Showed how to bottle a win and he knows it hence why he was very disappointed on the radio as he should be, to only gain 2 points on his team mate when he was Pole vs P7 is a body blow.
Amazing wasn’t it. Unreal how he’s basically getting nuked by his soon to be ex-matesLuscion wrote: ↑09 Jun 2024, 21:55Lewis was adamant over the radio over and over about not wanting to go onto the hards, he wanted the softs and Bono told him noringo wrote: ↑09 Jun 2024, 21:53Mercedes should have put Lewis on a soft. Unless he didn't have any new ones.
Congrats Max. Big difference in quality compared to Russel. He didn't squander his chances. He got lucky with the safety car and Norris, but he did have the navigate and made less errors.
Hamilton needs to improve his qualifying. He is definitely the best driver in the team still.
Putting him on the hards was to prevent the fight with Russel. He could have won on new mediums.
And started P2. Rb20 was very much equal in this race. Removing Norris monster pace from the equation, Max was quite comfortable. His experience and car control was the deciding factor. Nothing special from him today, but he held on.
This is nowhere near the heights of Bahrain 2022 or Silverstone 2022. I'd argue Singapore 2023 and Monaco 2023 were better too.chrisc90 wrote: ↑09 Jun 2024, 22:05WHAT A RACE!
Best race of the last 2 seasons by far. Absolutely tonnes of action start to finish.
Max clinical as always. Thats what gets the win. Norris was a rocketship on the crossover and left RBR standing. Not a bad race for George, few errors but I think Ringo summed it up well with the pace of the cars.
Ps.. can we have Mazepin in Perez's seat please!
He wasn’t showed that much given his position. F1TV users can replay his onboard so someone will point out if he did or not.
