Lewis Hamilton's contract demand : Mercedes agree to 'Max Verstappen clause' ?!?!

Race control, in my opinion, is at fault here. They should have intervened the second time Hammy went wide.

I am far from a Hammy fan, but he excelled in this race.

Bahrain was a rear limited track.. no one complained about front tires..

Depends in which turn they were running in ..In turn 4 the front tires suffered a lot .
By exceeding the track limits at turn 4 , HAM could spare his front tires .
BTW : HAM was warned twice during the race !

HAM exceeded the track limits 29 times ,gain in each lap was +/- 0.3/0.5 sec. in each lap !
Over the whole race , the gain was +/- 14.5 sec. !
The Bahrain GP is HAM's stolen victory !

he lost time in that screenshot mate.. he accelerated on sand basically.. and actually gap got smaller after that mistake he had.. braked too late before that thats all..

You're talking about turn four.... but I believe the image you are using is turn ten.

Mate . That is correct . By my picture from above I wanted to show , it was NOT only in turn 4 that HAM exceeded the track limits .

Check the drivers lines from HAM vs MAX ! HAM ran at least 3 meters off the track !

I get it, but were there track limits in place on turn ten?

Advice :

Mate . You should squeeze your A$$ cheeks from what will come at IMOLA !!!!

Think you already practiced a lot at Bahrain ...

HAM can't steal every victory !!!

Wherever it was . It was a track limit as well . HONDA and Red Bull sent images to the FIA where HAM exceeded the track limits by +/- 5 meters !
Regarding HAM's infractions : A lot of discussions are still going on at the FIA !

It's NOT over yet ! But hey ! We are talking here about Mercedes !

Sand mate ?

This isn't about sand mate . This is about exceeding the track limits .

So which lap shows Hamiltons lap times suddenly increase by 0.3/0.5 secs a lap after he stops exceeding track limits at turn 4?
Doesn't seem to show on the chart of lap times?

Verstappen lost the GP with his usual incompetence...getting on the throttle too hard while passing Hamilton and going off track at turn 4 as a result.

According to the race regulations : Racing is running within the track limits . 29 times HAM didn't , while he was warned twice during the race for exceeding the track limits for at least 3 meters !

Mate .It doesn't matter anymore . Red Bull HONDA and MAX didn't showed all their cards at Bahrain
HAM knows it ! That's why he will drive with his A$$ cheeks squeezed at Imola !

That matters mate ! Can't wait !

Mate I’m not even really a HAM fan, but unlike you I can appreciate his skill and I don’t blindly hype up someone who has basically done nothing in a top car his entire career.

Again keep the excuses coming for MAX it quite hilarious.

Give it another race or two and we can continue to watch RB sabotage their #2 driver when he outperforms your idol.

Mate . Are you serious ?
LMFAO !!!

In F1 the Mercedes is the fastest car of the last decade !
MAX in the slower RB car was the only driver to beat (sometimes) HAM in his Mercs spaceship in warp-speed !

Give it another race or two ?
While HAM actually stole his victory from MAX at Bahrain !

Outperforms your idol ?
Checo Perez wasn't even close !

Time for a change and of course time for revenge as well !

[SenorFunkyPants]

Marko said that in terms of race pace there were no concerns about Perez, but the key for him now was putting a lap together in qualifying.

“The race speed is on the same level as Verstappen,” said Marko. “When he was in free air, he set the same times, so, so far, so good. Unfortunately, it wasn't like that in qualifying.

“The positive thing was that he lost most of his time in one turn, Turn 1. Already during testing, in sector three, he was faster than Max on average. The only issue is: you have to get the lap together.

“But we are convinced that he will get much closer to Max in qualifying as well.”

It is about time , that MAX can get a real teammate ASAP !
From there RB can built on a real Red Bull race strategy !

Hopefully Checo can do it...

So it looks like the stewards got it wrong yet again with Norris swearing that Max had OVERTAKEN hammy already before entering the - zone.
Is there an alterior motive now entering the argument from above with Max's penalty that should never have been.

You can see yourself Bongo from M Powers' pic that it wasn't only in T4 that hammy was going off track. It's these little misdemeanours that kept him just ahead.

Yes my friend,we must remember what Chandhook and the others said in that it will take Checo about 4 races more to get on real terms with the 16B to keep Bottas in check.
