Well...they collided under braking, didn't they? Not much to back out I would say...maybe throw the anchor...or handbrake turn out of it?

I think the point is that according to the team, it was discussed beforehand that George wasn't supposed to have been battling Lewis for position as hard as he was.basti313 wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 21:48Well...they collided under braking, didn't they?

??? He was not battling Lewis, he was next to Max. If Lewis would have just stayed on the outside there was a substantial chance to go 1-2 in turn 2.GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 21:50I think the point is that according to the team, it was discussed beforehand that George wasn't supposed to have been battling Lewis for position as hard as he was.
What do you mean battling for position. It was a lap 1 turn 1 incident where Lewis clearly runs himself out of space, what is George supposed to do there. All LH needs to do is go a bit wider and he'll have the grip on the soft to make the move into T2.GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 21:50I think the point is that according to the team, it was discussed beforehand that George wasn't supposed to have been battling Lewis for position as hard as he was.
This was a typical Lewis move. Normally he get´s the better out of it. With the other car loosing (parts). And the way he strongly moved in....his move would have end up in Max if George hit the brakes. You can´t blame George for this.scuderiabrandon wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 21:57What do you mean battling for position.

You're ignoring the part of the start where Lewis was passing George and had to avoid contact as George moved over on him to try and get out from behind Verstappen.scuderiabrandon wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 21:57What do you mean battling for position.

Perez had a lot of different spec parts apparently (rebuild after the sprint race) that made the car more difficult to drive on the set-up for the newer spec, or just as it was different I guess.

Gotta give props to PZ in this who called it early on, way before the insta post.Hammerfist wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 21:44Indeed. Im a massive ham fan but this was his fault. Some people cant be objective.Cs98 wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 21:26Lewis takes responsibility for the crash, good on him. It always surprises me when fans of drivers remain in a defensive mode when the driver himself has already admitted complete fault and moved on. All the arguments seem to be derived from some sort of "part the seas for Lewis" mentality that is just nonsense. You don't turn in on your teammate when he has no space inside and is already committed to the brakes. It's very similar to the Alonso incident from Spa 2022.

I think we even used the hardest tires available already right? It does need to be solved, then we can race here.
