Surely Nico's tyres will be much more warn than Lewis's. Can't help but think as long as Lewis's tyres hold out Nico can't do anything.
I thought there was a list of allowed instructions plus safety notifications. Then again Toto said last week they could not tell Nico he had brake issues, surely that was safety? Nico can't get away with this.
RBR talking to Verstappen to say Nico is under investigation for some of the comments said over the radio.
Has Toto forgotten last week? He said they were not allowed to tell Nico his brakes were marginal, even though you would think that was a safety issue! This week he says it's fine to tell a driver which mode to put the car in and to avoid 7th gear. He also said a couple of weeks ago that the team couldn't tell Lewis which engine mode to select.... I hope they throw the book at Merc, not necessarily at Nico as he can't control what team say on radio. Maybe dock Merc a few constructors points, but that would not actually hurt them.
Not the best race but not the worst. Alot closer at the front than qualifying showed (obviously Because of the weather conditions). Again though mercedes causing problems for themselves - again waiting after the race for results. Suppose it keeps it interesting.
I imagine these will too: Verstappen: I was catching on the intermediates Hamilton: Not really *laughs*
I don't think the other teams would be too happy if Mercedes and Rosberg don't get penalized. Mercedes could have told him they are not supposed to tell him but they told him instead...so let's see.
1. Start of race ruined by stupidity. Delay 10mins, look at radar look out the window ffs. Should have been a range e was not. 2. 6 laps til inters were easy to drive on. Wtf.. 3. Basically stuck watching 1/2 tussle and that's it as a race. 4. End of race ruined also. Stupid rules. If the gear box is going to blew you can tell a guy something but last race it's just marginal... nobody knows the boundaries so obviously it's very very stupid. Hamilton had to tool round losing time with a wrong mode without any help was bad enough but th u still is just crazy. F1 is a guilds sport with pipe and slipper fools at the top as this point.
