To be honest, the Imola crash is a racing incident at worst. Russell probably deserves more of the blame, but he's not entirely at fault.PlatinumZealot wrote: β25 May 2021, 02:09The guy was just under pressure.

Bottas had more retirements this short season then Hamilton had in their time together at Mercedes.zibby43 wrote: β25 May 2021, 07:122 DNFs in the last 4 races alone.

and both pretty much out of his control. (OK, you could argue the collision with Russell wasn't, but it's hard to say Bottas was at any major fault there.)Jolle wrote: β25 May 2021, 12:31Bottas had more retirements this short season then Hamilton had in their time together at Mercedes.zibby43 wrote: β25 May 2021, 07:122 DNFs in the last 4 races alone.

This one will be interesting!

Thanks for the insights, James.
No clues in the video though regarding what Hamilton has been complaining about regarding setup and poor performance from the team.
James is saying the setups were pretty much the same for both cars and the issue was "extracting the performance" in qualifying. Which points to the driver being the issue as Bottas' P3 showed as well.
Same for the race. James is saying that the undercut should have theoretically worked and the issue was only in getting the tires up to temperature and basically being marginally too slow. As the pit stop time was top level as well, this doesnt sound like a mistake from the team to me.

Well anything really to give some merit to the claims I keep reading that the team went against Hamilton's advice on setup or an admission of wrong doing by the team.PlatinumZealot wrote: β26 May 2021, 19:13aMessageToCharlie wrote: β26 May 2021, 18:48"And this is what our nuts look like."

So what sort of clues were you hoping to find? The team never discusses setup. They will always say the cars a similar even when they have two clearly different rear wings.

If you're too emotional to have a discussion, that's on you.

But all he said is that one driver struggled to build the confidence and to get the tires working.
