And the advice not to hit what you can see kind of goes both ways. He's blaming Verstappen solely, whereas the stewards blamed Lewis. So although he has a valid point from another racer's view, I'm not sure he's running with enough information here.

In other news, Perez will be back with RBR in 2022. Not sure why it took them this long to get here, and haven't seen any word as to whether or not this is a multi year deal, but at least the knives are back in their sheaths for now.

Sounds like there is a bump that has developed at Radillion / Eau Rouge after the two incidents of flooding at Spa this year. That might add some drama, but will probably take away from the speed with which this corner is taken.

At the end of the day Verstappen lost and Hamilton won. I would say Randy was right.

Excellent preview for the remainder of the season

I think the biggest thing regardless of who was more at fault more, Max could have back out and gave up the place. He instead was only thinking about the present and risk over reward. He still would have finished no less than third and maybe he would have won. Hamilton would probably received a penalty anyway. Learning moment and I am sure he has been coached plenty.

This weekend is looking to not disappoint!

Well he and Sergio will need new PU's at some point and take penalties. Not thinking like a champion is Max. If he wins it, its not by smarts at all. He has never driven for a title in F1. He has driven to chase other drivers, odd pole and win. He is learning slow.

Yep, as some one said he is youg and even though he has matured much he still let's his testosterone override his frontal lobe! Norris leads all the young guns in matured.

Norris is superb - Take him over Russell. He is carrying Mclaren well!

Not big on how unsafe wet Spa can be, but this sounds exciting. Great QP for George, would've been amazing if he put that Williams at pole, but I'm also for Maximum Verstappen clawing back into the championship battle.

Exciting qualy with the rain. Expect surprises tomorrow yes!!!

Man! Russell really gave it to Lewis today! Wouldn't let him pass!

abm89 · 08-29-2021, 02:42 PM

Podium for george!

Hotrodz · 08-29-2021, 02:54 PM

LMAO! Well F1 is now a time attack event! I don't know how much I would be celebrating over a trophy that no one had a chance to complete for. Hell yeah feel good about where you qualified but that is it! For Max a win is a win count it and set the the trophy on the shelf and for Lewis, one could say it is a penalty adjustment so let's move on to some real racing!

Some credit for Russell to put in the hard lap, but I think everyone's happy to not have to race after what happened to Lando.
