And no doubt had max done the same you would be lauding him as a genius

Nobody even mentioned max?

It’s not front wheel to rear wheel RUS in the rules, good race but you have to learn to take the knocks.

VSC Ending was shown for almost 60 seconds on the TV graphics. According to the sporting regulations, paragraph 56.7, though, it should be shown for no more than 15 seconds.

When the clerk of the course decides it is safe to end the VSC procedure the message
“VSC ENDING” will be sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system and, at
any time between 10 and 15 seconds later, “VSC” on the FIA light panels will change to
green and drivers may continue the session or continue racing immediately. After 30
seconds the green lights will be extinguished.

If this is what the drivers saw as well, then it might be another error by race control. It might explain how Perez got confused potentially.

Charles saying it was a mistake. So looks like he is taking the blame for that one I think.

If it was a throttle issue I say go back to cable throttles, much better feel of the engine. And lighter as well. Too much drive by wire.

[Sevach]

Who was the genius behind the decision to lengthen the pitlane exit, when there's nobody still around?
Some things...

[InsaneX_Badger]

Random thought... and feel free to call me unsafe, but... after Charles spun off into the barriers, was it a bit too eager to call the Safety Car instead of the Virtual Safety Car?

He went off on a very fast corner that stresses the tyres and often a place for other cars fighting. Think it was the 100% right call

How is that going to work on a hybrid engine?

[Logie]

Gutted was looking interesting Lec vs Max. Another gifted race for Max oh well.

Merc doing quite well

How was it gifted?

No point being bitter

Im not bitter just disapointed, so many races could of been epic battles between Max and Lec or both Ferraris vs both Red Bulls.

Most the races something happens to spoil it, gutted to miss out on some more battles

True, just simply pointing out how your reaction would likely have been different had it been a RB driver playing games, considering you take every opportunity to dump on Mercedes and their drivers.

it could have been a good battle indeed, but at the point Leclerc crashed, Ferrari had already missed the only chance to defend against the undercut, so not sure what was their plan on from then. It would have been difficult to get back in the lead

[Silent Storm]

So Leclerc taking full blame of his mistake of pushing too hard which resulted in his crash. Really like his honesty.

[yamahasho]

Just thinking out loud, I’m for anything mechanical I guess. Hate to see a DNF for a stuck throttle to give Charles benefit of the doubt.

[InsaneX_Badger]

With the Lenovo trophies. I can't believe I'm saying this.... But I miss the Heineken ones already

It wasn't, LEC made a mistake.

[Logie]

Have to take your hats off to Red Bull, less mistakes and better reliabilty (esp after the start of the season)

Merc in the same boat just slower and catching up to that second spot.
