First time didn't get me. Bump got me.
Sorry. It's still Hank's fault tho.

I didn't mean to bump it but to legitly use it for the GDT purposes. I'm curious to see what modern car racing looks like when your team actually allows to metal the pedal.

Bottas sacrificed, will go on soft tires.

All good. More commentary on how stupid I've become. I knew this thread existed but my brain wanted action enough to convince me THIS ONE is legit.

This would be pretty much the stupidest point of time to sign Hamilton.

Unless we sign him to 8 x muchodinero SPC and leave him exposed for Seattle to claim.

Alonso (7), Vettel (8) and Raikkonen (13) gained positions by experience (and soft tires).

It’s hard enough to pass in F1 with strategy and pit stops. A couple of mid pack movers and that’s it. It’s something to watch I guess, but certainly not a world changer. Maybe the 2022 car will be better

Qualifying is where the real action is in F1, been that way for years aside from the times when a team has a truly dominant car (like Merc last year).

It's part of why some of these multi-class races like WEC and IMSA are more interesting overall to me.

Disgrace that punting Max off at that corner only led to a harmless 10 second penalty.
While I do agree that both had some blame, Hamilton was the one that should have ultimately pulled back in that corner. My big issue is that a team that was involved in the accident causing the red flag should not be able to affect repairs under the red. That would have been way worse than the 10 seconds

Seriously, how much bullshit is that. Dude punts someone off, damages his own car and then gets to repair it all while the race was stopped like no big deal. If I was RedBull I'd be apoplectic right now. Team orders to Perez to kamakaze the shit out of Hamilton the next race, absolutely.
