🗣️ Peter Windsor: “Charles has always been a dirty driver, always will be. And everybody knows that, except apparently Lewis Hamilton when he’s about to sign a new contract at Ferrari, who presumably thought, oh, well, Charles will drive like I, as I do, never do anything, you know, unsporting. […] There’s no point saying it now. What’s the point now? That’s completely ludicrous. We know what Charles was like, and Lewis should have known.” #F1

I’m aware - but I’m just talking about pure instinct.
No strategy deliberation etc.
When he had to make a split second decision, I noticed he follows Lawson into the pits for a moment, but then pulls out.
As a human, there has to be some kind of danger aspect in his brain causing that reflex - when you look at how close Lawson is.
By the looks of it, Hamilton seemed to instinctively miss the pit lane - perhaps because Lawson was right there and the closing speed would’ve been immense.
I doubt it was thought out or intentional, but it looks like pure survival instinct in the heat of the moment.
Which is why he then radios to say he missed the pit lane.
@dami_willis I know that’s what he said, but I’m just talking about pure instinct here.
When he had to make a split second decision, he pulled into the pit lane initially and then pulled out of it in a split second.
Surely that must be the reason.
@AndyGraham22 Both could’ve gone on inters. Obviously not the teams’ fault, but the sport needs to give teams an incentive to run cars in qualifying regardless.
@AndyGraham22 I love it tbh.
Straights are a bit long for a one-make fleet though, parity will always be a problem there as it is with PF and GYG.
Had fun at the Rotax event in May and back tomorrow 🔥
Why does it never rain the exact right amount anymore 😭
I remember Silverstone 2008, it rained all day but it never got too wet at any point during the day that would command a red flag even for today’s standards. Aside from the morning hours before the race, and for 5 laps during the race it got a bit sketchy but there were never rivers of water that could cause a massive accident.
Every time it rains in F1 now it seems like either a monsoon or drizzle, no in between 😢
Hamilton and Verstappen starting at the back in a rain-soaked Brazil, in cars that can actually race wheel to wheel in the rain barring any software seizures (big if).
This could be an all-timer.
@GazzettaFerrari if you respect the team, you respect your teammate.
ferrari gave you an equal opportunity to charles (who is their literal racing product)
ferrari let both of you fight eachother on track and didnt prioritise one over the other.
if you want a bottas, go to cadillac, nigga.
@Arcturus044@pqtdc All could be plausible reasons - albeit, none of which I’ve ever seen Lewis do before in this fashion.
It’s just a bit odd to see him like this, having lived through the ALO and ROS years and remembering what actually happened then.
