Day Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Mercedes make up for it with Hamilton’s second stop, but that restart madness has still cost him the race unless he can pull off something extra special Gaspode 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly his decision - but they’d just had 20 minutes sitting in the pit lane to discuss possible strategies. Rosberg on commentary said it was so dry that they should all pit for tyres - amazed they hadn’t put that forward as an option or if they did, that he chose not to…..

Day Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Paused it and went for a shower so only just catching up with the post race content. Hamilton was gasping for breath during his interview, really struggling to talk, then looked like he was going to collapse on the podium. Exhaustion, dehydration? Didn’t look great at all.

Day Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hamilton still sounds off it, confirms he felt dizzy and things got blurry, also staying healthy is a battle since the back end of last season, assume he means Covid.

Pretty gutted for Seb/Aston Martin - a technical reg that's black and white and in no world something they'd have intentionally be trying to gain any advantage from, but, technical regs are absolute and if you're foul of them you're disqualified. The rule has been around for ages and everyone knows it and complies with it. It's also true that being 0.7L short on fuel would mean the car effectivly ran underweight in the race but I don't think this has come by anything other than a miscalculation about how much fuel Seb could use in the closing laps (turning the engine mode down, little less agressive on the gas when you're trying to take a race win...) However, that does move both King Latifi and Super George up the leader board.
