Although Charles Leclerc salvaged with a second place at the Temple of speed it was Max Verstappen who won on Ferrari's home ground. The Dutch driver was miles ahead when the race was neutralised 6 laps from the end. George Russell completed the podium in third.

Well, the last time they did something like this...holy s... people got fired up about it.politburo wrote: ↑11 Sep 2022, 16:30That's not the point, they are just so conservative and timid in race direction. The car and track was clear. They don't allow lapped cars thru even tho there were just 3 of them. Allow them thru on the damn straight. Geez is it that hard?. so much procedure for absolutely nothing.
Better races by Sainz and Hamilton who came through the entire field to get 4th and 5th.

If there’s a SC in the last 10 laps Indycar have lapped cars falling to the back. I don’t see why F1 couldn’t implement this. A red flag would have at least allowed a racing finish.politburo wrote: ↑11 Sep 2022, 16:30That's not the point, they are just so conservative and timid in race direction.

Standard stuff with anyone that isn't a Ferrari driver, especially if there is also a Ferrari driver on the podium.
They go hand in hand, no? The knowledge of not starting P1 anyway and choosing for a race setup allowed them to set up for low deg, the pace the car has since the summer break allowed them to do so, and the early stop by Ferrari in the end played in RB's advantage.
If it wasn’t for the double stop then I reckon the pace between LEC and VER was pretty close.

Silverstone, France, Hungary, Saudi Arabia the race pace between Ferrari and Red Bull were equal. This idea that Red Bull has had a dominant car is based on recency bias with Spa
He won from 10th in Hungary with ease.
I wouldn't say the RB18 has been dominant all season but in terms of race pace it's in it's own league right now.
There is literally no doubt its a dominant car. Only some would choose to ignore the fact that max can stroll from 14th, 10th, and 7th and win comfortably.
Minus a handful of tracks it's been the best racecar without any doubts.
Those that ignore it will likely also tell you that the Ferrari was a better car because it got pole.
Because we saw what happens last year when they allow a single lap race at the end. Of course, Max wasn't in the lead that time.
LEC was probably 0.2s/lap slower in race pace, and worse tyre wear.101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑11 Sep 2022, 16:35If it wasn’t for the double stop then I reckon the pace between LEC and VER was pretty close.

Poor you. Must be hard watching thenAMG.Tzan wrote: ↑11 Sep 2022, 16:35It’s the first time I’ve been embarrassed to talk about my beloved sport! I always thought there’s no way this sport can get manipulated like football! But now this is too much…
Since Abu Dhabi the FIA has been trying desperately to have Verstapen win every single race! Can’t believe what I just saw…3 laps with a clean race track yet they didn’t even let lapped cars pass! At Abu Dhabi though they fast tracked their proceedings just to give Verstapen an easy chance to win a race he didn’t deserve with the race pace he had that day!
Anyway, even if we had a restart Leclerc wouldn’t have been able to pass Verstapen but still…why rob fans from such an exciting finish specially when it’s Ferrari’s home GP we’re racing at!
