Enjoyable race. I’m due the McLaren team were very happy to pull in Lando for the first pit stop and split them up on track.

Max wasn’t so annoyed by being taken out because he knows he isn’t competing for the drivers or constructors titles this year.

Also he was never going to get on the podium, so is he really interested in P4 or P5 at this stage of his career?

Some of the back markers seamed blissfully unaware they were being lapped. No excuses for that unless the radio was broken.

Not sure why they didn’t let Lewis stay out. He had such a gap to the next car, it was worth the punt if there had been a SC or even VSC.

Silverstone next up. Will be nice to watch a live race for a change.
 
I think the fact that Kimi apologized and took full responsibility right away showed maturity and Max respected that. Idiots gets thrown out over the radio just as much as box box
Exactly. Too much media hype against Max. He is respected and good friends with these guys. It’s **** that it happened but so be it.

Funny though that here is someone actually taken out of the race and the British press is quiet. 🤷‍♂️

Perhaps his rookie status was taken into consideration. When Max drives aggressively, he knows damn well what he is doing; this seemed more like a rookie mistake while stacked with a mess of cars. And Kimi took full responsibility immediately.
Yes he know full well, and nothing happened ;) There was skill involved.
 
Max’s post comments were interesting. “Yea, it was just unlucky.” Seemed like he almost wanted to praise Kimi. I’ve never seen him so unaffected from being taken out.

He’s going to be in the W17 next year…..
Hehehe it is in the second line of our national anthem. Now where would George go? 😇

The pre-race show was comical. I feel bad for Bernie sometimes. She does an excellent job sticking to race craft and engineering. Yet she is paired with Natalie and her constant commitment on how many British drivers are in the race. It’s like watching Teletubbies. Sky F1 coverage is like watching water drip. Not bashing GB in general. Just Sky.
