Poll: Dutch Grand Prix 2022, Circuit Zandvoort - Race 15

[Mesai]

Jenson ain't half talking a load of horse **** here, so if Russell had stayed on mediums the tyre which Max got past Hamilton on in 2 corners would have made all the difference between them winning and losing the GP?!

Mercs were 100% dead in the water to Max if they stayed on mediums...that being said, no chance they could've overtaken Max on softs either.

 

[Mesai]

Most impressive thing about this race is that both Ferrari's are top 5. The strategy team needed to invent a new alphabet for plans.

Still enough laps left for them to screw that up!

 

[Kenai]

I think Lewis is angry at himself in reality, he's fuming that he didn't have the same forethought to swap to softs and has not only seen Max fly past but also his teammate who did change

They really did their best to mess it up too. Guess Sainz could still get a penalty for the pit stop.

 

[Locky]

George handing it to Lewis again...

 

[Flibster]

Sainz having to fight Perez is helping Hamilton keep 4th. Gap has increased slightly.

 

[Bazzards]

Hamilton could end up 5.

Absolutely but Jenson was trying to say is if Russell had stayed on mediums he'd have helped Lewis keep Max behind.

Lewis couldn't even keep Leclerc behind ffs how does he think Russell being there would have kept Max there!

 

[Flibster]

FIA Stewards - 5 second time penalty for Sainz - Unsafe release.

 

[XeNoN89]

Merc screwes Hamilton there. The only option was leaving both drivers out and force max to overtake them both on track.

 

[booyaka]

Terrible choice from Merc to leave Lewis out Mediums when everyone else is on Softs....

Absolutely agree, commentators in general are plain braindead. Lewis would have had a better chance at a podium on softs; prob stayed 2nd.

Rus made a good call there. Ham relies on Bono, which usually works out, but Rus has had to deal with Williams.

Doesn't look like it would have been hard work. Russell made a good call here.

The option should definitely have gone to Hamilton first. Although I reckon Hamilton might not have gone for it.

Thats if they even offered that option to him.

Russell went on the radio and asked if he could go onto softs

 

[Parky]

They never had a chance in a straight fight with Max's car I don't think. The damage for them was done back in the original Tsunoda incident.

 

[Goodie]

They need to stop tyre changes under sc or vsc
