Final laps were great
F1 2017 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Wrong car for that.
Anyone with a good place to watch highlights? I don't really want 1hr+ highlights, about half an hour or more if it was a good race will do. Cheers.
They have already released a statement basically saying it was a legal jumpstart

In what way? Hamilton nearly caught up to Riccardo and Vettel nearly caught up to Bottas?
Earlier I heard the opposite about the rules. Similar to sprinting they said drivers had to start a bit after the reds went out. They didn't say how long. So the rule is they can jump start. Crazy.They have already released a statement basically saying it was a legal jumpstart

Edit. I seem to remember Alonso jump starting worse than this in a McLaren, I think, and he got away with it.
Not sure what you mean. Because he's not in the championship hunt?
Yeah, last laps were great. Start was good. Rest of the race was
But the final laps were exciting
No, because it's a Merc. If it was Vettel most on here would still be talking about it.
I would say the same thing, it was a perfect start.
One more lap and Vettel would have had Bottas. Pretty boring race until the final couple of laps.
Not so sure about that. But clearly a weird rule.
Not so sure about that either. I think Bottas was dialing it back. If the race we're 5 more laps there would be people still saying if only there was 1 more lap. I'm as guilty as anyone with that kind of thing.

Just watched the last few lap and , if there was a couple more , Vettel would have won and Lewis would have got 3rd.
Wow ... and they let it go ?
Unbelievable, This has to stop now, how can some one escape from penalty over this evidence ? They were checking it carefully Frame by Frame ???? my ar**
Plus fecking Perez ... I am so sick and tired of this, ever since Lewis's first Title which was also very bent.
Bottta's rears were knackered he was losing time.
Scroll up. Apparently a tiny jump start is allowed. Bottas (and therefore Hamilton) got away with it.
Chill, the FIA have already looked at it and said it was with the rules.
So the FIA were lying !! Last week it was Lewis and his not break test, this week it is Bottas and his perfect/jump start.
All starting to sound very RAWKish.
got away with it, got away with what?
I have to admire how you defend Lewis. How long have you been following F1 by the way ?
I take it you dont read all my posting them, yes I am a Lewis fan but I dont defend him, if he does wrong I say so , if he behaves like a dick I say so, I have been following F1 for a long long time , but I fail to see why that is an issue.
I stopped watching F1 when I saw Senna die , Lewis was the one who got me back watching.
If Bottas was given a penalty Vettel would have won and extended his lead beyond ²0pts.
Edit: what a weird 2 in the 20. How'd I do that?
AH I get it now.
Just read Bottas was just using his clutch to have a perfect start.
Yep, didn't remember another race with a double battle withing the top 4.
Bottas had finished his tyres. Would have run the risk of going off the track at a certain point.
Being a Max fan is hard this year man...
5 of 7 DNFs?
Nice couple of races recently. Season shaping up nicely, but there's always a threat of Vettel stringing it out due to his no. 1 status at Ferrari. Bottas has impressed.
You'll have plenty of good years with Max, you needn't worry.
Could London hold a F1 race for real ?

Seriously RadoWhat?
Sliverstone have confirmed , no F1 there after 2019.
Where does that leave the British GP, Sliverstone is the only track that can hold it at the moment , Donnington and Brands Hatch need millions spending on, to get them to F1 standard.
Could this pave the way for a London 2020 F1 GP, I cant see it happening to be honest, they wont effective close the capitol for how ever long they need.

I dont mind Jake TBH
mmmm all the drivers there apart from Lewis, and they wonder why for a top British driver he is not liked.
The crowd in London when asked was very pro Seb.

I used to like him when he did the F1 but he's turned into a right contrary wanker since covering football.
He's such a bellend, can you imagine any other driver skipping an event like that in their home country?
