But the swing in emotions was similar to watching the 2007 Super Rugby Final closing stages. -Verstappen, leads. Perez holding back Hamilton. Bottas not scoring points. Only 4 laps left... YES PLEASE ???? -Verstappen tyre failure.... NOOOOOOO! That sucks, Hamilton is going to bag plenty of points -Restart?! NOOO, Hamilton might take first place at the start.... -Good launch for HAM... NOOOOO, he's going to win this. OH WAIT, he runs straight ???????? (I literally laughed out loud) -1.PEREZ 2.VETTEL 3.GASLY No points for MERC. I can live with that ???? PS. Cherry on top - Hamilton is beaten by Mazepin at the chequered flag of an F1 race. This is my whatsapp status. I have received some bitch and moan messages from LH lovers. HAHAHAHAHA. Have also received some good messages from the fans of the sport like myself. Vetplant and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not an expert, but by my calculation, here are the drivers that have finished behind MAZEPIN at the chequered flag of an F1 race: -Hamilton: Baku 2021 -Latifi: Baku 2021, -M Schumacher: Monaco 2021 Not a very long list.... ????

Yeah that list is not far off. Russel also technically had a DNF yesterday but I think maybe laps completed throws things off a bit and Latifi had that stop and go story so I think the team just pulled both cars tbh. But still, Mazepin has basically finished last every race. Mick had some issue at Monaco and had to pit extra but was consistently quicker. I heard Mazepin was complaining that the FIA are nailing him for transgressions but the top guys are doing the same and getting away with it, he's not wrong tbh but he has a target on his back. Lets just hope the Russian mafia don't get involved????. Also, Mazepin has less penalty points than a lot of drivers, Norris is the naughtiest of everyone according to the points system but we let that slide????.

Baku, the country that was ranked 49/49 worst place to live as a LGPTQ.. They should really stop this PR stuff, if the team actually supports the right, either boycott the race or make a statement before the race about the country they forced to race in. Its just so painful to watch. Like come on, how much can you really support pride if you race in Saudi this year.. VID-20210607-WA0027.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo it shows with Maz, he seems unable to tame the car or get it in a window he likes, something a lesser f2 team would not be able to do as well as a better f2 team. MSC manages that far quicker, easier. He's obviously very methodical in his approach in setting up the car to his liking and is problem solver. It shows on the onboards. the car seems more manageable in msc's hands. on a knife edge in Maz's. People also seem to forget or not know that MAZ's dad (like Stroll's) rented out tracks all over Europe...as well as Mercedes f1 cars for him to test in prep for formula 1. Maybe he got too used to how easy those are to drive haha... I'm sure he'll do better in a better team...like most drivers. But at this stage he's failing to impress anyone. There are better f2 drivers that deserved that seat more. Historically Msc has also only gotten better as he learned...so Maz will be up against it sooner rather than later imo.

Verstappen crashed before completing lap 46 Perez led for laps 47 and 48 when the red flag came out Lap 49 under safety car from the pits Laps 50 and 51 under race conditions. So my calculations the result should have been the positions at the end of lap 47, but I've been know to be completely wrong as well ????

Pure Savage Posted June 18, 2021 Share So Perilli has come out and said not debris and not manufacture defect, just fairies that caused 2 tyre failures. Hamilton and Vetel had cuts in their rear rights as well. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see Lando's interview thing on it? Had Max veered off to his left instead of the right, he would have hit a concrete barrier that was stuck out at an angle. The result would probably have been a lot worse than him kicking the tyre and everyone making funny memes. EDIT: I will try find the article with the pics but here is something in the mean time. https://www.gpblog.com/en/videos/86435/norris-on-verstappen-crash-could-have-been-a-lot-worse.html Edited June 18, 2021 by Long Wheel Base Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
