Flying start for Lewis!

I thought Lando had actually got the best start there.

Forcing another driver off surely?

Lap 1 always let go.

Definitely wasn't an optimal line.

The thing is, a normal driver probably would’ve let lando have it. But this is max… lol! He HAD to close the door on him but he just left it open. (Albeit max definitely left his braking late as the Ferrari wandered through. Lol)

I thought Lando had actually got the best start there.

I think so too, he looked like he hesitated about closing the door off ... Why Lando why!!

I thought Lando had actually got the best start there.

he did but left the door wide open instead of just parking his car in front of Max

 

[andy_mk3]

Strong start from Ferrari, hope they can look after the tyres.

 

[Stu999]

Where did Piastri start again? 5th ATM.

 

[Trusty]

Forcing another driver off surely?

Would have been considered good racing from Max back in the day, squeezing him. Not sure nowadays, don't think race control will do anything though

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Oof

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton's beached it.

Means he doesn't have to fight the car/team for the next 53 laps

 

[rp2000]

Get in there Lewis!

 

[Flibster]

Safety car deployed

 

[iamtheoneneo]

wahahahhaha embarrasing

 

[muon]

Max would have gone wide. Then the question is whether Lando would have forced Max off the track.

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Saves some engine mileage I guess. Haha!

 

[Stu999]

Safety car?

 

[chrismscotland]

Oh dear Hamilton; he;ll be raging

 

[SpartaP]

Oh dear lewis .. after a cracking start
