I care as much as everyone (yourself included) was discussing the performance of Perez’s Red Bull and it is disingenuous to not include that it reportedly had “floor damage” to some degree. Beyond that, I don’t care. If you watch closely, I have no sacred cows, favorite drivers, or favorite teams. |

But after rewatching the video, it almost looks like Russell got target fixation and didn't react even thought there was adequate space to do so. "He didn't do that on previous laps" seems like a cop-out. idk Braking a little earlier and trying to get the guy who is faster behind you to brake earlier and disrupt his line is not an unheard of technique in racing. In karting it's fairly common, and every F1 driver grew up and honed their skills in karting. Do it in the right spot, before a long straight and you may effect their exit speed enough to reduce their overall speed at the end of the following straight. The problem is it only works for a lap or two, the guy behind will figure it out quickly, adjust and find a way past you. Unless of course it's the last lap or two of a race, then it might work.....Alonso knew exactly what he was doing, Russell wasn't expecting it at that moment, and it caused him to crash. Not sure it should be penalized, but its a good way to get your ass kicked after the race in just about every garage except for F1. |

Late to the party but I think this was a fun race, battles from front to back.
Really was pulling for Carlos what a year the dude has had. It was also nice to see a team that cares about the team. Charles not even letting Carlos get out of the car to congratulate him was a cool moment with everything going on. My fantasy team got wrecked but it was fun. |

If that had let go in front of a garage, it certainly looks like enough debris is being ejected to actually hurt someone. |

There is a pretty good view from Max’s in car camera (which is looking backwards as soon as the fire started). They leave it running for a while in the pits and you get a pretty extended view of the carnage. I’m not sure we would be able to tell anything, but if I get a chance I’ll grab some screenshots. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By chaas67: I gave a question on the redbull brake incident, Max was upset they had him pit, i believe due to the danger presented to the pit crew had the ‘explosion’ happened just a few moments later but what should the protocol have been? Leave it on the side of the track and deal with it there or something else? Marshals have the necessary fire extinguishers I don’t know what max was really upset about. I think on the moment the fact that his race and incredible streak of win was being interrupted by such a trivial thing must have frustrated him a lot. I don’t think even him expected this « explosion » we saw in the pit lane entry. I also believe drivers prefer bringing the car back generally because I think they are more confident in the engineers rather than marshals to put a small brake fire out , without potentially damaging some limited parts/component on their car |
