2021 Dutch Grand Prix - Zandvoort Sept 3 - 5

[epo]

A tyre failure, taken out by two Mercedes, twice, no wingman yet, leading the championship again. Hallmark of a great driver to just put the head down and focus on the job.

Can easily argue its more like barely scraping through in a dominant car, but alas.

Stop this kiddo behaviour dude.

You guys really have issues if you cant handle seeing team orders.

No need to argue I guess. Only Merc team order triggers them, but they are happy with what RB does because it helps Lord Max.

So tell me, what teamorder helped Max? And why are you calling him Lord?

Earlier in the season, Perez was pitted out of points position to get a fastest lap attempt just to take a point away from Lewis

Amen brother, amen.

Today we have witnessed the rise of Verstappen.

Most beautiful F1 race ever, IMHO.
(even Toto agreed)

Can easily argue its more like ..

you’ll just have to wait for that 100th win.

I won't be able to celebrate that! You must be crazy. I will get stoned to death in here. lol

Anyway.. I love this track. The atmosphere was awesome. Might be a bit of Covid concern, but if things clear up next year I wouldn't mind visiting.

In regards to the Norris/Perez battle I feel like most of the blame goes on Norris. However, Perez does have some blame since it feels like he thinks he is entitled to half of the track going around outside. For me, if you go around the outside, you should on the exit touch the outside kerbs and use all of the track. Perez does turn somewhat acutely and it's not before we get contact he ends on the outside kerb. So he could've done more, imo. But yeah, mostly on Norris on that one.

I do like that Rosberg doesn't sugarcoat things. When most people complements Perez on the Sunday drive, he (Rosberg) criticizes Perez for having an overall bad weekend, and this drive doesn't really make up for the mistakes that he did. That being said, it was a decent recovery from Perez. But with the car performance, that's probably the least expected. Verstappen lapped everyone bar the podium sitters. That's how quick the Mercs and RB were today.

Seems like Bottas starts not giving a damn about “Valtteri, it’s James” anymore.

Here's a question for anyone to answer, Nico Rosberg just looked at Norris and Perez, and he said "Sergio is in front going in, so it's his right to have space there"

Yet isn't it now that if you are ahead on the inside you can run the other guy off the track. Like Max first did to Leclerc in Austria and many other drivers have done since.

It seems still even ex drivers dont know whats what.

You handily forget Silverstone '21 ?

Not a good look for his new team.
He either needs to follow team orders or perform better.

It is his choice.

He stopped pushing, so, he still having fear to "Valtteri, It's James"

What did I miss from Silverstone this year that has relevance to the guy on the inside pushing the guy on the outside off the track on the exit of a corner? Sorry, I have completely forgotten that one.

he did back out though, he lost time in S3.

I think I had turned off by then

Seriously, for some people from Camp Hamilton a good fair race is one where Max isn't allowed to challenge Lewis. I'm amazed Max wasn't taken out, compromised, or a Mercedes powered car didn't cause a red flag, though Lando and Seb got close. Lewis saying Max was super lucky to not get caught in traffic when it was Hamilton primarily benefitting from DRS and the tow from back markers. Once Max is past, everyone knows Hamilton is coming right after and moved over. Pff, lucky yeah right.
