Poll: Official 2023 Belgian Grand Prix Thread - Spa-Franchorchamps, Stavelot - Round 13

[Scam]

Hamilton drifted wide and didn't leave him much space, still 50:50 for me.

There was a cars width though.. If you’re on the outside in the wet you have to know a car might do that to you.

What a poop show the stewards are. Racing incident at best.

It's not called the red bull ring for nothing.

...???

It's not called the Red Bull ring at all

Sometimes f1

Only a 5 second penalty for taking someone out of the race is pretty lenient. He went into the side of Perez and had loaddds of space.

 

[Mr Jack]

Hamilton understeered into him, if anyone is at fault it's clearly him and it ruined Perez race so i don't think its that harsh even with the conditions in mind.

Hamilton only understeered into him because Pérez pushed him onto the grass immediately beforehand.

 

[.:MBK:.]

penalty seems to be for the aftermath rather than incident itself given it has ruined Perez's race

eh? - how have you possibly come up with that... You seen onboard footage that no one else has seen to determine the understeer??

lol say you’re clueless without actually saying it. Always google if you’re unsure about your banter.

You can clearly see him understeer into him in the normal footage

Perez had bags of space so your point is null.

SC laps really robbed us of a more interesting Sprint. With another 4 laps those inters would have fallen apart. Especially as they would have pitted for them sooner.

Did Perez drive into Hamilton? No. Exactly.

 

[.:MBK:.]

those inters look rather cooked.

Hamilton hit Perez, Stewards have more info than us so harsh or not it's a penalty for Toto to rage over

Seems pretty clear to me. Hamilton hits inside curb (maybe gets loose ? need to see the onboard), then understeers into Perez's sidepod. An unfortunate racing incident in tough conditions but because it damaged Perez's car and race it seems a fairly normal penalty.

A penalty is given irrespective of the outcome. That is how it has always been. We know you do not like Lewis.
