Lewis nearly 3 second ahead of Perez, I thought with their straight line speed advantage Perez would have been past Hamilton by now
We didn’t see much improvement in quali from their upgrades, maybe we’re seeing it in the race. The Merc does seem a car with better race pace than quali pace.
Carlos getting an unsafe release penalty for that - ferrari throwing it away again. I not red bull that are winning this this season it's ferrari who are giving it to them.
Title over now I think? you can’t give max and Red bull 25 points when your reliability hasn’t been great. Hope Lewis can do something but I doubt it
As the race is now 2 stop, Hamilton has put on the hards like Verstappen, Perez etc, why not put on the mediums to give you the extra speed over the hards (Ferrari saying they’re overheating and 0.2 seconds slower than expected) to help build the gap over Perez? If he goes on to hards on his last stint the track will be far more rubbered in help.
A real shame to see a potentially classic season be over by July, Poor Charles sounds on the verge of a breakdown. I don't know if another mechanical failure would be more or less painful than driver error. I guess we'll find out soon what happened with the throttle.
I don’t know but I would guess mechanical issue would hurt more ? Driver error - we’re all human and make mistakes . Dust yourself down , try and learn from that mistake , and go again . Mechanical failure - Totally and utterly out of your control .
Never going to happen unless they get Ross brawn back . I wonder what sir Patrick Head is doing at the moment ?
