peasy23 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Unbelievably spawny from Hamilton Especially when he was the only c**t on the radio wanting a red flag with 6 or 7 laps to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaldo Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 To be fair to Hamilton I think he realises he was fortunate there.What a race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jupiter Jazz Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Adrian Newey's reaction on the pitwall was brilliant, he clearly seen it coming from lap 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 One thing I would like to see Liberty introduce is a similar concept to the Holmatro Safety Team. They are always fantastic, quickly onsite, with decent equipment to help the drivers and assist with the clear up operation. Would be a real benefit in F1 I reckon.

Mackie The Staggie Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Well for all the bad luck at Australia, it swung in favor of Lewis today, right place right time to capitalise. What Red Bull and Horner do next potentially has a major impact on whether Ricciardo commits to them or not for next season. Max has got away with a lot because Marko backs him up historically, however he was totally at fault for that crash and if there is no internal punishment from Red Bull, can see Ricciardo asking his agent to get in touch with Mercs and Ferrari for next season.

Jamaldo Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Perez is in the clear so keeps his third While he probably did nothing to warrant a penalty anyway, I think the new owners have been keen to stop the farce of results changing after the race has finished which was happening too much in the past.

flyingscot Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Got to say, Baku is a decent track when compared with some of the crap that was introduced such as the docks in Valencia. Cracking race although I put the Max/Ricciardo accident a bit more 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterlichtie Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hamilton complaining about Vettel driving tactics behind the safety car. he wasn't a great deal better himself at Baku himself last season. Loves a moan when chips are down does our Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was he left it so late to go that every time he accelerated the pack thought it was go. Now i know that is his right as the lead car, but it became dangerous. Maybe limiting the amount of dummies allowed to one could improve safety and still keep things exciting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t he still slowing the pack down even though they had passed the SC line and green flags were waving? You could see how bunched up they were behind him at one point and he should’ve went long before he actually did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point was expecting him to floor it as soon as he went round the final 90 degree corner (15?) and it was weird he held back for so long.

With turn 1 being so close to the start/finish line I think every driver would have adopted the same tactic. It is the rules that allow him to be reckless, rather than laying the blame all on Vettel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
