Formula One 2019

Bit of friction at Ferrari. Despite their great pace all is not well there.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Grosjean has really proved the haters wrong since being re-signed

[The Horse's Mouth]

Well thsts this race written off 

[foxes_rule1978]

That is what you get for ignoring orders and trying to steal a win

Their while team got lucky. 

 

Absolutely shit housed it

[foxes_rule1978]

Two big mistakes, Vettel not giving back the lead was one and then not running till the pits when losing power; causing a virtual safety car and losing his team mate the lead and Ferrari the race win.

 

hamilton did what he needed to do; got the win and fastest lap

Vettel giving back the lead would have been moronic, they'd have lost so much time and invited more pressure, they switched them well. He was told to stop it straight away, end of the day he could've ****ed the engine,you're grasping at straws here pal

When do we reckon Hamilton will wrap up the title? With 3 races to go?

Multi-21 Seb, Multi-21. 

 

Justice finally being served.

I thought all this team order bullsh1t was meant to be stopped? Nice to see drivers step up and say no. They shiuld all do it and race properly.

[iamafox]

I knew from the moment the race started that Ferrari would balls it up, back to their usual ways I guess

Yes but why are they planning on switching cars in the first few laps? Wait until later like Merc did last year

[Stinkenzo]

Either way Ferrari didn't lose the race directly to their team orders, however they need to put a stop to being able to pit under the VSC

Honestly think if they'd have kept arrivabene they'd probably have more points now,they seem so reactive to switch them all the time now, China this season being the most ridiculous one

A jump start is a jump start no?

I'm guessing he was stationary again before the lights went out and still within the grid box limits. He screwed himself anyway as he then missed the real start.

The first bit doesn't apply here for Raikkonen but he lost more places and fell to the back at Russia having jumped the start and was given a drive through. Just seems weird because I remember when Bottas had that ridiculously quick start at Austria a few years back it was said that if you are deemed to have anticipated the lights going out then you can be penalised for it......

[isaidno]

15 second penalty for Leclerc 

[Stinkenzo]

Thats a slam dunk penalty for Verstappen surely? Those before him had to slow down and had their laps ruined. If there was no yellow flag then why the hell not

Been given a 3-place grid penalty. Not particularly bright from Verstappen to keep his foot in. He should've twigged immediately that his rivals must've either had to slow down or face a penalty, and therefore his previous fastest lap would be enough for pole.
