Well done to Max but I do wish he had a teammate who could challenge him more often. Great watching the Red cars in front of the Tifosi putting on a great show. Alex again drove an excellent race. The Merc boys both made silly mistakes and were fortunate that their penalties didnât cost them a place.
Yeah, saw Hamilton planting this seed in the media this weekend to try and take some shine off the achievement. And Toto doubling down to basically say the 10 win record is unimportant. Add in ruining Piastriâs race and they not exactly being pillars of sportsmanlike behavior at the moment.
Sigh.
Aston Martin is back on where they started. So inconsistent! What on earth are they doing?!
Alonso quips âP9 is what we deserved todayâ.
Hope AM will pull through for Singapore. He won it back in 2008 in Renault. Would be great if he could repeat it.
Was wondering the same thing yesterday. I can understand them making a mistake in direction but they should still know what worked a few races ago? My non car engineering mind cannot understand why they cannot undo the wrong change and get back to what they had.
Poor old Oscar Piastri canât cut a break. Hamilton gets a 5 second penalty for taking him out and he loses at least 4 places. Itâs the difference between getting points or not.
Agree â but in Hamiltonâs defence, todayâs cars are the length of a decently-sized UTE, so the racing lines and overtaking spots can get very crowdedâŚand I often wonder with these things why are 2 cars taking the same piece of tarmac. Shouldnât one of them have backed-off?..the obvious point here being that overtaking spots and racing lines donât allow easy overtaking on many of todayâs legacy circuits (with the notable exception of Silverstone).
Yeah they are big but heâs the driver and heâs responsible. He didnât complain the car was too big when he was winning. Just think itâs a wrong outcome, Hamilton was clearly at fault but Oscar pays the price.
