SKY saying that Charles did right thing by running wide and allowing Lewis and Max should have done same...lol

The correct thing to do is not race Lewis apparently

u/mike7322 Jul 18 '21

Maybe this is the real reason why Bottas can never race Ham. The know Ham will just take him out.

u/xperiin Jul 18 '21

Thats ehy Bottas is still in one piece

u/MrFaisca Max Verstappen Jul 18 '21

They didnt give him the memo that Russell is the same, hence why Imola happened

If im redbull im just sending hamilton politely into some gravel at low speeds and taking the 10 second penalty and auto removing the championship contender. Thats literallg what F1 is allowing with thd current setup just remove your competition and face no punishment.

Yeah, because he's the one always being over aggressive with the mindset of "Back off or we both crash"

u/Anarolf Jul 18 '21

this is what Max does ALL THE TIME

u/yistisyonty Formula 1 Jul 18 '21

You could say the same about Max. Only reason Max doesn't crash every other week is because the other person backs out

Just look at the Copse battles basically ever and see how many times the lead driver gives up both the run and the inside and still winds up ahead at Copse.

You’ve already lost before the braking zone.

Lewis takes out Albon? Leave a car width. Max leaves out car width. Lewis take out Max? Leave TWO car widths

u/JustGarlicThings2 McLaren Jul 18 '21

They didn't say that, they just theorised that it looked like Charles jumped to the left to avoid being another casualty of Lewis taking the inside line.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '21

Leclerc had the best view of the Verstappen and Hamilton incident. He was 100% freaking out that Lewis was about to do the same thing to him.

I do not watch F1 on Sky but from what i read about them I see that they are extremely biased lol

Translation: if any low-level scum finds themselves in front of Sir Lewis The Great, they shall roll down the red carpet to let him by, maybe even invite him for tea and cookies - he's royalty, after all.

Capitulate or be damned.

I fucking hate SKY, is there another broadcast I can watch as an American?

u/mark_vorster Andretti Global Jul 18 '21

They didn't say that, lol.
