Mazepin retires.

 

[PaMu1337]

This is boring. Gorgeous track, but awful for F1.

That's what this track has always been. Awesome track to drive, horrible track to race.

 

[Northstar]

Mazepin retires.

Unfortunately he's only retired from this race.

 

[Dennisch]

That first banked corner, the Hugenholtz, is really weird to watch onboard. It's as if they're going into the wall every lap.

The banking gives them crazy levels of grip, they can turn faster here than anywhere else I think

 

[Jubby]

The obligatory Lewis "tires are dead" then pumping in the FL.

 

[Grayfox]

anyone surprised that we've not had a SC yet with this narrowish track esp with the banking corners and how people were having issues during the weekend.

 

[Fat Tyre]

I miss the unreliability of the early 90s.

 

[PaMu1337]

The obligatory Lewis "tires are dead" then pumping in the FL.

Still 22 laps to go though.
He wasn't saying his tires were dead, he said they wouldn't last

 

[BrainsBush]

The obligatory Lewis "tires are dead" then pumping in the FL.

"They are so fast man" and he sets the fastest lap. Probably pushing his tires and then has to pit soon?

 

[Grayfox]

Lewis just done an Albon.

"They're just so fast"
Well this is F1, where the fastest drivers are in the fastest race cars.

Tune in for the next episode of Hamilton radio: "They race me so hard"

I could do without all the radio.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Hamilton has halved the gap to Max over the last few laps.

 

[BrainsBush]

I think it is code language we don;t understand. See the gap between Max and Lewis decreasing rapidly. Or does Max has to pass some slower cars?

 

[PaMu1337]

Perez sounds quite happy for someone in P10

1pt is better than 0pts

 

[NotThePrez]

I believe his engineer was telling him that the car was getting too many vibrations early in the race, which probably means Checo can't give it the full beans today. To that end, he's probably happy just to get points.

 

[McLaren]

The ol' AWS graphic showing "Code Red!" colors though Max seems to be doing fine. Tires looked good on the on-board.

 

[PaMu1337]

If that doesn't tell you the tire graphic is completely useless...

 

[Jimlaad43]

Go away tyre performance graphic, nobody likes your inaccurate guesses.

I think that was due to the flatspot, so they pitted him and that should be fixed now.

Yes, and please stop commentating on it.

edit: For the commentators. Not you

 

[Dennisch]

Even though there isn't much action going on, I can't sit still anymore and I have a higher than usual heart rate.

 

[NotThePrez]

I know this track isn't good for overtaking, but how is Stroll still stuck behind Russell?!

 

[Grayfox]

The ol' AWS graphic showing "Code Red!" colors though Max seems to be doing fine. Tires looked good on the on-board.

Should be renamed to the "Hamilton Tire Wear Indicator"
Tires are Red, Bono my tires are gone.
Nek Minnit Lewis Hamilton gets fastest lap.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

"Is he complaining about something or what?" 😅

 

[Dennisch]

Is he complaining about anything?

Ooeeh

 

[Grayfox]

If lewis pits for fastest lap, Max can also pit since they have a set of softs IIRC.

Probably won't risk it though

 

[Fat Tyre]

Meh, 2/10 race for me.
