Remembering ROS stuffing HAM in turn 1 at Austria....
Quote:
VER did not enter the right hand turn at the normal point (more left) and entered the turn (more right or closer to the apex)....this is a VERY tight radius right hand turn....VER could not take the normal line into the turn because LEC was there, so it forced VER to be squeezed lower into the turn's apex, thus causing VER to have to "square-off" the turn a bit....food for thought.

as i ve said we ll continue seeing such moves in the future a lot..
for me this sort of blocking is really dangerous and should be penalized but 99% it doesnt.. and actually.. VET overtook HAM like this last year also.. by blocking and by breaking the other cars momentum.. in racing such things happen especially in slow corners.. not fan of it but its a part of the game.. 4:34.. yup..

Huh? He started 9th and would've easily had third right behind Leclerc if they hadn't f'd his pit stop.

This is F1 not beginner racing...and great racing from Lec and Ver. I'm glad they aren't following exact race school rules.

And did you see the Ferrari guy with the left rear wheel, almost get nailed by Bottas? Not VB’s fault, the guy was in a rush and ran wide. Still scary

I forget what ex-driver said this...but drivers know that there is now paved runoff on most tracks. They use this to their advantage when they are getting passed and hope for a review/penalty during or after the race. In the past they would have to concede the corner earlier or face the possibility of getting stuck in a gravel trap. |

The issue that highlighted Vettel's lack of pace, is that he was slower on new softs than Verstappen on hard tyres. |

Again, I watched this type of racing in the 90's and early 2000's. I'm not a fan. Cheers-mk

Ha! I had the same thought. I figured there was at least at 50% chance of the happening. Good job to both of them for racing hard, but not (too) reckless.

If Bottas stays with Merc next year, I vote for Esteban Ocon to take Gasly's seat. Max and Esteban in the RB would be great to watch I suspect.

I do not agree that Verstappen caused a collision - I would argue that leclerc caused it. With the present rules the drivers know that there is a good chance of getting a penalty if someone touches them when attempting to pass. It was Verstappen's corner and he closed the door on leclerc. Leclerc didn't have anything to lose staying in the corner because of the run off and the chance that a touch & penalty might save him. If there was a wall there he sure as heck would have conceded the corner. |
