[spitfire]

No fistbumps tonight, lol.

 

[a_chap]

I understand the race highlights' show is a full two hours tonight.

At the end of the day on purely environmental grounds the sport is obscene, i'm surprised that there's an F1 thread.

[agricola]

I loved it.

Me too! It was like watching some uber-snide game of football with an incompetent ref as well.

Max getting Boooed

Max getting Boooed

Kind of interesting, as I don't know what the local fanbase is like for the respective drivers.

 

[1%er]

The crowd booing Max

 

[Lord Camomile]

Also booing Lewis, by the sounds of it!

 

[Ax^]

aye its hard to tell first race at the place

Max has big travelling fans so some booing for Lewis as well


the max methinks that reaction was from Racing fans

 

[Lord Camomile]

Someone on a podcast this week suggested that Lewis has been alluding to how long he's been in F1 in various ways recently, and that it was quite possibly a little bit of mind games aimed at his far junior counterpart, and he just did it again talking to Coulthard, bringing up his "years of experience".

Verstappen driver of the day

And they're interviewing him while he's still in the car??!

 

[MrCurry]

Driver of the day, FFS. Presumably an ironic award. Demolition derby, throw it off the outside of the corner to stop anyone getting past “of the day”

 

[Ax^]

ah they tend to get on the radio to tell the driver he been voted driver of the day


its not unusual

 

[weltweit]

So I understand the drivers championship is now equal with Hamilton and Verstapen, with Verstapen having more race wins.

But what is the score with the constructors championship?

 

[Limejuice]

One of the worse races I'v seen in the last 20 years

But Get in there Lewis!!!!!!!

I take it Hammy is supplying lunch??

 

[Leighsw2]

Crazy race. Great (and just) result.

 

[Ax^]

hmm think something was said in the cool down room

 

[a_chap]

When talking about Max's tactics/race-craft let's not forget he is racing for his first ever World Championship.

The pressure on him is simply immense.

Verstappen driver of the day

Must be the first time a driver of the day has been warned by the race director that they may get a black and white flag

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fair enough, just never heard them interviewed while they're in the car before.

 

[MrCurry]

A little something to lighten the mood…(the bottom one )

I take it Hammy is supplying lunch??

That's the best thing about this race

aye but so is his ego


you can see the pressure in his driving

I almost said a couple of minutes ago, it will be interesting if his style changes at all once he has won one.

It clearly seems to be at least somewhat simply his style, but aye, he might be just a leeeeeeetle more circumspect once he's got that first one under his belt.

 

[Ax^]

haha


max walking away from the podium


by the look on Bottys face coming onto the podium

something was clearly said before then came up

 

[1%er]

Max up infront of the headmaster soon

 

[Limejuice]

Max up infront of the headmaster soon

For the "brake test" incident?

I reckon Max was slowing to let Hammy past as instructed, Hammy hadn't a clue what was happening and vacillated about what to do, and ran into the back of him.

I don't think Max did a dirty here.

But I know nothing.

 

[Ax^]

the move could of been completed a lot easier

Max was told to let him by but made it as difficult as possible


its gamemanship

Yes that's the incedent, but the race control really fucked this race up, Max was clearly told but was Lewis? It seems not
