OCON WINS!!!!!!

Once again Merc beats RB with a superior strategy.

Watching the battle between HAM and ALO was hugely entertaining, outstanding defense that sealed the win for the team. Nobody deserved a win more IMO. Great way to enter the summer break.

It’s true. Remove and or damage both cars at turn one is a strategy.

Did you not see the undercut by HAM on VER(lap 20 I think) The late pit stop for HAM was also undoubtedly the right move.

Did you not see when BOT took out a RB and damaged the other so much it couldn't get passed the Williams?

There was nothing Max could have done to keep Hamilton behind him.  He was missing large chunks of his floor and barge boards.  

It was a great drive by Max to even finish the race in the points.

Damaged floor or not, be proactive and make HAM pass him on the track, let Max get his elbows out and have a chance at some payback for Silverstone. Instead RB is caught with their thumb up their ass like usual and Merc undercut them.

I like the German feed, Sascha Roos is solid. With the subtitles on I can keep up just fine but I usually watch the English feed anyway. Especially if they have Rosberg or Di Rista in the box, those guys she great.

No penalties - just reprimands For Ocons parking and the TShirt terrorists  Vettel Carlos Sainz Jnr, Valtteri Bottas and Lance Stroll


Sebastian Vettel’s second-place finish in the Hungarian Grand Prix is in doubt as his car contained insufficient fuel at the end of the race.


The FIA’s Formula 1 technical delegate Jo Bauer confirmed they had only been able to remove 300ml of fuel from Vettel’s Aston Martin.
The F1 technical regulations state: “Competitors must ensure that a one-litre sample of fuel may be taken from the car at any time during the event.”



and the dramaqueen hammy continues on


“I had real big dizziness and everything got a bit blurry on the podium,” Hamilton explained when he later joined the press conference. “I’ve been fighting all year with staying healthy after what happened at the end of last year. It’s a battle.”

Hamilton is one of six F1 drivers to have tested positive for Covid-19. He missed the Sakhir Grand Prix last year while isolating from the rest of the paddock.

He admitted he has struggled with his health since returning to racing. “I haven’t spoken to anyone particularly about it, but I think it is lingering,” he said.


it's not like the queenhammy doesn't have a personal physiotherapist to work with or anything.  



Sure didn't seem to be lingering when he was jumping around like a mental patient two Sundays ago.

True but he was legitimately fucked up after the race today, he couldn’t catch his breath in the post race interview and looked like he was going to pass out on the podium. At silverstone he had the benefit of an adrenaline dump from winning in front of hundreds of thousands of adoring fans. In Hungry he was P3 and getting booed loudly. Getting old sucks.

Pit lane penalties struck me as odd today.

10 sec stop and go for speeding in the pit lane. (Even if he did exceed it by a lot from what i gather)

10 second time penalty for an incredibly unsafe release leading to a collision and removing a competitor.

The whole system seems a bit unbalanced.

Not to mention that Bottas took out much of the front runners and received a 5 place grid penalty, but if someone replaces PU components as a result of that crash they might eat a 10 spot penalty.  

I would like to see a bit better balance in the penalties and maybe a bit more consistency in others like the track limits that get enforced on some turns and not others.

Perez was speeding in the pitlane in Silverstone (120kph in a 80kph pitlane) and RBR just got a 1000 Euro fine.
Granted it was during a practice session, but if it's for "safety" it shouldn't matter what session. The FIA is incredibly arbitrary.

Official F1 pit lane channel (has nothing to do with Sky), in a sport that doesn’t compete via country of origin. All commentators are employed by F1.

So, you would need to be able to buy Olympic streaming access directly from the IOC, and then the English language commentators (employees of the IOC), would spend the majority of their time speaking about athletes from one country.

That would be pretty lame.

Incredibly lame. I thought they were part of the Sky package, I didn’t realize that was Formula 1 produced content. I expect better from Liberty Media.

I’ve never really watched the pit lane channel but for whatever reason trying to watch the race on delay this morning didn’t have any English commentary at all and then it was the pit lane commentators which were garbage. I switched it to German and only went back to English half way through watching once the race had ended because I think Rosberg is hands down the best commentator out there, for someone who has been out of the sport for 5 years he is still the most knowledgeable person out there.

As much as I want to see Seb do well this is a violation of a Technical Regulation there's not really a grey area with those. All teams know they must provide a 1L sample to the FIA at the end of the race.

Why are the cars not fueled just before the race from the same batch of fuel?

This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. An incredibly easy solution to fix any fuel discrepancies.

Yea, rule 6.6.2.whateverthefuck was violated but it calls into question the rule itself. What’s the purpose? Safety? No. Fairness in competition? Maybe. Are they really not able to perform whatever necessary tests on .3L vs 1L? Why not just siphon off the 1L at the start of the race? It’s not like they refuel. What’s the likely impact? Now drivers will round the final corner, shut the car off, coast across the line and abandon the car somewhere on the track vs take the risk of being DQ’ed. At the end of the day the rules should keep drivers safe and make the sport good to watch, this does neither.
