No words on Ferrari on this one. You botch your championship contender driver by not puting him also fresh tyres.ambientnoiz wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:37Binotto scolding leclerc like a child after leaving him out to dry again?
Good race for Lewis. be interesting to see if their performance keeps up. I dont think there is much 'change' to running order at the minute though given charles and max carrying damage.Watto wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:37I don't think they lied to him, just think they were trying to make use of the rules to protect Charles. Knowing he was likely a sitting duck make the most of the within 10 car lengths be at the back of that.west52keep64 wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:21So Ferrari tried to lie to Carlos and tell him there was some rule where he had to leave 10 car lengths to Leclerc.... that's an insane breakdown of trust between the team and the driver. Unreal.
But it was a pretty poor call. It would have just put Sainz under pressure.
Was a great race for Lewis did very well.
A race to forget for Max but only drops 6 points to Charles
To be fair, Charles was driving on the outside, as Max was in 2021. So clearly, not impossible to take the outside line and get through without being hitJust_a_fan wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:372021 - Christian: you can't overtake in Copse.

Agreed. It was like the new racing rules hadn't been issued to the drivers.
It wasn't last year, either, when Lewis took Charles on the inside.DChemTech wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:39To be fair, Charles was driving on the outside, as Max was in 2021.

You could go back to lap 1 where Charles caused a collision with Checo.GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:38Kind of ridiculous considering he cut the track so he could push Charles off, then pushed Hamyom off within a couple corners.
If you dont get a penalty for that, the rule has no reason for existing.
Watch it be applied sternly against a Williams and hass fighting for last place or something in the next race though.
Agreed. It's almost like the stewards/race director are still saying "we don't want to interfere"/"let them race" after issuing a list of "thou shall not do" rules.GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:38Kind of ridiculous considering he cut the track so he could push Charles off, then pushed Hamyom off within a couple corners.

Edit: and just confirmed no penalty for Max either for a pitiful display of constantly pushing Mick off the track lap after lap in desperation to keep P8.
Pitiful.

Lap 1 incidents are understanded to be officiated differently though as a rule of thumb for years and years.chrisc90 wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:40You could go back to lap 1 where Charles caused a collision with Checo.GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:38Kind of ridiculous considering he cut the track so he could push Charles off, then pushed Hamyom off within a couple corners.
