Meh, I mean in the old days people got their first win when people in front of them crashed and died.organic wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 16:49Maybe the most controversial of all 1st winsPlatinumZealot wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 16:43Piastri still made a crucial error driving off line to allow this mess in the first place.

Where the f**k was Max going? Was clearly not the corner. You’re out of your league and arguing with this is insanity.organic wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 16:50Despite many claiming Hamilton was "driving the normal racing line" - no he wasn't. Nor was his deviation from the racing line "small". He drives from the outside of the track to very almost the inside of the track. He brakes in a straight line then brakes towards the inside of the corner after he sees Max coming
Oh boy! It has started.Dunlay wrote: ↑16 Jul 2024, 08:10That BS would be annoying as hell. But as the majority of F1 press is English, it's unavoidable if the contest gets too close. What are the odds of Oscar having a miraculous run of form from here, winning all 12 races?venkyhere wrote: ↑16 Jul 2024, 07:4312 races done, 12 to go.
The gap b/w Max and Norris in WDC is 84 points = 12 x (25 - 18).
So if Norris wins every race from now and Max finishes 2nd in all of them, still it will be equal points. Throw in fastest laps and sprint races, and this has potential to be DejaVu circa 2021 - Brit hero-darling v/s Dutch villain
Meanwhile back on planet Earth, it's quite obvious how hamilton steered into his back right tyre.
As long as he's alongside on the inside at the apex it's allowed by the FIA rulesHoffman900 wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 16:51Where the f**k was Max going? Was clearly not the corner.

You can’t just sail pass someone braking / turning for the corner and say “see I was ahead”. It’s an extremely illogical take.organic wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 16:53As long as he's alongside on the inside at the apex it's allowed by the FIA rulesHoffman900 wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 16:51Where the f**k was Max going?

Max was penalized at Austria for moving on the brakes despite Norris divebombing from way back. Don't see a huge degree of difference except Norris was on the outside (commanding less right to space)
Lewis steering to the right on the brakes means that Max applies steering lock, which reduces the grip available for braking hence he wasn't able to slow down as much and the lockup
