cosmicmoose2 said:Both the British and Dutch crowds deserve condemnation. Chanting while an accident is unfolding on track is absolutely disgraceful, regardless of which driver is involved.
I couldn't agree more; there is simply no debate there.
In this specific instance, it seems Mercedes-AMG didn't see much issue with the British fans cheering and celebrating Max Verstappen's crash, largely because that behavior got swallowed up by the endless arguments over who was actually at fault.
Richard Walker38 said:Give me a break; he condemned the behavior of the Silverstone fans in that very same statement.
It’s truly something else, isn't it? Having to step up and defend someone who can barely hold their own ground.
It was nothing more than an empty statement made a full year later. After that, there was total silence—neither he nor Mercedes said a single word about it.
Richard Walker38 said:Sebastian Vettel should just go work for Greenpeace already and leave Formula 1 behind. Honestly, it’s been a long time coming, and now it finally feels like the right moment.
Pierre Gasly was absolutely crushed there; who even knows how many times this has happened over the last two races.
Anthony Baker84 said:In my opinion, Max needs to pit one more time.
That’s certainly possible, but then Ferrari has to make a move in response, and I honestly have some serious concerns about how that strategy might play out.🤣
cosmicmoose2 said:To really looked like a racing incident to me. Perez had plenty of room on the outside, but he was just too eager to get past Russell right at that exact moment, which caused him to try and close the door prematurely.
Regardless, it was definitely a mistake on Perez's part to be that impatient with Russell. He would have overtaken him a little later on anyway.
Checo and Horner don't really have a leg to stand on here; George gave him more than enough space...
Lewis and Toto are absolutely fuming over the crowd's reaction when Lujo hit the wall during Friday's session...
Have people already forgotten what went down at Silverstone last year? Even then, Lujo was being celebrated while Max was sidelined in the hospital—exactly the kind of behavior Lewis is now calling out as completely inappropriate from those Dutch fans.
I have no idea what Ferrari's game plan is, but when Red Bull committed to those two stops last year, they absolutely wrecked Mercedes. That’s just the reality of what happened in France.
Thomas Lopez51 said:Honestly, I’d much rather see Ferrari run an engine that's lightning fast but a bit temperamental than one that’s reliable but painfully slow. They might have dialed up the power settings today, and if it blows, so be it. Michael Schumacher was a legend, and George Russell is looking just as impressive.
It feels like they pushed Carlos Sainz way too hard on this one.
