True, exactly my point about bias. We all watched a different race.

I think Helmut Marko calling a lawyer to get Hamilton suspended is a bit extreme though lol.
Tell what Lewis should have done after winning the race in front of his home fans then? Ignored his fans that have been deprived of live racing in this country since 2019?

Tom will stick to planes until he finally gets into the spaceship.

Cruise has held a EASA CPL(A) Multi Engine Instrument Commercial Rating since 1994. Took up flying after Top Gun in 1986.

Earned his Helicopter PPL for MI-Fallout and is Type Rated in the Airbus H125.

He earned this Rating in 3m. Quite a quick study.

I’m not sure if he is the space seeking type though. I guess it would depend on how serious he is into Scientology's Space Opera and “exteriorization.” ;)
 
I loved the response by Mercedes to Red Bulls appeal.

Yeah they are making Lewie out to be Jeffrey Dahmer when he's more like Dale Earnhardt Sr., Aryton Senna, Alain Porst, etc etc ...

And then I guess that stupid reality F1 show tried to make them have some sort of showdown...?

Also, LANDO WINS THIS WEEKEND!

FP 3 close. Looks like Sunday could be interesting up front.

How about that RA621H in the back of Max’s RB 16? 51g impact and given a Good to Go by Honda after FP 3. Just a few external part replacements. No FIA Seals broken. 😎😎😎

Hey that Netflix show at times is more interesting than entire race weekends at times.

I expect more carping from Red Bull about Lewis and Bottas going so slow on their out lap that they successfully blocked Perez from starting his final lap before time expired.

That being said, nobody improved on their earlier times with their final lap so even if Max had been able to get out ahead of Lewis, I do not believe he could have taken pole from him.
 
Should be interesting with a fired up Max coming from behind on the soft tyres tomorrow.

It’s a difficult track to overtake on so I think Lewis will have his elbows out. He looks in good spirits and I think the last 2 weeks have motivated him by the looks and sounds.

Here’s to a good race! I’m back to highlights though after a rare live race due to TV rights

Red Bull has nobody to blame but themselves. It was obvious the entire pace was designed to shut out Sergio. Nothing but Mind Games. RBR should have been ready for it. Lewis' pace was within the limits.

They should have released before Mercedes. Would not have changed Lewis' position, but might have helped Sergio. I don't see much after the first few laps. Once the Reds are shot the RBR is not as good on the Yellows as Mercedes.

I suspect a power setting limitation on Max's RB16. Given that the rear downforce adjustment didn't help his understeer. IMO, they are unwilling to run at the power setting required to have the speed and required downforce a Hungary. That RA621H may not be quite as solid as Honda claims.

Same here. Expecting Lewis to do everything to keep Max behind at the beginning. With the soft tyres he’ll have a very racy start. But those reds won’t last too long. Hope it’s a good race.

More gamesmanship from HAM on the final lap of Q3.

That’s what Horner said which I thought was ironic after Christian admitted the Silverstone appeal was gamesmanship from Red Bull. Seemed fine with Lewis doing what he did though but then Vettel loved a really slow pit exit when he drove for Red Bull. Great to see the season getting interesting.

Turn one is going to be spicy!

I hope so. I think Max will be extra aggressive with a point to prove and I just hope Bottas doesn’t bottle it. I don’t think Lewis will be giving Max any help in terms of avoiding a collision like he did in Spain and Imola. Silverstone was the point where both drivers became aware their aggressiveness has consequences. Max has more to lose on his quest for his first

Lewis’ pit exit at the final Q3 run was the only borderline speed in the entire event. Slower than I ever saw Seb go.

Confirmed engine change overnight for Max. Same Spec replacement. No grid penalty.

A wet race start will take away any advantage Red Bull might have had on the softs. But then again, both teams will be on a similar strategy now.

Did anyone see Max's sweary response to being asked about what will happen of they're wheel to wheel again in the post qualifying press conference yesterday? Showing he's not as cool headed as he needs to be.
