The crowding off the track multiple times against MSC was incredibly frustrating to watch

2021 - Christian: you can't overtake in Copse.
2022 - Charles: hold my beer, man, heeereeee weeeee goooooo! 8) :lol:
Nice to see it happen again between these two

It is worth remember last years cars would have understeer from the outwash running next to a car like that, so it's entirely 1:1 but still great to see

Binotto scolding leclerc like a child after leaving him out to dry again?
No words on Ferrari on this one. You botch your championship contender driver by not puting him also fresh tyres.
I wonder who is the Ferrari strategist... this guy doesnt belong not even to a F2 team...

So Ferrari tried to lie to Carlos and tell him there was some rule where he had to leave 10 car lengths to Leclerc.... that's an insane breakdown of trust between the team and the driver. Unreal.
I don't think they lied to him, just think they were trying to make use of the rules to protect Charles. Knowing he was likely a sitting duck make the most of the within 10 car lengths be at the back of that.

But it was a pretty poor call. It would have just put Sainz under pressure.

Was a great race for Lewis did very well.

A race to forget for Max but only drops 6 points to Charles
Good race for Lewis. be interesting to see if their performance keeps up. I dont think there is much 'change' to running order at the minute though given charles and max carrying damage.

The 6 point drop to charles is a godsend for Max today. Same as it would have been if Charles P1 and Max P2, so no major loss for the championship title in that respect.

To be fair, Charles was driving on the outside, as Max was in 2021. So clearly, not impossible to take the outside line and get through without being hit ;)

Agreed. It was like the new racing rules hadn't been issued to the drivers.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

It wasn't last year, either, when Lewis took Charles on the inside. :wink:

Hamilton had a very good shot at the win with the hard tire until Ocon triggered the SC and Sky commentators said SC played to his hands beautifully! Penalties are due i doubt Perez will keep second place.
Confirmed no penalties.
Kind of ridiculous considering he cut the track so he could push Charles off, then pushed Hamyom off within a couple corners.

If you dont get a penalty for that, the rule has no reason for existing.

Watch it be applied sternly against a Williams and hass fighting for last place or something in the next race though.
You could go back to lap 1 where Charles caused a collision with Checo.

Edit: and just confirmed no penalty for Max either for a pitiful display of constantly pushing Mick off the track lap after lap in desperation to keep P8.

Pitiful.
Agreed. It's almost like the stewards/race director are still saying "we don't want to interfere"/"let them race" after issuing a list of "thou shall not do" rules. :roll:

Interesting seeing the red bull pace with a compromised floor... A take of something to come once flexi floors are finally enforced? Can't wait until the French GP

You are not getting hit if you are not turning in to the car next to you :wink:

Lap 1 incidents are understanded to be officiated differently though as a rule of thumb for years and years.

The stewards literally made new rules this year to stop max doing what he did to Lewis over and over again in 2021, then let him do it lap after lap to mick Schumacher today.

And let Checo cut the track to overtake Charles, then almost immediately push Lewis off track to overtake him.

It's a joke.

They were saying HAM good SC luck on commentary. Not sure about that.

Happy for SAI.
He was 6s behind Leclerc, after SC he was right nehind with Leclerc on old slower tyres. That's called luck.
