Frustrated Lewis Hamilton Suggests Red Bull Under-Inflated Tires for F1 win at Silverstone
Sitting in a car my dog could win in, and you can still always count on him to be a little bitchfag. First race in which they didn't lead every lap, and surely it must be shenanigans, right?

Hamilton called the tires "balloons," after Sunday's race but denied accusing Red Bull of cheating.
"When we start the race, we have minimal pressures and they increase during the race," Hamilton said. "With more laps, they go on a steep rise and I assume that we just went on a much steeper rise and increase in pressures.
"(Red Bull) must be able to keep their pressures lower than ours and that's why ours were blistering. That was just a theory that I had. I wasn't saying that they have different settings to us, because we all have the same minimum."

He even deflects like a bitch.
"I'm not saying it's aliens, but they must be doing something, and it's aliens."

Or he is saying their tire pressure was lower that's why they weren't blistering.
All the Merc teams had issues with tires so obviously there is something different. There is some speculation that the engine itself is causing the issue due to the mapping for torque on the lower end.

Yeah, just sounds like the way the Mercs are set up makes them more prone to the tire issue on hot tracks.

F1 appears to be set on moving to one engine mode from Q1 to the end of the race. Looks to take place at Spa.
Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Can see the positives of trying to bunch the field up vs negatives of stifling the engineering aspect in exchange for helping the slower teams.

Seb has been complaining about his car for a couple races now, they give him a new chassis and suddenly he's 0.011s off Leclerc in FP1.

Story about it on Motorsport: LINK
I think it's a dumb idea. It's an artificial way of reducing the advantage of the Mercs. So what's the incentive for a team to spend money on R&D? If you come up with a better mousetrap, they're just going to take it away from you.

I'm not a fan of it. Mercedes already runs fast as shite without party mode. This might move them back a few spots on the grid that they'll make up in a couple laps anyways. Don't penalize Merc for being too good.

Yes, but Hamilton crying on the radio that he qualified P4 vs. P1 will be an amusing listen.
Plus by starting further in the grid, Hamilton has a better chance to crash Albon much earlier in the race.
And this might actually help Merc improve their tire wear, Achilles heel.

Everyone has a party mode on the engine now. Merc won't be the only team hurt by this. Williams probably will be.
Wear and tear on the engine will be greater so expect more failures and grid spot penalties in the long run. Defending potential passes will be a lot easier as well.

My boy Russell won't be making it to Q2 anymore.

Saw George said that was going to be a challenge this weekend anyway.
Toto releasing some cryptic statement this afternoon as well. Everyone keeps thinking he and Stroll are going to build Racing Point Force Martin into a powerhouse. Rumors have been Hamilton is going there as well to jumpstart it.

Saw that. On a good day, Williams has a challenge. Can't imagine what they think is an actual challenge.
Interesting about the Toto/Hamilton/RP rumor. I don't see it, but I'm a terrible F1 fortune teller.

Toto took a minority stake in Aston so people are drawing lines.
Might also have something to do with his scooter ride last weekend at Silverstone as well. youtube
