Brazil F1 might contain spoilers
« on: 11 November 2018, 10:39:48 »

I enjoyed quali.

Got to say I was surprised the stewards didn't penalise Hamilton for being in the way of a faster car(s). They were both on out laps so it was OK?

Vettels incident with the weighbridge was bizarre. The fellow operating it looked like a Mexican just emerging from his siesta and not someone switched on. It was a crucial moment for Ferarri. I know the stewards can and do bring folk in randomly for obvious anti cheating reasons but I had some sympathy with Vettel. Not sure what he was doing when it came to time to go though. ;D

There I never thought I would say something agin Lewis and For Seb in one post.

Bring on the race at daft o'clock tonight

Thought the heat from the blast would have done that by now. ;)

From what I understand, drivers are told to beware if someone is coming up behind them on a flying lap, and drivers also have an understanding not to go flat out, on an out lap when approaching other cars from behind. So Hamilton wasn't expecting what happened, particularly with the Williams.

With the Ferrari, he wasn't sure which way Kimi wanted to go and wasn't sure what to do apparently.
As for Vettel, he should have been disqualified from the weekend on the spot. All drivers know the routine when the computer randomly calls them to the weighbridge.
He should have immediately switched off his engine, but yet again his arrogance decided that he was in a big hurry, so the rules needn't apply to him. The guy at the front was constantly signalling him to cut his engine but he wouldn't do it.
The car couldn't be weighed accurately because his engine was running, so its eligibility to compete couldn't be ascertained, therefore it should have been immediately excluded.
He then proceeded to destroy the pads on the weighing device when he drove off them, thus meaning no other cars could be weighed afterwards.
If this was accidental then I suppose the fine imposed could be punishment enough for that.
A conspiracy theorist might suggest though the Ferraris were running under weight and didn't want to be weighed.
The very least that should have happened was that the Ferraris weren't allowed to take any further part until they had been weighed.
If that wasn't possible due to Vettel wrecking the weighing device, then that would have been their own fault.

I suspect they might nick the race due to their tyre tactics during qualifying, but you can never rule Hamilton out as long as he isn't at a huge disadvantage.
The first corner might be very interesting.  :)

No doubt he was stupid, but Max shouldn't have put himself in the position to be so easily taken out of the lead. I would think he learned a lesson yesterday.  :y

Next year, it would be great to see:

- Hamilton, on form he is now with car at same level.
- Leclerc with a fast Ferrari (showing Vettel how it's done)
- Max in fast Honda-Red Bull.
