Lewis Hamilton has taken another massive step towards winning this year's World Championship by dominating the Japanese Grand Prix while Bottas completes the Mercedes 1-2. Max Verstappen finished a close third. Championship contender Sebastian Vettel was 6th at the finish line.
Very true. Only a desperate man would. And at the start of today, Ferrari and Seb are in a very desperate position.Restomaniac wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 07:40I think everyone understands that. However everyone also knows that you don’t just throw it up the inside with Verstappen.NathanOlder wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 07:36Exactly this. Commentators not figured that out yet. Vettel needs to win , not wait for 3rd.
It’s not just this single year though. It’s the past 2 years. Think about Singapore as just 1 example from last season.
Yeah whatever way you look at it , someone caused a collision, and thats 'usually' a penalty.
Desperation is 1 thing. Utter stupidity doing something which has a very likely outcome is something else. Throwing it at Verstappen has a very likely outcome.NathanOlder wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 07:57Very true. Only a desperate man would.

On another note,
Lewis did a 1.34.0 on 26 lap old softs.
Max did a 1.33.8 on a brand new set of softs.
That merc is now a true beast.
There is a tendency to be lean on Vettel by stewards.NathanOlder wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 08:00Yeah whatever way you look at it , someone caused a collision, and thats 'usually' a penalty.

I think the unconsistency is killing this sport. It should be shame for everyone. you cause a collision penalty. I understand when it is wheel to wheel that can be a race incident. Otherwise not penalty at all for everyone. But you can't do for some and others just look awayJolle wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 08:05There is a tendency to be lean on Vettel by stewards.NathanOlder wrote: ↑07 Oct 2018, 08:00Yeah whatever way you look at it , someone caused a collision, and thats 'usually' a penalty.
