Exactly. And TBH it was all worth it for that exquisite Alonso duel. Absolutely magnificent racing from the pair of them. Right on the limit, but completely fair.Mchamilton wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 22:32He'd of been passed by all but maybe a couple of cars, hed of been sat in his box while every car came past, and hed have only past maybe 2 or 3 that were still in their boxes. Alonsos amazing defencive driving cost him the win as much as not boxing did.El Scorchio wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 22:27Tough call to make from the lead though. All the cars round him had nothing to lose. I’m sure if he was sitting 6-7th he’d have done it. But it has been pointed out more than a few times that there was a strong chance if he did go in, everyone would have passed him in the pit lane anyway, due to the position of his pit box. It was a bit of a lose/lose situation for him.renault rs26 wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 22:21
It was a joke. Btw team couldn't tell him to stay out during formation lap, drivers had to decide themselves whether they pit or not so it's Hamilton's mistake.
