complains about anything that involves Lewis, however legal and legitimate, driving wise.
He, Max, has to show some respect and maturity which he clearly lacks for Lewis. To be a seven times champion is no joke. Walking away from the scene of a crash without checking on the safety of your fellow driver actually reduced his worth as a would be champion in my estimate. It's not the done thing. He has to grow up and grow up fast in his current position as the young pretender to Lewis Hamilton's crown. But before then, he has to drive with his brain fully engaged at all times.

This is what happens when you get all your information from British biased, British based channels/journalists.
Let me login in proper so I can address your matter properly.
