New tactics from Hamilton in future ?

If Leclerc is only front tyres to rear tyres at the point of the squeeze like Elton, who cares. If he is actually ahead by even an inch, he has the right to the space.

Ever made an insurance claim when someone rear ends you? Whose fault is it? Yours for not preparing to leave him space in case he misses his brakes, or his? In case you haven’t, it is 100% the driver behind, in law by the way, not just a conjecture or standard, certainly here in the UK


Forza Ferrari..... the only racing team and car marque that matters. Italia forever It’s easier to apologise than it is to ask permission

 

that's just LH being LH.
he's saying basically in a quintessentially British way, "I let him win because I wouldn't stoop to his level of driving tactics, but if that's the way its going to be, Im going to roll up my sleeves and get dirty too". reminded me of Michelle Obamas speech "when they go low, we go high"...except with a different ending

ya, ok, whatever Lewis. its you and mercedes against an unfair world. <rolling eyes>

It was pretty clear that last race stung him....or maybe seeing someone else win 2 in a row. But either way, you could tell he was irritable, backhanded compliments and all. losing to someone else sucks

 

You have your opinion, I have mine. You always claim Elton is the best ever, yet he couldn’t take a rookie despite being on faster tyres and having the Mercedes against two small advantages, acceleration off a corner and track position. I don’t think his whining about it helps Elton’s cause at all. Glad he was beaten, nice to see Charles developing and showing great racecraft, and for all those who claim he was too tough at the front.... watch Elton’s crashing his way around 2009 to 2013, when he had a car not capable of sustaining a prolonged challenge at the front

 

Watch Schumacher crashing his way around in 1991-93, 1996-97, 2010-2012 when he had a car not capable of sustaining a prolonged challenge at the front

 

Wrong man, rarely crashed mate, and certainly not into his team mates just because they beat him... try again

 

100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sounds like the Max situation in previous years.

 

Right. Lewis could have passed him if he really wanted to, but instead choose to just make it look like he was trying and then whine about ‘dangerous’ driving when Leclerc didn’t just roll over and let him pass.

 

Forget Leclerc- think about Max and Lewis battling like this

 

Well, LeClerc is not a rookie...and 'acceleration off a corner', 'track position' and superior straightline speed are not 'small advantages' at a track with long straights.

I think you need to re-watch there incident...there was no gap Lewis had to 'aim for' - he was already in it. Hamilton had the run off Rettifilo, Chalres moved to the left to cover the inside. Hamilton was fully alongside (his front wing ~ level to the Ferrari's front front wheel) So, there was nothing 'optimistic' about Hamilton putting his car there.

lol, right.

Ham: "Hey Valtteri, I'm going to smoke my tires, miss the apex, and go slowly around the barriers so that you can pass me and take a shot at Leclerc."

 

The car overtaking has the responsibility to do it safely. Passing is at the risk of the overtaking car. Leclerc was on the racing line. Hamilton tried to pass several times and didn't have the poop to get it done. On more than one occasion Lewis and Bottas were just a half second behind Leclerc as they came out of a corner and onto a DRS zone...and neither Mercedes driver could get past Leclerc with full DRS and a long straight to make it work. In desperation Lewis and Bottas both tried to squeeze inside and outside Leclerc's Ferrari. Leclerc was having none of it. He kept his racing line, and he won and they didn't. The Ferrari team beat the Mercedes team. Hamilton always has a "reason" when he doesn't win. He should show a little more class and just admit "today they were faster."

 

Excuses excuses..... where’s the story? LeClerc won, Elton got toasted, bottas showed he has little hunger to be bothered. A great driver would have found a way, and certainly would have made CONSTANT attempts to pass, not half a dozen in 50 laps. Go back and watch Alonso and Schumi, Imola, 2005, or 2006, can’t remember which, and Schumi attacking every lap of the race, with Alonso maintaining track position on a much more intricate circuit than Monza with its long long straights and enticing braking points

 

Did you watch the post race? Hamilton has said the Ferrari was faster and congradulated Leclerc multiple times. He was only stating Leclerc, squeezed him off track, which the stewards agreed and gave him a warning. Hamilton didn't make an excuse, he does not need this win, he has 81, Leclerc has 2.

 

Just give it up mate. Hamilton will always be someone not worth their consideration, no matter how good he drives.

 

Bottas was going to pass Hamilton regardless of his shunt. His tires were shot, so of course he 'apparently made no effort to pass' Bottas. However, if his tires were not shot there was no way that he would have let Bottas past and give up points.

 

Re-read my earlier post, and consider the entire statement in the context meant. You are the one who keeps changing the narrative to somehow justify Lewis's driving and ultimate race result.

 

No, he only won 7unless of course you think he won in canada!!

 

Karma is a peach
