It is freaking ingenious if they are pulling off what is alleged.

Until the under pics were revealed there was no idea. Some teams took the titanium allowed and beefed up the connection points to pass the flex test on the plank, but knowingly have the rest flexing.

If you believe everything said, they FIA figured it out just by eye; which gives an idea of how much reverse engineering they are doing.

For the amount spent in this sport that level of engineering doesn't shock me. Impress me Hell yes but not shock me.

As I Have dug deeper into my following of F1 and where the money is spent, you start to understand why companies like Porsche and Audi want to wait for major rule changes i.e. new engines before jumping Into the fray

Did they ever show a replay of this? or photos. I was watching but I guess didn't notice it during the race.

Mick may have beat him to the line if he didn't lift when Max chopped him.

He played it safe and got the points which was smart. I really doubt he would have been penalized if he had stayed in it as he was well alongside and gaining.

Ok that replay shows it a little better. Hmm.

I would have liked Mick to have passed him, but I dont think that was too bad. Not nearly as bad as Checco and Hamilton. I don't pull for Hamilton at all, but Checco had him completely off the track. I'm sure Ferrari wouldn't have complained if they both were penalized.

Question for the thread: if you had to assign blame for the first lap incident with Zhou, who would you blame?

I say Gasly for going for the gap.

Russell was being squeezed from his right by Latifi, but I suspect many will say him.

Funny you ask...
I have been wondering same question!

Is Gasly wrong for attempting split after he saw Latifi do the move?!?!?

Or

Is Russell wrong for closing gap after Gasly was half way through?!?!?

Russell 100%

There was no one to Russell's right. Latifi was a car length ahead of Gasly/Zhou/Russell.

I don't see any reason why Russell did what he did, he had a ton of room to the right. I assume he just never saw Gasly

Race starts are chaotic and drivers weave sideways all the time. The danger occurs when someone gets a bad start and people are trying to get by. It was ruled as a racing incident, and that was what it was.

I agree with Axel BUT if I absolutely HAD to punish someone, gott be Russell.

I was blaming Russell 100% on Sunday, but getting to see a lot of replays Gasly definitely drove into a disappearing gap. He had no chance of pulling off the move and even tried to back out before the initial impact.

I can see why the racing incident and no call was made.

Silverstone along with Monza and Spa are classic circuits. There is a reason they are so legendary with so much history. I personally love Suzuka and Brazil too!

You can see from the in car Russell looks to his left before moving over and the contact.

100% his fault.

Fans reaction to Lewis's double overtake

This was epic. I can only imagine the energy and excitement in the stands those final 10 laps. It was breathtaking even watching at home.
