Come on Lewis, you've been in F1 for 13 years. you know damn well doing a practice start at the absolute end of the pitlane is dangerous and stupid
Some of you guys really have some serious problems ...He's 35 years old...i.e. he grew up when Tony Hawk and SSX Skate/snowboarding games were big...and he made a joke about his obvious error...geez, get a grip.
Oh, and "black (skate)board "...wow. All I'll say to that is "bring on win #91, #92, #100 and beyond"! Every time he breaks another record I just laugh to myself at all the salty people around the world throwing a hissy fit over his achievements, like he's some anomaly in F1, like the best drivers haven't been winning championships in the best cars since Fangio went beast mode on the green hell...epic comeback in a Minardi class car, I think not
I would love if Reiza renames their AMS1 "GOAT" achievement to "Get in there, Lewis!" (or better yet, use it for AMS2)
Not exact the salty people.. but it is to easy for him all the wdc,s. Never in history a f1 car was so dominant. He must be a very lucky man that the Fia dont change the rules x7 years. I think people have nothing against Lewis. But are a little bit tired of the all the borring victory,s with weak team mates.. and no competitition.
Fangio has a lot more competition in that days
Boring race againYeah another mercedes victory next year new contract for the wingman
He asked from team radio If it's ok to practice start here and they said yes.Haha Ham does not know the rules
Practice start position is part of on track safety, and it is also talked about in DRIVER’S meeting. I will sound like broken record, but cut the amount of radio comms. He shouldn’t be asking about that to the team at all in the first place. Since team was partly at fault for saying yes, I guess that is the reason for getting 1 instead of 2 penalty points. Other then that I don’t see the issue.He asked from team radio If it's ok to practice start here and they said yes.

It's just odd when team on that level of performance makes that kind of mistakes. That was my hidden point.Practice start position is part of on track safety, and it is also talked about in DRIVER’S meeting. I will sound like broken record, but cut the amount of radio comms.

LeClerc wasn't penalised for ending Stroll's race, anyone else surprised by this?

Was it even investigated? I don’t think so.

Heehee, Bottas is a funny man. "To whom it may concern...", imagine saying that after a race is handed to you on a plate
No. Because lap 1 is always more lenient. They were alongside mid-corner. Both cars had possibility to avoid it. Stroll was 1.5-2 tyre widths wider than Perez at the point of contact. So he had outer wheels on the outside curb. However, Leclerc on the inside had hit the apex at the same point as Perez, but stayed way further in than Perez and the cars ahead, due to Stroll being on the outside. Leclerc could've gone even slower, but Stroll could also have moved 1/4 car width further to the outside (and still not been close to having the inner two wheels on the outer curb) and it would've ended fine.
