This is the difference between Lewis and Russell.

Russell makes the strategy call!!

Lewis just lets it happen .... and complains when it is not going his way.
He is (according to some) the GOAT. HE should make the call! Russell did! Who was smarter??

When you think the LH44 cult can't go lower:
They now manipulate the sound files to let people believe Tsunoda (Alpha Tauri) stopped on track, to trigger a VSC.

The evidence that it was manipulated.

We really need to know what failed on Tsunoda's car. Just because he thought it was a loose wheel (kinda logical since it happened on the out lap) it doesn't mean that was exactly the problem. Especially that he was limping even after the second tire change so it probably wasn't a loose wheel to begin with.

Ha CultLH are so fucking stupid.

Yesterday they said Lewis was on for pole, today he's been robbed of a win, which was actually a strategy error. Funny thing is, it was Bottas that robbed Lewis, not Yuki.

I can understand why Yuki felt he had a wheel failure from the pit stop he had just stopped. He then decided to limp back as it wasnt falling off. They checked the wheel when it came back fitted a new set of tyres and sent him back out. It was then they realised the problem in the end was actually something in the diff that failed so he had to stop again..

And yes agreed it was Bottas that caused the SC, but the VSC was I think deployed for Yuki.

And the Constructors Championship, whilst being a runaway for Red Bull is still close for 2nd, with 30 points being the now reduced gap between Ferrari and Mercedes, and Alpine squeezing the gap between them and Macca out by another four points. Then 25 points covers 6th to 9th.

1. Red Bull 511
2. Ferrari 376
3. Mercedes 346
4. Alpine Renault 125
5. McLaren Mercedes 101
6. Alfa Romeo Ferrari 51
7. Haas Ferrari 34
8. AlphaTauri Red Bull 29
9. Aston Martin Mercedes 25
10. Williams Mercedes 4

God the Ferraris were shit. Max keeps pissing on everyone every race and it looks so easy for him when it doesn’t alwayd need to be. I was hoping Merc could make the difference and then our Yuki turned everything upside down.

Bottas helped make it a bit better but then everyone pitted six hundred times to get new tyres (of course except Lewis whose screams I can hear from 1600 miles away).

I can't see anyone on the grid to dethrone Verstappen in the remaining races. I think so much was understood already a few races back. Still good to tune in. The tussle between red and silver cars will be fun to watch. Perez is out of it, and unfortunately, Sainz is the same. Leclerc and those two driving for Mercedes will cross swords. Max can take a breather, and just finish safely the season in P2 or P3. That's enough. (Not that he would be happy with that). Leclerc's confidence seemed shaken today.

A little reference to the Perez spin at the end of qualy...... very convenient spin with two minutes to go, no damage to car, but enough to cause yellows to slow everyone who ran after him and in reality take them out of the pole equation. Max by sheer coincidence had gone out first of anyone and thus set his lap completely untroubled.

All complete coincidence.

Oh did I mention that 'according to data' when Perez had his spin both Lewis and George plus Charles were all apparently under the time set by Max and all set to beat Max's pole time. Apparently.

Hence by the Lewis cultists etc it was seen as a Piquet Junior at Singapore type of thing, doing his crash for Fernando's strategy..... Oh Sergio nip out and have a spin but dont hit anything..... just do enough to ensure you block the track and disrupt any chance of Lewis George or Charles finishing a quicker lap. :wink:

Except S1 and S2 showed Lewis was slower, and it's only a side by side video where Lewis is ahead, and the side by side video was created by... a Lewis fan.

Hmm. Do we trust the F1 timing, or do we trust a video put together by a Lewis fan?

As for the cheating/corruption, why would they need to? They're so clear in both championship - it's like risking £1m to steal £10.
