Everyone was slower on the new inters after the first lap as they just started graining. Once through the graining phase, everyone gained lots of pace. It was a just a straight forward bad call by the team as it was too late in the race after everyone else had gone through the pain.
Yes- and Sainz. Cracking job by him as well.InsaneX_Badger wrote: ↑10 Oct 2021, 15:35Hamilton stiff aside, Bottas has driven perfectly today and fully deserves this win. Hamilton engine penalty or not, he had a job to do today and he's not put a foot wrong.
Yes, but if would have not pushed as hard then he wouldn't have grained them. Max didn't grain his. On balance it could have been faster for Hamilton to go 0.5s slower on the first lap.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑10 Oct 2021, 15:34Everyone was slower on the new inters after the first lap as they just started graining.

Max had space to do it. He wasn't dropped back in to a battle. This isn't about Hamilton messing up, it was the strategy team believing the computer over the driver in conditions where the driver knows what the car is doing.nzjrs wrote: ↑10 Oct 2021, 15:37Yes, but if would have not pushed as hard then he wouldn't have grained them.
