Lewis Hamilton has won the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, but it wasn't a straightforward affair as Max Verstappen pulled off some questionable manoeuvres during the eventful race. Valtteri Bottas finished third by passing Ocon on the finish line.
How much more dirty play can we expect from Mercedes? Complaining about everything, slowing down on track, undermining fast pitstops...Tvetovnato wrote: ↑05 Dec 2021, 20:37How many crashes with mr Dirty has Lewis had to avoid now? Despicable. Insane. What did Max expect there? He was nowhere near to own the corner.
Hamilton gained the position and max had no part of his car alongside. You are absolutely on another plane of reality.proteus wrote: ↑05 Dec 2021, 20:39They were side by side.Tvetovnato wrote: ↑05 Dec 2021, 20:37How many crashes with mr Dirty has Lewis had to avoid now?

No, the rolling restart at Mugello was such a farce and I'd expect it to be the exact same thing here, if not worse.InsaneX_Badger wrote: ↑05 Dec 2021, 20:39Should Masi now do a rolling start considering the collisions caused by the standing start?
Bottas has not once had contact with max this season I believe.Brake Horse Power wrote: ↑05 Dec 2021, 20:41Good he cut the corner before Bottas dive bombed into him .. againTvetovnato wrote: ↑05 Dec 2021, 20:37How many crashes with mr Dirty has Lewis had to avoid now?

If it hadn't been for the red flag, the teams would have been told to tell their driver to give the place back on track. But the red flag meant they didn't have the option to do that. So it would have to go to the stewards for their determination. So Masi gave them the option to do what they would normally have done.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑05 Dec 2021, 20:40That’s the weirdest thing in all of this situation… Why make “offers”, either you apply penalties (grid positions, time, etc) or not… But you don’t bargain with the teams about itEl Scorchio wrote: ↑05 Dec 2021, 20:32What is Masi ‘offering’ Red bull things for? Very weird. If I were them I’d just say no and leave it to the stewards just on the off chance they side with you.
