F1 2018 Season

[marjen]

After that, I'd actually bet on Ferrari to take it tomorrow. Their car seem to be able to take care of the tyres better when it's hot.

I also think this might very well be a two-stopper - especially since Red Bull will go with an attacking strategy and an early stop I'd imagine.

How close is qualifying? Madness.

Think Lewis will somehow manage an easy win tomorrow. He's had trouble all season but he's almost always mega at Silverstone.

Not sure about it with this hot weather.

Gonna be tough for Merc in this heat, sounds like they're going to split the strategies but I imagine they and most of the other teams will be forced into a two stop. Ferrari might be able to manage just one if Austria is anything to go by, think they just need to hope that Seb's neck can last the whole race.

 

[Hephaestus]

Horrible start.

 

[Giggsy92]

Good job Kimi, that should be his contract for next year sorted.

 

[Sandyman]

Brilliant from Vettel!

 

[giorno]

Get in kimi!!!!

 

[Sandyman]

Brilliant from Kimi as well!

 

[Sandyman]

Don't screw this up Ferrari!

 

[Igor Drefljak]

As somebody who can't stand Hamilton, why did I go to Silverstone last year and not this

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Get in! What a start!

 

[Igor Drefljak]

'Interesting that he's complaining'

Whenever Hamilton isn't first he complains

 

[giorno]

Damn we're flying right now

If the conditions don't change we're gonna take P1 and P2 i think.

Edit no we might not because Kimi will get a penalty for this

 

[Rado_N]

Get in! What a start!

I'm delighted but if that had been Bottas on Vettel you'd be screaming all sorts

 

[Sonny1972]

10 sec penalty

 

[Jippy]

Woah 10 second penalty.

 

[Sandyman]

10 sec penalty for Kimi!

Hamilton moving up the grid nicely.

 

[Giggsy92]

Strange that Kimi gets 10 seconds when Vettel got 5 in France... Very little between the two incidents for me.

 

[Henrik Larsson]

10 seconds penalty for Kimi

 

[Rado_N]

I've not been watching this for a while so no idea on the consistency of these things but that should never be a penalty for me. Opening laps always used to be given more leeway over these things due to the track being so busy, it's not like he did it intentionally, it's the definition of a racing incident.

 

[vangagal]

FFS, they punish Kimi but let Max slide for the same in Austria. Its a Yoke!!!

 

[Hephaestus]

I think that is them acknowledging the 5 second penalty was too lenient.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Penalty for Kimi.

 

[vangagal]

Podium for Lewis maybe not out of reach now.

 

[Rooney1987]

They do need to sort this penalty situation out. You should have to take within a certain time not when you want.

 

[Giggsy92]

Might be right. Guess it's good if they've learned their lesson, but still frustrating to see the inconsistency... Shouldn't really be seeing it within a season.

 

[vangagal]

Ham into p6. come on crying boy, crawl into those Ferrari.

 

[17Larsson]

Passing thirteen cars in eleven laps really shows the gap between the top six cars and the rest.
It's great that the six are so close but the gap to the rest is so big

 

[NK86]

Why a penalty for Kimi while nothing happened to Max last race? The stewards have a raging hard on for Merc and Hamilton. Feck them.

Indeed. Shows how much of a joke it is really.

Max is their crown jewel. Need to be cuddling every time. Feck them yes.

Not just that. Max basivally did worse last weekend and the poster boy gets nothing ans the Hamilton fanbois on here said it wasna racing incident. There's not much difference except that Kimi didn't spin out last race like Hanilton. So the stewards gave him a penalty. Might as well ask the Ferraris to start at the back or with a 30 second penalty every race.

Must have missed Max locking up and knocking another car to the back of the grid. Sick of these ridiculous conspiracies.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Three teams and a bunch of children.

Yeah you basically missed Max hitting Kimi's rear tyres causing him to lose balance and losing the place to Max. Might as well pay more attention from here on out.

Kimi nearly pushed Max into the grass one or two corners before Max hit him (which everyone conveniently ignored). Softer contact, no damage.

I get the frustration and there are similarities, but it’s not 100% comparable.

\

Next year will be 2 teams and bunch of children. I doubt Honda will be match Renault just yet maybe even worse

 

[Redplane]

The hate for Max in this thread. Can't have someone challenge the establishment drivers I guess /s

 

[elmo]

Kimi showing how fast he can go when he actually bothers
