So the booing in Austria was acceptable by the Austrian / German spectators last week towards Hamilton ?
It sounds like the only way out of the radio issue for Nico is to call it a safety thing .
I suppose it could be argued that if the box gave up in 7th , it would be a high speed , so , dangerous .
Putting fluid down might be another issue , but , a stretch .
Both ideas are sketchy at best .
It's easily argued that Nico gained a speed advantage , especially if Merc says he wouldn't have finished without the instruction , as parked is definitely slower .
So , maybe Lewis will be leading the championship soon ?
It's not probably the way he would have liked to do it .
Good race.
Hamilton was impressive as always
Max Verstappen keeps impressing me, the boy is very very good. I am beginning to rate him more and more.
bieber - :rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao: What a performance
A great race to watch. Verstappen was awesome and drives way beyond his 18 years. Ricciardo has a lot of work to do if he wishes to be the dominant of the two. Hamilton seemed to breeze to victory despite hitting the infamous wet patch at T1 lol.
I thought the penalty on Vettel was harsh as it really did appear to show him trying to take the turn. I don't think he meant to run Massa off the track.
The British crowd never disappoint, what an atmosphere! I didn't like the booing though and I had hoped Lewis would a bigger point of it not being welcome.
Question for the technically knowledgeable here...
Was Lewis's turbo failure in Baku a direct result of how long it took him to solve his settings issue?
How could Nico still use 7th after twirling the settings? (It certainly looked to me like he was still using 7th and Horner said their data confirmed it)
Nico gets 10 second penalty, dropping him to 3rd.
Very harsh and says why the whole rules regarding communication needs changing. I guess a ban is OK, but when a clear issue is happening and its fix it or potentially retire they need to be able to communicate.
The penalty for Nico seems a bit harsh.
Well Chritian Horner thought that the information they were giving Rosberg was wrong .Toto said without the information Rosberg would not have been able to finish .Question is why is information to Rosberg Go to chassis default 01 ,and try to skip out using 7th gear acceptable ,when Hamilton struggled with his car 3 races ago and was told we cannot/ we are not allowed to tell you what to do ,and it took over 11 laps for him to sort it Where is the fairness there ? Well now it's 1 point difference to all who wrote Hamilton off
