Ah bollocks. Great race by LeClerc.

He was probably worried about the opening lap incident between Lewis and max.

No he didnt say that, he said you cant stick your nose in at Copse, totally different

SCOOP 64 · 18-07-2021 04:05PM

Good to see Ferrari back in it.

Cheating pays

JeffKenna · 18-07-2021 04:05PM

If this race was anywhere bar England he'd surely get booed on the podium after that.

dublinman1990 · 18-07-2021 04:05PM

Wow. I wonder how Max is feeling right now if he is watching the outcome of the race in the hospital near Silverstone.

I'll bet he's feeling pretty pissed.

namloc1980 · 18-07-2021 04:06PM

Take out your rival and win. People used to freak out about Schumacher over stuff like that

It's a crap way for him to win a race. He knew lap 1 was critical and made an error that has been hugely beneficial for him in the fight for the title. He doesn't win that race with Max on the track.

This year already he's had some huge things go his way. He's in the title race but Max is the better driver this year.

petes · 18-07-2021 04:06PM

I enjoyed the race but taking someone out of the race and getting a poor penalty is a joke, if you are going to penalise someone that means you think they were wrong, left a sour taste that did!

Says yer man. 🤣

There is no difference today in what happened comparing incidents of Senna v Frost (Suzuka) Schumacher and Villeneuve at Jerez '97 were Schumacher put himself out of the race then was demoted to last place in the Championship all points stripped.

I'm absolutely in shock with the decision of F1 Stewards. When I heard it I said Hamilton has won the race.

Hijpo · 18-07-2021 04:07PM

If you are a racing fan you cannot be content with that outcome.

A driver was found guilty of an infringement that put their race and championship rival into a wall and out of the race. That same driver then gets the second least penalising penalty available and wins the race.

If the FIA can be content with that then the sport is extremely misguided.

It's actually a sad day for the sport.

Max has the better car, it's obvious, any discussion about who's a better driver can never be answered unless they race the same car, which is ofc very unfortunate, as it will never happen in modern F1.

Relax brah · 18-07-2021 04:08PM

Can’t believe Hamilton only got 10 secs for that

AMKC · 18-07-2021 04:09PM

Well that ended been probably the most boring Britsh GP ever. Lewis did not deserve to win that. The penalty he got for taking Max out was far to lenient and should have been a stop go penalty.

Charles deserved to win that race and if Lewis was anyway sportman like he would give it to Charles.

walshb · 18-07-2021 04:09PM

This looks all a bit pretentious

klose · 18-07-2021 04:10PM

Will there be any further potential penalties for Hamilton/Mercedes or is the case closed now that he got the 10 second penalty.?

The cynic in me thought they'd use perez to hold up Hamilton.

namloc1980 · 18-07-2021 04:10PM

A joke of an outcome to be honest.

0ph0rce0 · 18-07-2021 04:10PM

How much time did LeClerc loose with the engine cuts. Probably wouldn't have made a difference but a shame none the less.

Absolutely. The precedent now is that if you can’t beat your rival fairly, just put them in the hospital and take a slap on the wrist. Disgusting seeing the Neanderthals in the crowd cheering that, same sort of mentality as the thugs that mugged Lando at Wembley no doubt.

Sunny Dayz · 18-07-2021 04:11PM

Ordinarily I’m happy enough for Hamilton to get a home win in Silverstone. But seeing him celebrating is leaving such a bad taste in my mouth. Because of him his main rival went into the wall and is in hospital for tests and observation.

Wish LeClerc could have held him off, Ham didn’t deserve that win.

Busi_Girl08 · 18-07-2021 04:11PM

Lewis is acting like he's won the championship.

I very much remember Belgium 2014 and many people looking for excuses for Rosberg when he did the same thing to Hamilton.

I can agree it’s a crap way to win a race but to call it ‘cheating’ and all the other nonsense being spouted it’s hard to take anything that is said seriously.

One poster said drivers have been suspended for less, and that same poster continues to spout nonsense despite ignoring the challenge.

Its perfectly possible to agree with everything you have said while calling out the overdramatics for what they are.

They've had the better car since Monaco - but there's not so much between them now. Straight line speed belonged to Merc this weekend and Max showed how dominant he is in corners. It will never be definitive but I firmly believe you see Max in a merc and it's a straightforward title for him.

😂yeah any other F1 driver would have done that.

Bit OTT this…

petes · 18-07-2021 04:13PM

How did Verstappen get voted third in driver of the day though 🤣

dublinman1990 · 18-07-2021 04:14PM

Here's Charles for the interview. And he wins Driver of the Day as well. Nice one Charles.

Ferrari fans are proud of you. 🙂
