Read the reports, all the media were shaking their heads in the box when he pitted first and then stayed out for 5 laps extra. Why box Kimi knowing he's coming back out behind traffic? It gives Vettel the clean air and advantage and Ferrari knew it, they're not stupid. And at no point was he clearly faster. At all. Kimi's reaction said it all at the end. Kimi's lap times were already getting worse before he went into the pits. I've read enough comments that agree with my point of view, so it's not fanboyism at all, since I'm a Kimi fan as well. Seb was clearly catching up to Kimi before he went into the pits, and it was a great drive by Seb to get such amazing lap times out of his old tyres. And even after Kimi was behind Seb, he couldn't keep up at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even after Kimi was behind Seb, he couldn't keep up at all. His lap got slow and Vettel got closer when, yup you guessed it, he got stuck behind the back markers in Wehrlein and Button. Kimi was consistently ahead by around 2 seconds until lap 27. Tire degradation wasn't a factor so why keep Vettel out for 5 laps longer? Why not leave Kimi out there until your sure he's coming out ahead of the back markers as well? That's right, because it favoured Vettel ffs. You cannot be that blind to the facts.

"I don't think they saw it coming. At the end of the day, it's the right result for the team and for the driver's championship - but I don't think it was orchestrated." Just Hamilton fanboys thinking it's all a conspiracy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted May 29, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted May 29, 2017 Nobody can prove whether or not Ferrari did it on purpose but if you know anything about F1 and particularly Ferrari's history with team orders, it's the absolute height of naivety to treat the possibility as if its laughable or some sort of media conspiracy. It's not like the race has given us much else to talk about. Some absolute duds so far this season unfortunately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap was closed as they hit the back markers, they were running consistently around a 2 second gap before that, but no, it must be because super Seb is just so magnificent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted June 7, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted June 7, 2017 Kubica really is the one who got away for F1. Such a talented driver, could well have been on a par with Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso, or if not would at least have been at the top end of the Rosberg, Webber, Button, Ricciardo group.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted June 10, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hamilton should take this one, arguably his best circuit and the Mercedes looks to have the upper hand, although that's been the case in qualifying on a few occasions this year without it always translating into the race. Bottas has had a poor qualifying there with the gap to his team-mate, happened a few times too many for him this season, he needs to make sure he doesn't get mugged off too badly by Hamilton and Vettel in the race tomorrow.

If that happens, it's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in this sport. He did over 100 laps in that test, so his "condition" can't be that bad, and he can hardly be any worse than Palmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
