So, hamilton spends half the race outside of track limits and all is fine. Max does it once, and penalized.

Bollocks
You seem to be confused. Hamilton didn’t pass outside the track. Oh and BTW Verstappen started doing it as well when it became apparent that they were letting it slide so your comment of ‘Max does it once’ is completely flawed anyway.
Hamilton was consistently wide at T4. That is just as much gaining an advantage. The stewards dont seem to get that still - gaining an advantage is not something that only happens during overtakes.

Of course max started doing it when it was obvious stewards were not acting, but that situation should not have occurred in the first place.

Very good showing from Perez (even with the SC), good passing throughout but bit sad for Vettel, not good!

Let’s see what Merc does now for the season

Lewis was abusing track limits for at least 8 laps, the gains he made there made the difference.
Everyone did it. so, no :)

You all dont see reality. It was well planned by germans, just make people dream and then rise some more engine power and voila. With drs open no way to overtake in straights. Im not gomn pay sky to get fooled. Ciao

Hamilton driver of the day, no question. Verstappen will get them in Imola. Perez looked good.
Goodness, the state of F1 is one that people claim that, a driver that spent half the race off the track, to be the best of the GP :?

In the middle of the race Verstappen was adviced to start going out on turn 4.
He said "but its forbidden', still was asked to do it "cause Hamilton and Bottas do it"

2 laps later Hamilton was asked to stop abusing turn 4.
his answer: " What?! But I do it on every lap, why now?!"

He did it at least several more times after that, should've get white-black flag, then 5sec penalty. By the rules.
Go figure, why some drivers are above the rules?

These convesations were on open air f1tv.

If they can't beat a Mercedes here from pole when Mercedes have engine and aero/setup issues then I would not get my hopes up about that.

Dominant car...
Ten laps older tyres . .

are not enough to pass. Just ask Nico! =D> =D> :mrgreen:
Nico will tell you that Lewis cheated by using a engine map they were not supposed to :lol:

I think everybody knows this by now
I believe you have that backwards. ROS cheated in Bahrain

Ferrari blew it after mid season. But yes. It feels like 2008

Good job there is that little T4 controversy to argue about otherwise people would have nothing to moan about today. A classic race and a perfect example of why F1 racing isn't all about a hundred overtakes every lap. It's about the chase and the strategy and the "will he, won't he?".

Let's have some more of those, eh?
