Ham gaining on Max?

 

[Mr Jack]

No chance that's Verstappen's corner

Three into two situation, but Max does get run off track as a result. I can see why he feels aggrieved. If that had just him and Norris I think judgement would be different.

First corner racing to my mind, rather than penalty worthy (if that would have happened).

Verstappen dropping back from norris and hamimton closing in

 

[Scam]

No chance that's Verstappen's corner

Yeah. If they said that's Verstappen's corner then you could outbreak yourself, run wide (make it look like the car inside has run you off) then complain it was your corner.

Definitely but his attention is still split. More concerned with enforcing the rules from his cockpit. He should be more concerned about driving, no?

Reality of F1 nowadays unfortunately. Stewards need things bringing to their attention. Not saying it's great, but it's better than football for example

Undercut looks strong here, wouldnt be surprised if RB try it. (With Max, obvs... wgaf about Perez)

No, not a penalty. Racing is fine and clean. Just Max can't use the run off to make up a place. He got lucky he's in 3rd if anything, should be 4th or 5th if it was gravel or walls

 

[Mr Jack]

Norris was inches away from both cars either side , literally what is he meant to do ?

I don't think anyone involved did anything wrong there. Good racing from all three, imo.

 

[Psycho Ned]

It was 3 into 2 and unfortunately for Max he was the 3. Was no ones fault but Max did gain an advantage by running off track and not backing off.

Think how we have ended up is how it should have ended up.

The only actual racing weve got so far.

 

[scarps]

Got to laugh, everyone blaming Max yet Norris actually forced his teammate towards the wall twice giving Max the chance on the outside, then had to avoid crashing into Piastri by making Max go off track. Yes he didn't force Max off but it was his bad race start strategy that forced it.

Yeah but max can't make up a place going off track, he didn't get pushed off

 

[Mesai]

I don't recall previous years being this bad with regards to tyre management? Maybe it's been noted more, but you 1-2 laps of action and then the rest of the race is heavy tyre management.

 

[Mr Jack]

Interesting to see Piastri pulling to pull away. Hope he's not overworking his tyres again.

 

[utajoker]

I think hamilton has more pace than veratappen.

Should undercut

 

[Mr Jack]

Red Bull trying something on strategy? Max doesn't seem happy with the car.

It's not a second a lap faster any more so the old max is coming back

 

[Flibster]

I think the 'Your race is with Verstappen' message is more to do with McLaren being unable to run 2 cars effectively so Piastri s going to get the shaft.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I am not understanding this Red Bull strategy. Didn’t look like the strategy engineer did either.

 

[SpartaP]

See how far back Max is going to be now

 

[Mr Jack]

Kind of mad that my reaction to a 3s stop for Max is "oh! Bad stop". F1 is an insane sport.

 

[Stu999]

Yeah, it’s rare for them but they’ve made the wrong call here. Unless Max just overruled them.
