RBR about to rewrite the book on post-race sour grapes.

Would it have been sour grapes if Verstappen had ended up with a Schumacher type head injury?

Yes, and what if they had both spun out, crashed horribly, and died? What if a tornado touched down and scooped up half the cars? What if I sat down on melted ice cream with my bare arse and then tried to lick it off? WHAT IF?

ETA: but seriously, no.

Reading other commentary there is some rule that appeals have to be announced within 24 hours and RBR (nor FIA nor Merc) have said anything about an appeal.

FIA rules are all over the place so there are loopholes everywhere. Maybe there is some way they can challenge, but it appears the conventional avenue may have expired.

Do any of yall listen to Missed Apex? Every time they have Matthew Carter on there, I'm always left very satisfied with all of the insider knowledge he drops.

I do, the ones with Joe Saward are also good content and their post-race reviews are a good listen as well.

I like Saward, but I also want to punch Saward. His blog is in my rotation of F1 reading, but damn if he doesn't come across as an arrogant prick sometimes.

No further action on the Red Bull appeal.

Lewis called Max to have a talk. Lewis said he just reiterated respect or something of that manner. Seems like maybe be explained his celebration was not meant as disrespectful because he wasn't aware of Max's condition. Lots of fun interview back and forth today.

Judging by what the stewards wrote then by what Merc wrote it is speculated that RBR went in and accused Hamilton of crashing on purpose. Pretty serious allegation to bring in front of the stewards with no proof.

Lewis going for his 9th win and 4th in a row at Hungaroring

Will RBR stop him??

If I were Lewis I would stay the hell away from Checo... Max doesnt have an engine to spare at this point, so you gotta think he isnt going to risk too much

Actually Perez has 8 points on his superlicense... dont think he can afford it as well

I lost a little respect for RBR with this one. Filing this appeal on the penalty was a beta move. They were right to be upset about how things transpired, but they said their peace and the punishment was doled out. The appeal was a step too far. Take your lumps then come back and beat their arse on Sunday. They have the better car.

There wasn't much at Silverstone that made me think Merc had jumped ahead of RBR. Max had race setup on for quali which explains the small lack of pace. If Max doesn't crash I didn't see Lewis getting past.

If Checo shits the bed again in quali Merc may have a chance at a strategy win.

I don’t expect Max to perform as well. I expect he’ll be slower.

And that’s just me, thinking about how I was after getting smashed up playing Lacrosse. I just find it hard to believe that he isn’t injured.

That is a solid point. I'm might missing an incident, but I don't remember him being in a significant incident much less something like this.

Seb and Danny Ric hitting him from behind are the two that come to mind.

Not sure which engine he is running either. They allegedly tried out the Silverstone engine today in Q2 so I guess it looks good. If not they may revert to the 1st engine which was down on power already.

Those guys wouldn’t be where they are if they any hesitation about being injured. Max will be in top form,
