Formula 1 2018 - Round 11 – Hockenheim

Rossi IRL

Kimi pitting for ultras

Ghost Train

Will Hamilton get penalty for that I wonder. Maybe confusion about which Mercedes was being called in

Mike Litoris

Jaysus!

Oh wow Kimi in now

What tyres did Bottas end up with

Inters I think.

Hamilton shouldn't be let away with cutting out of pit entry like that. Drivers have been punished for that before.

What tyres are Ferrari putting on Kimi's car?

walshb

Vettel steering issue?

Bottas has Ultrasoft tyres on

Rossi IRL

The way this race is going I'd fully expect Hamilton to do a Vettel.

Especially with cold wet ultras on.

Penalty coming for Lewis?

I would think that Hamilton would be penalised for that cutting in and out of the pit lane.

No it was just driver error

I could be wrong so feel free to correct me, but I think drivers have been punished for cutting into the pit lane, not out.

If the same happened to Hamilton, do you reckon he'd be saying sorry like Vettel, or he'd blame everyone but himself?

Clear driver error though, unless he had a steering problem, which doesn't look likely, fancy Hamilton to win this easily now.

Poor Seb. Couldn’t have happened to a more likable guy...........

I think, but am not certain, it's both.

prettyboy81

Surely a penalty 5 or 10 seconds to be applied at end of race.

Give it a ****ing rest for christ's sake.

skipper_G

Stroll out now as well, if Sirotkin's issue was brakes maybe that's precautionary

Other big winner in all this is Max, 45 seconds down on 3rd place before safety car.

Possibly blaming, but doubt he’d be sobbing like a little girl..

Faugheen

I kind of want it to lash down now because Hulk is the highest placed car on inters

Ghost Train

Ultra for the leaders so

Hulkenburg could be in good position of rain hangs around

That Mercedes message was a mess

Rossi IRL

Verstappen going to win

Hamilton tyres will be old

strawdog

Verstappen could be big winner in this if conditions stay dicey

kopite386

Sainz still with the inters on, why have Renault not followed everyone else and put him onto Ultras

Rossi IRL

Either that or he wrecks Kimi

Ghost Train

Hulkenburg shown on ultras now

flazio

10 lap dash coming up.

Cool_CM

Come on Kimi!

skipper_G

The commentators keep saying Perez and Ocon ran each other wide at turn 8 earlier on, it was Ericsson and Ocon. Perez was on a completely different part of the track when they happened. He had just stopped and lost 7 or 8 seconds because of a slow stop.

Ghost Train

I'd say safety car will be out again

ScrubsfanChris

Watch Bottas hold everyone up while Hamilton goes off into the distance.

Rossi IRL

Bottas looks up for it

Whiplashy

Come on Bottas!

skipper_G

I maintain that Bottas doesn't have the killer instinct to be a champion. Would love him to prove me wrong here

Cool_CM

Bottas looking frisky!

****ing Bottas the ruiner. Holding himself and Kimi up and letting Hamilton saunter off.

kopite386

I'm not a Hamilton or Mercedes fan so I would absolutely love of the two Mercs took each other out of it :pac:

ScrubsfanChris

Bottas clearly been told to back off. He could have won this.

Bottas told to hold position. FFS. I don't think Hamilton can complain about luck this season.

ctrl-alt-delete

I wonder is there any radio back from Bottas to being told to hold station.

Edit: and there was, a simple "copy James"

Whiplashy

Torrential downpour would be good now

skipper_G

That's disappointing, corporate horsecrap so the board of directors can all pat each other on the back for how great they are with their nice 1-2 finish. Should have let them race

Would have gone with a "Go **** yourself James" there myself. :P

double post. Please delete

**** sake Mercedes. That was great fun between the pair of them

If positions were reversed they would be told the same for this race.

Mercedes need a 1-2. The whole Mercedes higher ups are there for this race.

I still hate team orders. Ferrari's team order was worse, telling a driver to let the car behind overtake is worse than telling the car behind to hold position in my eyes.

Vandoorne has done alright out of all this, plum last to ahead of his teammate

I strongly doubt it. Hamilton behind on tyres what, 12 or 15 laps younger?
