Ferrari's Carlos Sainz won the British Grand Prix from pole position, but it was far from easy. An early heavy crash and a late safety car resulted in a tense race that saw Perez take his opportunity for second as Hamilton pleased the home crowd with a third-place result.
Yes very interesting, it's almost as if something key to their whole floor concept stopped working. Would love to see some pictures and slomo of the lap before and the lap after. I wonder if anyone can dig out the exact moment when it "broke" to see if we can see anything change...
It entirely depends what the problem was with Max's car.
Charles didn't try to take his nose off...
Let's keep Silverstone 2021 for the 2021 race thread.

That is one very lucky young man. Glad, and very surprised, to see him entirely uninjured and talking to Domenicalli in the paddock. The space he ended up in needs to be looked at for future events - perhaps some additional tyres or something else to fill that gap a bit.
Between Perez and Leclerc there was too much of a mess, in the first lap with a very late action by Leclerc, and after the restart with some feisty attacking from Perez and aggressive defending from Leclerc. After the restart, Hamilton initially profited from that, and then later was unfortunately hampered by Perez. Hard to distinctively say what should be penalized and what not (without killing racing altogether).GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:44Lap 1 incidents are understanded to be officiated differently though as a rule of thumb for years and years.chrisc90 wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:40You could go back to lap 1 where Charles caused a collision with Checo.GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:38
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.
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.
Yes, those uprights look very nasty in that image and the first thought I had was "he's lucky one of those didn't intrude in to the cockpit".chrisc90 wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:55This!Just_a_fan wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:52https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/9 ... tsihgp.jpg[/url]

Even those armco barrier posts could have ended up under the halo. Moving the safety fence back 2-3metres would be much safer.
there are a number of reports that Rb and ferrari have been caught up with this. in a way this was why merc got caught up on the second stay incident last race.InsaneX_Badger wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:54Don't think there been any word on which teams this will effect though.
But that is basically a return to "let them race" which the FIA have tried very hard to row back from after last year. So far this year, the racing has been great between the drivers, but for some reason today they got a bit of red mist and broke the rules. I have little doubt that had those been between drivers not fighting for the podium places, they'd have handed out penalties. I think the feeling was "it's been a great race, let's not ruin the atmosphere with post-race penalties". I think that's the wrong move by the FIA, but it's not like they haven't done it before over the years.
Thank you for posting those JAF, listening on the radio and it sounded bad, the pictures show it worse than they could describe it! As you say, he is very, very lucky! Any pics of the Albon crash?Just_a_fan wrote: ↑03 Jul 2022, 18:52https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/9 ... tsihgp.jpg
