2023 Qatar Grand Prix - Lusail, Oct 06 - 08

Magnussen overtook Stroll when entering the pits. I doubt that is allowed?!

I don't think Russell should've fight Lewis on soft tyre on that one... even if Lewis should've open the trajectory more

Russell couldn't have done anything there

He could have seen that Lewis had the advantage and backed off, but F1 drivers don't think like that.

Russell made it difficult. It wasn’t needed, just let Hamilton through, and move in behind Max. No need to move left and push Hamilton into a more difficult overtake. Think of the team

it's turn 1, hamilton is steaming from the outside from a car length back and just puts a squeeze on him. it was a misjudgement. Russel is not being aggressive at all, he's just following his line.

Could've braked earlier and let more place to Lewis on the outside

Russel tucked in and out. Maybe giving Lewis the impression he was behind Max.
But I would say Hamilton could have been more cautious and Russel could have accepted that he lost out by being tucked behind Max.

It is pointless to watch this race. Max is already champion. Piastri's race pace is questionable. I'm out!

It is I think. Vettel did it in China 2016

I guess so. Russell himself was halfway alongside Max and most likely didn't expect Lewis to go around the outside and then turn in as if it wasn't 3 wide!

It's similar to that Spa incident with Alonso last year.

Silly of Mercedes to not say give Lewis the priority in any situation at the start.

Why start one of your cars on soft and not maximise that. He could have got in front of Max and controlled it for a little while.

Agree. Race is a turd, with no strategy and an easy win for Max

Hülkenberg started from 12th instead of 14th. Lol

[PlatinumZealot]

It seems he was trying to pointlessly squeeze George. There was so much space on the outside. But curiously it seems George.... feels guilty? Maybe George lifted off the brake a bit?

Agreed. Lewis needs to improve his quali form and has also forgetten where to place the rear of his car now. Dude needs to wake up a bit as he's making the same mistakes.

What happened to Sainz??
