Hamilton radio - Did I have magic on?

Pit - Uh, yeah bud. Yeah, just knocked it on.

Hamilton - I could have sworn I turned it off.

Pit - Yeah, you did, but knocked it on with the upshift.

Wtf is magic mode?

I love the smell of smoked Ham .... and Bottas beat him! Has Toto been on yet?

Heats the brakes to warm the tyres.

Overheats the brakes if you accidentally turn it on when you don't want it

 

[Mr Jack]

If there's not enough for the fuel sample, yes.

It's only in Quali when you have to manage the lap back to the pits.

Ta.

 

[Feek]

Sounds like Ham had the wrong brake setting on the car!

Jesus. His fault?

Well nobody else is in the cockpit with him.

 

[Flibster]

Brake Magic - Changes the brake balance forward, sets ERS to full recovery - maximum brake heating essentially and the brake balance all over the shop.

 

[JRS]

Genuinely hilarious. That easily raised this race from a 0 to a 5.

 

[Flibster]

Damn, not fuel, just mechanical fail for Perez stopping that soon post chequered flag. Almost had to retire the car.

Worth the risk though.

Whats all the Ferrari stuff flashed up on the podiums, very confusing.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Well nobody else is in the cockpit with him.

point is, it wasn't due to him breaking but cooking his breaks earlier on

It's the name of the sparking wine supplier. Also the most reliable way to get Ferrari regularly onto the podium this year.

Crazy race - but the best result for the championship. Would have been unfortunate for Lewis to get a free 25 points.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Paul Ricard next bring your sleeping bag for that one.

 

[Flibster]

Pretty cool trophies. Simple and elegant. Like it.

Paul Ricard next bring your sleeping bag for that one.

Might as well stab hot needles in your eyes for an hour and a half, it'd be more interesting!

Indeed. He had the lead without that mistake. That’s the kind of thing that will decide this championship.

 

[JRS]

Well nobody else is in the cockpit with him.

This. Pre-race there was all sorts of **** chatted about how he's better than Verstappen because he doesn't make mistakes...yeah, right up until he actually does!

He's bloody lucky that Verstappen had a DNF.

 

[Flibster]

He's bloody lucky that Verstappen had a DNF.

And Verstappen is lucky that Hamilton had a shocking restart. Could have quite easily won without that brake fubar. Was most likely going to take the lead after T1 if that didn't happen. Hydraulic issues for Sainz hampered him a bit.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Well nobody else is in the cockpit with him.

That’s the attitude which doesn’t allow continuous improvement

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Keeps the championship interesting. Wonder what will happen in the next race with the bendy wing saga.
