f1 spoilers may turn up here

its dry for the time being...im not sure if that helps or hurts leclercs chances of taking the win...but the odds are stacked against him...after all...this is ferraris home race and they already made their one good call for the season last week....im expecting them to screw up spectacularly...and then get lynched by the tifosi... tho...i guess vettel could help leclerc by whoopsydaisying both mercs off the track in turn one

max starting at the back should provide some entertainment...if he doesnt immediately crash and his engine doesnt do anything wierd

kimi starting from pit lane as they decided they might as well give him the new spec engine after he broke the car in qualifying and would have started near the back anyway....sooo... at least max wont hit him turn one this time

and finally the renaults are in the best position theyve been this season... be nice to have riciardo on the podium again...hulk would be good too.... im going to need a little chaos for that to happen tho...... welp forecast does say there might be rain from about the halfway point in the race....sooo heres to hoping

time to find out :)

That was really, really fucking stupid. Vettel basically drove right out in front of Stroll, who then did the same thing to Kvyat  Gasly.

Those should be immediate penalties. If you can’t rejoin safely, you fuck off and wait until you have a clear opening.

Although I feel that’s mainly after he’s joined Ferrari. He was way better at dealing with pressure during his V8 Red Bull days.

Just a dumb fucking move from Seb & Lance. Worse than Daniel Ricciardo backing into traffic. 

Love to see Alex Albon pushing hard, but maybe chill out a little bit.

Another shitty start for Max this weekend, but at least he’s still running and gaining spots.

For blocking the track and causing a collision, I think so.

Brundle brings up a good point in that from that angle, the driver is very unlikely to see someone coming from that direction since the mirrors wouldn’t help there but the team needs to keep him in the loop, I think.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > gin-san - shitpost specialist 09/08/2019 at 09:35

dutch commentary said the same thing... but he was out front and its early in the race....it doesnt take a genius to know there will be traffic coming

I think he’s struggling with what Kimi described as ‘politics and bullshit’ in his second stint and we are seeing it take its mental toll on Seb.

Fucking hell I thought there were rules against this.

There must be some sort of tactic they use to get around it, maybe they tell them to box and it to the driver to decline so that the “intent” is there. After a certain number of laps has passed, the radio message to box is a “real” message which is discussed beforehand.

Just making stuff up here but seeing that no one else does this (or rarely does it) and Mercedes does it regularly there appears to be a loophole...

The Merc is having trouble through Parabolica compared to the Ferrari... probably the dirty air coming onto the straight but even though HAM gets really close LEC is able to just take off on the exit.

I wonder if it’s similar to the mysterious power loss that Max has reported out of T2. Honda has hand-waved oil burning for power, but I’d bet they are still doing it.

I think Leclerc’s fine... he even said after he lost in Austria that he now knows the limits better and he’s right on that edge.

I think the best of HAMs tires are gone and he can’t stick to the Ferrari through Parabolica.

If I were HAM I’d sit back and take the car home in P3 and let BOT take care of P1 or P2 at this point... maybe do a pit stop and go for fastest lap + P3 since HAM is 34 secs ahead of RIC.

Makes sense, the slow-mo shot of HAMs front tire was fucked. As much as I’d like to see BOT get a win he’s already made a couple of mistakes chasing LEC, I think his tires are going as well.

Even with DRS the gap between BOT and LEC grows on the pit the straight - that Ferrari has ridiculous straight-line speed.
