A weekend is finished after checkered flag. Every pathetic point is important, let see how much Ham will have at the end of the race.

Knocking off the barge board made the car better?
It wouldn't surprise me, given that design goes counter what teams would naturally design.

The car is clearly going to be a fair bit slower. Hamilton is just faster and making the difference.


That said, I wonder if the damage is causing higher tyre wear as Hamilton has intentionally backed off.

and an unsafe release what will 100% be investigated with another penalty following because its what the stewards do, as the old saying goes when it rains it pours

Rub of the green for charles...so many investigations and only hamilton gets a penalty. Very odd. Anyway. Charles is better. Lewis is ---..now to Hungary...hopefully lewis has a dnf so Charles can be backed for the championship

This is the Ferrari thread. Both drivers should maximise to either fight for wcc or wdc.

:lol: :lol:

Strange day…once again, the Mercedes is clearly superior but it’s not overwhelmingly so. But then without the VSC, the gap would have been bigger? ( and Lando )

Hungary has to be perfect

Lewis finished p4, challenged Charles during the first stint despite a bargeboard missing and despite them not adjusting his wing during the pit stop that stopped him from being able to turn the car at the beginning of the second stint

finished 15s behind. Leclerc had much better pace again, just like in Silverstone. Lewis was lucky Max was holding Charles on the beginning. With clean air, Hamilton just fell behind. Idk if Hamilton had significant damage from the crash in which he destroyed Russell´s race but Leclerc also crashed into Piastri (should have been punished as well and both with more than 5s but FIA wants Ferrari in the championship...) and could have carried damage from that as well

Another tough weekend for Hamilton. He desperately needs to bounce back on the next GP which is one of his best tracks, otherwise it will get ominous for him

Lewis challenged Charles during the first stint and was the fastest car on track during the second stint at one point, all with a bargeboard missing. People coming in the thread ever week no matter the result just to --- on a driver is so annoying

Even Russell said it was a racing incident. Hamilton was not in a position to avoid the contact. Therefore penalty was harsh. Stewards again chooses to penalize only Hamilton. Then, despite missing left bargeboard and front wing flow conditioner, he had a superb pace. Before the pitstop he was like 3-4 seconds away from leclerc but he went out almost 15 seconds away . The worst part is team couldnt adjust the front wing flaps for the hard tires. In addition +5 second penalty is on air now with no mistake of Hamilton. I expected some sort of an apology in the radio from the team but nothing came out. At the moment both drivers have strong form. Hamilton doesnt need a strong result to bounce back.

I agree 100%. It is very annoying, this was a proper forum once.
