Mazepin is a liability and shouldn't be on the track. He doesn't have enough spare capacity to know what's going on around him.

Track position is king at this track.
Yeah, shame it was a few laps too late.
I’m holding my opinion until I see how this plays out. Lewis is on fresher tires than Max and is a tire whisperer.
I agree. It may well pay off to have kept him out longer but surely he would have exited the pits ahead had they immediately followed. We shall see!
He's basically a gte am driver in le mans. Just waiting for a big incident caused by him this yearJust_a_fan wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 15:45Mazepin is a liability and shouldn't be on the track. He doesn't have enough spare capacity to know what's going on around him.
Not really. Had Verstappen not pitted hamilton would overtake him down the straight. Late call to pits prevented that, but now the game is up.
Over one lap, maybe / maybe not. In a race, possibly.
What I don’t get is that he got a bollocking, grid penalty and penalty points just last weekend for exactly the same damn thing. He is clearly just really dense.Spacepace wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 15:48He's basically a gte am driver in le mans.

We watching the same race? He was catching at more than 1s per lap.
Yes, but Max knew he had to look after his tyres, and he knows that Lewis has to pass him on track. And we know how difficult that is.
Yes, but you dont let hamilton sit in your drs for half the race if you can help it. That's all they got.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 15:55Yes, but Max knew he had to look after his tyres, and he knows that Lewis has to pass him on track. And we know how difficult that is.
I think it might just be a capability thing. Maybe he’s just having to use too much of his capacity on keeping the car on track to be able to process and react to the flags as he should.Restomaniac wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 15:52What I don’t get is that he got a bollocking, grid penalty and penalty points just last weekend for exactly the same damn thing.
