He's on mediums isn't he?

Yep, but now they can put a shiny new set on.

 

[hamchan]

I did think Verstappen was a bit overzealous trying to squeeze down the inside in turn 1. It didn't seem like it provided him any advantage for the risk.

 

[DrM]

Magnussen has injured ankle. This would be interesting situation if he had to skip Monza. Renault reserve driver is currently in Manor....

 

[Gareth Bale]

Seems a bit unfortunate for all concerned

Vettel could have left more space, but can he see Verstappen in his mirrors? Should he expect to need to leave more room, or should he be focused on staying ahead of Raikkonen going into eau rouge and therefore not leaving any more than he think he needs to? Should Verstappen be diving in when there's minimal room after a poor getaway?

I think only Raikkonen comes out clean

 

[Upinsmoke]

Still think racing incident.

Max probably just played F1 2016 too much lately and still had those crazy start manouvers with the evasive AI in mind...

He must of had an early copy then as he's been driving like this all season.

 

[NewDust]

Verstappen would never have been able to hold that tight inside line.

Seemed to pretty well, until he got tapped, so we'll never know. If/would have no place in sports.

 

[Staab]

Verstappen shouldn't have dived in there, he did not have enough room and was lucky Kimi left him any to start with, as can be confirmed by Max being all 4 wheels on the kerb.

Vettel did turn in too tightly but he was ahead and thought Kimi had room.

Kimi not one bit to blame there.

 

[Tempy]

Duct tape saves the day.

Magnussen has injured ankle. This would be interesting situation if he had to skip Monza. Renault reserve driver is currently in Manor....

I hear Maldonado needs a drive...

 

[nny]

Go, duck tape!

 

[Aiii]

Oh please, if you can't handle people suggesting that your favourite driver might be wrong you should try watching a solo sport instead, like Tennis.

Verstappen did his move thinking that the car in front of him would get out of the way (like he always does). It's up to the car behind to slow down enough to make the turn without playing bumper cars.

His lack of patience punished him this time, move on and learn something from it.

I am the one not blaming anyone and calling it a racing incident. Lots of people are trying to blame either Vettel or Verstappen because of whatever preference they have. Both saw a valid opening to get ahead, and there was nothing Kimi could do.

If you can't handle what I say, or don't want to read it, put me on ignore.

Maybe he helped Codemasters develop AI behavior modes

 

[Jezbollah]

As much as I like Max, Vettel was driving to ensure two drivers had enough room around that corner, not for three. Max was going for a gap that was there but quickly closed off.

 

[Lemonte]

.

So who will drive Renault next race if KMag is unable? Vandoorne?

 

[ChubbleDucks]

No, Vettel took a perfect line. He presumed Kimi had room but nobhead max came storming through.

Max was already alongside kimi.
Kimi would have given room for max and no incident would have occurred.
Vettel cut across assuming kimi could move to his right.

Racing incident.

Thanks for this, damn what a start

Renault could pay Manor, take Ocon back and Manor could go back to Haryanto!

Would be good if they played this at the start/finish line for an SC start.

Oh god that would be perfect, hahaha.

Max was off the track and cutting the corner.

 

[hamchan]

Looking at it again it's a racing incident for sure. Can't expect Vettel to account for another car in the inside and Max, even if I don't think it was smart, is certainly allowed to try and take that inside line.

Poor Kimi lol.

 

[EarsOfASnake]

Wait. Do they not restart from the grid?

 

[Jezbollah]

Wait. Do they not restart from the grid?

It's a rolling start, I think.

 

[mclem]

gotta love this vettel-redbull drama

I'm waiting for Max to march down to the Ferrari garage to demand answers from Arrivabene... then for Vettel to find himself in Haas for the remainder of the season.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

So who will drive Renault next race if KMag is unable? Vandoorne?

Ocon.

Rio returns for Manor.

 

[ReadingRambo]

Kim's on board of the start is most damning to Vettel.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Racing incident.

Thing is, it's always a bloody racing incident with Max Verstappen. He's the blue eye, new golden boy and has been labelled future world champion by every media outlet, it seems he's immune to criticism yet a lot of these incidents are avoidable and he's still very reckless. Thinking back to the race where he kept changing racing position in front of Kimi.

 

[paskowitz]

Vettel couldn't anthicipate what was happening on the inside of the corner. I'm sure he couldn't see Verstappen on the inside of Raikkonen. Verstappen was unable to anthicipate Vettel turning in on the outside and the result was Raikkonen being squeezed. Racing incident.

Vettel hit Rai before Ver hit Rai. Ver's move was dumb but Vettel's was dumberer.

Silverstone 2014 had a grid restart after a red flag, I guess they changed the rules?

 

[Par Score]

ROS going for Mediums.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Rosberg on mediums tyes? He will do the entire race without going to the pit?

 

[kmag]

Hamilton's essentially in 3rd already. Hulk and Fernando are out of place relative to their cars performance.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Rosberg on mediums tyes? He will do the entire race without going to the pit?

Surely Lewis would have stayed on the medium tyre if that was possible...?

 

[DrM]

Rosberg on mediums tyes? He will do the entire race without going to the pit?

They have data from Lewis first stint

 

[Elvin Atombender]

Silverstone 2014 had a grid restart after a red flag, I guess they changed the rules?

That was red-flagged after half a lap or so.

 

[nekkid]

Surely Lewis would have stayed on the medium tyre if that was possible...?

He would have had to run the softs.

 

[Jezbollah]

Hmm. Looks like that Honda is no longer a GP2 engine...

 

[djplaeskool]

Damn, Spa is such a beautiful venue.

 

[Par Score]

Rosberg on mediums tyes? He will do the entire race without going to the pit?

Nah, even the Mediums haven't got that sort of life in these conditions. Maybe makes it a 1 stop though.

 

[nny]

So who will drive Renault next race if KMag is unable? Vandoorne?

Kvyat will do it.

 

[Gareth Bale]

He would have had to run the softs.

What I mean is he wouldn't have changed tyre after they red flagged it

I'm assuming he did anyway?

 

[Par Score]

Lewis had a whole 10KPH down that straight over Alonso. That's rediculous.

 

[Frankfurter]

Ves what The fuck

 

[Juicy Bob]

Come on, Max.

Calm down.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Verstappen again.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

Kimi and Verstappen will never become friends, will they?

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Honda's engine need to improve a lot. He difference between power is too much.

 

[nny]

Max vs. Ferrari round 2

 

[Aiii]

Nah that spot is Kimi's.

 

[chuckddd]

How fucking stupid is verstappen

.

 

[dakun]

That was stupid by max. Raikkonen should be allowed to stay in front
