havent watched replays, but I think Checo should have given position back.

A 5 sec penalty is customary when a position is gained that can't be given back.

Just got caught up with the race. What an amazing race!
Question: If Mercedes had brought Hamilton in as soon as he had that 19 second gap to the first of the Ferraris and they hadn't botched the pitstop, would he have come out ahead of both Ferraris with a chance to win the race? I didn't understand why Mercedes kept Hamilton on those Medium tires in that first stint for so long. This was Hamilton's best chance to win a race this season. The melts here if he actually pulled it off would be epic.

While Merc wanted to win I'm not sure their strategy was ever to really go for the win. They went for best result.

The only reason to keep him out at that point was to put him on soft tires as the announcers alluded to. Putting him on hard tires completely nullified the benefit of keeping him out that long, even before the safety car.

It would’ve been close. I think they kept him out bc he kept saying his tires were still good. He was matching LEC’s pace until his last 2 laps on the meds…then LEC got his hards lit up and the gap started to shrink.

He just can’t help himself:

Race of the year so far - incredible.
The final bit of wheel to wheel racing at the end is why F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport.

Nah, he really didn't. He said he didn't like the push.
Bucky is far from a jock rider of Ham or Merc.

I didn't say he was jockriding anyone, just that his critique was invalid. It is.
Posted on 7/3/22 at 6:27 pm to blueboy
His critique is 100% valid. Especially since the FIA sent out a directive this year on how to handle things and today that directive was completely ignored.

*which makes me wonder if Canon regrets dropping their F1 Williams sponsorship? Maybe 10 years ago, it wasn't giving them the USA exposure they wanted, but now? It's growing by leaps and bounds in the USA.

You die on the dumbest hills.

To be clear, you are dying on the hill of FIA consistency.
Welp.
Welp.
