Didn't he run out of fuel?

He does not mince words either, calling Karen Horner out for their circus earlier in the week.

He is a smart guy, had a great education, speaking 5 languages. Helpful for a commentator.

Crofty would’ve been having a severe mental breakdown losing his shit seeing the championship leader caught up in a first lap collision.

yeah same here.. i was wondering who was watching pit lane channel on F1 TV the other day.. i found myself hearing them for quite some time..

Same here... I thought it was pretty poor on his part the way he walked away with very little notice to the team.

I wasn't a huge fan of his previous work on Sky 1 but as a race commentator today, he was stellar.

Good one for Max fans; if nothing but to cheer them up.

To think that this was billed as a predictable year in advance of the regulations overhaul!

- ALO vs HAM was some of the best I've seen. Both incredible, ALO's defense all-time stuff. OCO owes him dinner.

- Surely, surely this will seal BOT's fate. Enough. Top 4 seat in the world can't go to him any longer.

- F1 has fallen into a bed of roses here. Drive to Survive coverage of this season will bring in an even bigger audience. Miami race next year, more relatable car design, even better racing. Overwhelmingly positive for F1 and motorsport fans in general. In an era when things could really be heading the other direction.

- I've never seen anything like the combination of HAM's skill and luck, and yes, the former certainly contributes to the latter. For anyone still believing the authenticity of his radio transmissions, that "2nd life" on the hards was so good he came directly in for a tire change

Great mid-race strategy and recovery from Merc.

- About time for RUS.

- Max. 1 point isn't worth getting excited about, but that probably should have been race over for him alongside LEC and NOR, with HAM getting 25.

- Was pulling for Seb, but happy he didn't force what wasn't there.

To fill in the F1 summer break, Indycar has an inaugural race next weekend in Nashville and IMSA is at Road America. Then 2 more Indycar race weekends prior to Spa. Great championship battle in Indy as well, with Dixon and Newgarden trying to hang onto young guns Palou and O'Ward.

Not necessarily at Spa.
The current PU is OK and they can decide when to replace it later.

Bubbles · 08-01-2021, 03:10 PM

Bottas crash damaged the new third PU.

Max will have a grid penalty for Spa if the new PU is used. Merc’s benefit of the rules is disconcerting.

Probably put that one in storage for later to even out the wear rate, Spa is an easier overtake.

This could have been a fantastic race from HAM vs MAX .

But BOT had once again , and as usual an idiotic start, that's why the fool ruined the whole race ...
If LANDO didn't hit his brakes , HAM was taken out as well !

Max will overcome..

Yea all those rule changes that were designed to swing the advantage away from Merc were just a ruse to lull RBR into false feeling of security.
Seems the master plan is working out.

Strange rule results.

1. Hammy crashes and destroys Max car and PU

FIA rules: hammy predominately at fault

Merc Impact: 10 sec penalty
RBR Impact: 1.8M cost, new PU, new chassis and no points

2. Bottas crash takes out two RBR

FIA rules: Bottas at fault

Merc impact: 5 grid penalty
RBR Impact: 2 PU damaged, chassis damage and 1 point.
Future impact: grid penalty at Spa for Max.

The rules aren’t working or Merc is working the rules. There should be a standard cost for equipment that comes out of the offending team budget. That would provide additional deterrent.

How many teams could survive in F1 if they were in RBR position. RBR should get the additional 5% cost exemption and merc should be prohibited from the exemption due to the above. That will at least provide some remediation.

POSITIVE !

Both PU's from MAX and Checo are been damaged by the Bottas crash in T1 !
A PU replacement is required for both HONDA PU's !

The Mercedes BlitzKrieg works really well !
If this was part of the Mercedes strategy . I would give BOT a new Mercedes contract ASAP !

Thank you Mercedes !

I thought it was PER that damaged the PU?
So now both cars will need a 4th PU

:edit; never mind.... just saw the update
