Poll: German Grand Prix 2018, Hockenheim - Race 11/21

[Mr Jack]

He was told to hold station probably to back kimi up.

Probably, but I put the gap down to Hamilton's incredible pace than that. Lewis is simply coping better with these complex conditions than the rest. We've seen many times before how good he is in the wet.

 

[Irish_Tom]

Based on the replay, the radio message to hold position came after the little tussle where Hamilton had kept the lead and started pulling off. So it’s not like they told Bottas to stop fighting mid-fight.

 

[Flibster]

Only a 10s penalty for overtaking behind the safety car for Sainz?

What?

 

[Regy53]

The harmony is so sweet in the top two teams

Both bottas and kimi are happy to play the team game while being very fast but not quite the same as there team mate.

I think this balance is what you need having Vettel and Lewis in the same team would never work

 

[MooMoo444]

Gutted for Vettel to be honest he didn’t do a thing wrong all weekend but then makes one little error.

At least it keeps the title race interesting.

 

[JRS]

Hell of a swing in the title if it stays like this

Indeed. But according to Locky yesterday, it's all over. Go figure.

Merc team orders confirmed

Now, I do hope that this forum is about to treat Merc the same way that they treated Ferrari for doing that in the past. I'd hate for this place to show itself up as mahoosively hypocritical...

What’s happened to Alonso? Miles down on Vandoorne.

 

[utajoker]

should have let them race until it starts to threaten with rain again.

You got better chance of winning the lottery than that happening.

I hate team orders, but there is a difference between telling a driver to hold station and telling drivers to swap.

 

[Psycho Ned]

As a Hamilton fan even I'll admit he's had some right turns of luck this year. Sure he couldn't have even imagined in his wildest dreams todays result.

 

[JRS]

True. But a man can dream.

 

[DJ85]

Expected more after the safety car, Ferrari in sea for a second though!

Thought they stopped the team orders like that?

Just race

 

[muon]

How is hammy able to pull a gap like that on both Kimi and Bottas while on much older tyres?

He's a better driver in the damp. I think only Verstappen would get close.

I think LH also needs to get credit for making softs last 4X(?) laps without losing much time.

 

[utajoker]

deserved win for the brilliant pace in the changing conditions.

Merc 1-2

 

[Bazzards]

Top stuff, good job.

 

[Bazzards]

10/10

 

[RJC]

[ThestigGT999]

[Steedie]
