Now I’d already heard they wore a pad so they could piss in their overalls but fuck me, taking a shit must be a last resort rather than “Hold on, we’re nearly there!” Only saw bits of the highlights yesterday but are you not confusing this with his msg of “I have cramp”. ?? it’s been confusing me all morning since I read your post. Or is it a joke that’s gone whooshing over my head? There is every chance of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted October 31, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2020 Russell does it again, gets that heap into Q2 again and out qualifies his team mate 34 times out of 34. I really hope Williams improves next season and/or he gets a good car in 2022, he deserves the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was about to come in anyway and should have regained the lead with a regular stop regardless. A 1 second lead. Assuming pit stop went well. The virtual safety car started as he approached the pit lane ended as he was coming out of it. It benefitted one driver and one driver only. There has never been a virtual safety car so short in the history of virtual safety cars he would’ve won the race anyway due to damage to bottas car. but that was totally unfair on the eeet of the field and biased.

If what happened today happened to anyone else I would’ve said the same thing. It’s outrageous. Minimum should be a full lap that way it evens it out for the field.

But nothing actually happened during the VSC. The car wasn’t removed from where it was. The only thing that happened was Hamilton pitted and then as soon as he was out on the exit from the pit straight they removed it. I was listening to the race on the radio. Didn’t see it but the inquest afterwards was all Centred around they had never seen anything like it before and it shouldn’t have happened The car came to rest and they let Hamilton drive half way around a lap at full pelt. Soon as he got towards the pit entry it came on. He pitted exited and on exit lane they turned it off. The car still sat there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 He would have won the race anyway. Doesn’t change what happened should not have happened. Simple as that you cannot do something in a race as race director or steward that gives an advantage to one driver which is what happened.

The full safety later on was absolutely the wrong time for hamilton Coule of seconds later wouldve been the call if owt untoward was going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
