F1 2021 Season

[Redlambs]

Can’t comment on Brazil, but as you’ve said above; Lewis just pinning the accelerator and heading to the next turn wholly off the track is the ridiculous bit.

He's done it to himself with his driving style. Also, Button didn't say it was the wrong call as such, he said the rules are unclear and he can't figure out why the place wasn't given back. Which is where I think I am on it.

As I type this the stewards have said they think Max long lunged. Which explains it, but I'm still not sure I agree.

Every commentator and ex driver saying what Max did was fine, Redcafe knows better of course.

This is factually wrong. Sort it out

(And I'm leaning to the side of wrong call myself)

Hamilton can coast on these tyres now with Max destroying his to catch-up. I think Max will have to pit again at some stage.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Lewis will pass Sergio with ease when he gets the chance.

 

[elmo]

WHY ARE THEY BOXING LEWIS?!

Because their strategy sucks and it's safest to just mimic whatever Max does since they've the advantage which forces Red Bull to beat them on pace and not strategy.

 

[diarm]

Regardless of the lap 1 incident, the pressure seems to be getting to Max anyway.

Slow off the start and he looked a bit frantic stuck behind the Ferrari.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Lewis is the consummate wily old professional. Max is new to the game of being WC and making mistakes.

Max will be WC, probably next season, but he doesn't have Lewis's experience.

 

[Berbaclass]

No way can Perez defend on them old softs.

 

[SirAnderson]

No but it is racing and if Max doesn’t attempt a pass then it becomes a procession (which it is now). He has to gamble there surely

Within reason, that wasn't reasonable to assume he could do that without colliding. Something only Lewis tried to avoid, clearly.

 

[RoadTrip]

Max up past Sainz. Will see his speed now.

 

[prateik]

Yeah.. this is over.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Sergio cant make those softs last much longer, can he ?

 

[sewey89]

I get matching the strategy.. but you’ve thrown away Lewis’ tyre advantage which looked like their big weapon in winning this

 

[F-Red]

No way can Perez defend on them old softs.

Absolutely not, he’ll reach the cliff on those tyres soon.

 

[sglowrider]

They just gave code to Perez to take Lewis out.

Not a bad call.

 

[RepardReece]

He dived into an open space and made the corner ahead of Lewis.

Can argue either or really.

From Lewis' view especially it looks to me like he's not bothered if he crashed into Lewis.

I think Max's only defence is he stayed on the track, but he definitely pushed lewis off.

The overtake he's just pulled on Sainz showed what the move should've been there.

 

[SirAnderson]

No way can Perez defend on them old softs.

Queue zig zag defending any minute now.

 

[sglowrider]

Precisely. Weird call by Merc.

 

[Berbaclass]

Absolutely not, he’ll reach the cliff on those tyres soon.

Maybe that's the plan, he'll crash trying and red flag/SC

 

[Redlambs]

Regardless of the lap 1 incident, the pressure seems to be getting to Max anyway.

Slow off the start and he looked a bit frantic stuck behind the Ferrari.

Yep. Forcing that pace in quali and then fecking the mediums has done more to this race for Max than anything else.

 

[SirAnderson]

Not a bad call.

Seems to be the RB strategy anyway.

 

[Berbaclass]

Perez

 

[SirAnderson]

Here it goes, future people, tell me if there is an accident...

 

[Zen]

I love that this sport has become so cynical that people are seemingly thinking Perez is gonna take out Lewis - nice one Max and Lewis

 

[mu4c_20le]

Wow perez

 

[hellhunter]

And that's why Perez is better than Bottas

 

[elmo]

That's some epic defending by Perez

 

[hp88]

This is what Bottas should have been doing

 

[Rado_N]

G’wan Perez!

 

[pauldyson1uk]

shut up Lewis , nothing wrong with the driving

 

[KirkDuyt]

Hahahaha Perez super hero

 

[SirAnderson]

 

[The Cat]

Oh shit here we go....

 

[RoadTrip]

Perez doing a wonderful job.

 

[SirAnderson]

Bottas, watch and learn...

 

[RexHamilton]

Love this from Perez

 

[Hephaestus]

Think that was great from Perez.

 

[diarm]

Brilliant from Perez!

 

[gormless]

Perez doing brilliant job

 

[Massive Spanner]

Wow Perez.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

thats Lewis past, with clean air Lewis should get a gap back now
