    Autsch, das tut weh.

    Well, he threw a hail Mary pass there. If it had dried up, he'd be a hero. In his position he had nothing to lose (except for binning the AM).

    Merc is doing pretty well despite rules change—which affected everyone. Merc just didn’t put in the effort over the winter to claw back the aero losses thinking they’d have an easy go of it. Now that they’ve expended some effort you can see which car is fastest… the car that won today.

    AM probably believed this year would be a repeat of 2020 by copying the Merc and buying their PU and other non-listed parts.

    You can’t believe that Vettel/Stroll is the equal of Norris/Ricciardo, can you?

    Highly unlikely and with a year-older Vettel they will most likely fall to the bottom of the mid-field. That is unless Merc nail the rule change and give them a hint.

    +1 on all. AM is not Mercedes. That is so clear this year. You cannot copy a concept, employ it and then think you understand it after you take out / alter the floor as the FIA dictated for this year. Lance is hardly Norris or Ricci. Ask Ricci about Lance in Austria lol. The 'kool-aid' Otmar puts out about Lance lol - just shut it and manage the team. They need help.

    You didn't mention that Latifi took out Stroll in turn one. He lost 6 positions right there and fought some of them back.

    Did he actually pass anyone? Did see where he was passed a few times. Three of those positions that he 'gained back' were due to two Alpine and one Alpha Tauri retirements.;)

    So if it wasn't for the Hungarian GP where a mistake was made by the team regarding his fueling, Vettel would have twice as many points.

    Congrats to Lance for becoming the 3rd most passing driver this season. Right behind Vettel and Alonso.

    So much for those on here who claim he never passes anybody.

    Right, right . . . . right. Ol' Max only passed two cars today. What a slacker he is.

    Hamilton didn't pass anyone. Double slacker.

    Should we mention that in today's race that was helped considerably by crashing in qualifying and getting knocked out to last place? I'm surprised it was not mentioned here...

    Underperform in quali > pass loads of slower cars. Good way to get a meaningless statistic.

    Correct!

    When one starts towards the back of the grid one has a greater opportunity for overtakes. That was the point of my earlier comment.

    Debatable whether that's a promotion or demotion for Szafnauer.
