Confirmed with Link: Hamilton going to a red team (The F1 Thread)

[Navin R Slavin]

I am unreasonably proud of this accomplishment.

Got me too when I was stopping by to visit. Thought I’d just missed it before. Well done.

Edit: Reading through the Thread, I see I’m in good company

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

This is why at the very least it should have been a drive-through penalty, and i hate to say it but any other driver and it would have been

Hamilton had this to say in 2018 after an incident between Vettel and Bottas

Yup.

I disapprove of killjoys.

I really must complain to the admins about all the non topic stuff that is being discussed here. This is about Formula 1

Just when you think you've found your footing in here, here comes Hamilton up the inside to derail your entire plans sending you into the wall at 180mph

Anything new here?

I mean they're racing at Hungary this weekend. Apparently the accident at Silverstone cost RedBull $1.8m in design and development, so that kinda sucks.

 

[SoupNazi]

This was a great two-year deal for Hamilton.

Last I heard Red Bull is trying to protest that the penalty was only 10 seconds but good luck with that. Not like they're going to dock points this far after the race shy of something leaking along the lines of the Piquet 2008 Singapore incident.

If anything dock the $1.8m from Merc's budget for the rest of the year and don't penalize RB for having a new chassis or engine this weekend and its probably all ok.

But give Hamilton a 5 second stop and go if he so much as breathes on another car on the track the rest of the season.

 

[brakeyawself]

Great signing. Think the Canes really have a chance this year to go deep.

 

[geehaad]

Fish on!

 

[hockeynjune]

Now all we got to do is teach him to ice skate. ZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!

 

[hockeynjune]

I did get to sit in one of his cars in Germany . Nearly got stuck though.

 

[sheriff bart]

Rain in Hungary should lead to some interesting strategy

 

[sheriff bart]

Did Bottas have team orders to wreck the field?

legit wouldn't surprise me after they saw how it worked out at Silverstone

 

[Svechhammer]

2 weeks in a row that Mercedes dive bombs their closest competition in Lap 1 to guarantee a win.

Maybe it wasn't completely intentional, but there is no way this is just bad luck.

Just took out Leclerc, Norris, Perez and knocked Verstappen to the back of the grid in the first corner. The precision is... Sketchy, especially when Bottas was accelerating into the corner in wet conditions long after everyone else was braking....

This certainly worked out perfectly for Hamilton and Merc. Perez out of the race for Redbull and Max way down the order with a damaged car. Hamilton in the lead.

 

[Lempo]

The teams care about the team championship over the driver championship by large margin. 0 points instead of 19 or what doesn't sparkle joy for them.

The team order would be to slow down and keep Verstappen behind while Ham escapes into the scenery.
