    Does anyone think it's weird that Sebs car spins around every time it's touched? Isn't the fourth time this year? I don't think that was bad move on either part...actually a racing incident unlike the crap that Max usually causes, but still. I just don't think that Seb has become this horrible driver all of a sudden. Granted his team very much helped put him in a desperate situations, but it's getting hard to watch.

    He tried, but he didn’t kamikaze commit to Kimi on turn one or Max near the end of race (unlike Seb) he played smart and safe, big picture stuff.

    Wasn't it Max asking Lewis that question?

    It is absolutely hilarious how you guys sugarcoat whatever Lewis does...How did he play it safe??? Lewis is always the winner in your eyes, if he succeeds he is "quit the racer" and if he fails it is "because he is smart and played it safe"...
    He tried to overtake Max over three corners and finally tried the outside, went over the curbs and lost the car -> ran wide...This could have also resulted in a spin.
    So how is that "playing it safe"??? If he wanted to play it safe and wanted to continue his "points advance" over Seb he would have not attacked Max in the first place because there was absolutely no need for that.
    He is not smarter than Seb, he is just as much a racer as Seb is and they go for gaps no matter what....
    And just because you copy and paste it in two different threads does not make it more reasonable ;)

    He ran wide because he hit the marbles/clag outside off of the racing line. A very common occurrence in IndyCar and NASCAR oval racing.

    So did Seb when he was trying to defend the counter of Ricciardo... but one is called Idiot and the other smart... yeah right

    Edit: it is not that these marbles came by surprise...Lewis should know they are there since at least 20 years, so I do not see how this is the excuse, it was still his fault

    It's called Driver Desperation.

    He's driving angry, depressed, and with limited confidence.....results in poor decisions and twitchy reactions.

    The faux Grand Sport certainly, and the outlaw L88.
    Kimi's white 63 roadster with side exhaust and K/O wheels? The NCRS boys would be apoplectic.

    KMag and Ocon disqualified from the race. Both for their cars consuming more than 105kg of fuel.

    The slightest tap and it does tend to spin. Seems very sensitive and odd.
