British GP Race Weekend (Silverstone) July 16-18, 2021

Mark Said is a joke.

wiredseal7 said:So the penalty ended up being useless since he still had to deal with those underdeveloped Ferraris and McLarens. Plus, with less fuel, the advantage for the Mercedes-Benz just kept growing (they even sacrificed Bottas's strategy just to make sure he finished ahead).

Klosarcic—basically the wrecking ball—definitely got a gift there, but you can't just hand out a +10 second penalty when we're talking about a championship fight. On top of that, they can just pit whenever they feel like it? It really should have happened within the first 10 laps.

Under FIA rules, shouldn't it have been within 3 or 5 laps?

Respect,

- Once again, Hamilton has shown his true colors and his dirty driving style. If I recall correctly, he's been forcing drivers off the track like this for several years now..
- The stewards are incredibly biased and submissive when it comes to handing out actual penalties for this "noble" driver's actions..
- Instead of kicking him out of the race entirely, they just hand him a measly 10-second penalty..
- I know Hamilton's fanboys will start rioting immediately, but as far as I'm concerned, there is zero honesty or fair play left in Formula 1.

Regards,

Last year he won on three wheels, this year he’s fighting a 10-second penalty.

God, what a driver.

Good riddance, as the Americans might say.

Jason Campbell70 said:Hamilton is operating at a level far beyond anything Senna ever displayed.

🤦

A cobbler? Seriously?

Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner didn't hold back when calling out Lewis Hamilton for "dirty driving" following the collision between the Mercedes-Benz driver and Max Verstappen during the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix.

>Over the team radio, Horner made his feelings clear to the officials: "In that corner, he wasn't even close to being alongside him.

"Any driver who has tackled this track understands that you just don't dive down the inside at Copse. It was a massive wreck.

"That corner belonged entirely to Max. From my perspective, the fault lies squarely with Hamilton, who simply shouldn't have been in that spot to begin with.

"It could have turned into a catastrophic accident. Honestly, thank God he walked away without a scratch."

Jacob Castillo70 said:He’s out there doing a victory lap while his rival is in the hospital.

Everything you ever needed to know about this so-called "GOAT."

Go to bed, fanboys and losers...

Facts...
I've been pulling for Vettel since he stepped into Formula 1, right from day one...
Defended him when I should have and even when I shouldn't have. 😬
But after seeing something like this? Even I'd disown him. 🤦

It’s not a stop-and-go penalty, it’s a 10-second penalty...
One of the lightest ones they hand out. The only thing smaller is a 5-sec...☕

Gentlemen, the race is over.
Can we please stop with all the bitterness?

Charles Kern10 said:Best regards,

- Once again, we’re seeing the true colors and sneaky driving style of Lewis Hamilton—it feels like he's been cutting people off like this for several years now..
- The officials also seem incredibly biased and hesitant when it comes to handing out proper penalties for this "gentleman" driver's actions..
- Instead of disqualifying him from the race, they just hand him a measly 10-second penalty..
- I know the Lewis Hamilton fans will start protesting immediately, but as far as I'm concerned, fair play and integrity in Formula 1 are non-existent right now.

Warmly,

Thanks for such an objective and realistic take. 👍👍

Best,

No.

Poll.
Thanks.

Jason Campbell70 said:Gentlemen, the race is already over.
Can we please move past the bitterness?

No.

Did Christian Horner just dodge a bullet on Sky?

😂

Christian Horner is really tearing into Lewis Hamilton on Sky, and I guess the interviewer, Lenny Kravitz, looked totally blindsided. He seemed to start stuttering and freezing up, almost like he was completely lost and didn't know how to proceed before asking 🤣

If Max had pulled a stunt like this, you can bet the Black Lives Matter crowd would have been out in force immediately, labeling the whole thing a racist attack.
This guy just can't handle anyone actually being better than him—so he resorts to these kinds of cheap, dirty tactics instead.

It’s like he was terrified that Horner might actually lose his cool and kick him right out of the studio.
You could tell just how wound up and agitated Horner was. It was as if he wanted to snap, "Stop grilling me," because honestly, he looked even more frustrated than Helmut Marko.

fadedwalker18 said:He looked like he was about to burst out of his skin and fly back home.
It was obvious how wound up and jittery Christian Horner was. He basically wanted to say: stop grilling me, I'm angrier than Helmut Marko.

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Red Bull files a complaint over this... maybe even takes it to a civil court.
I'm honestly not sure Max will even race in Canada; it's unlikely the doctors will clear him...

If that hit really was 51G, there's zero chance they let him back on the track...
Last time we saw something like this, I think it was Alonso (wasn't it 46G 🤔) who had to sit out the next race.
