    Full vid with all the radio traffic from Ham and Engineer. He had to BEG lewis, yet still wouldn't listen. Also note him taking seat belts off at a live race track, and out before the car came to a stop....still on a live track!

    Lewis is ****ing imploding. Blaming hydraulic failure before the jump, a broken steering before the bump...Why doesn't this utter prat just ever hold his hand up and admit mistake? What a complete tool.

    Hamilton looked like he was taking a dump hidden behind his car. Such a great talent for the stage lost in car racing.

    Surely this has to result in a major sanction - pushing has been a massive nono since poor Giunti nearly fifty years ago

    Well, that was an unexpected result. Ham completely folded.

    From Merc team
    UPDATE: @LewisHamilton had a hydraulic failure at Turn 1 as he ran the normal kerb through that corner. Then, with failed power steering, as a result of the hydraulic failure, his car jumped over the run-off... 1/2
    UPDATE: The car’s ‘jumping’ moments seen on TV were a consequence of the hydraulic failure, rather than the cause of it. 2/2

    Hamilton explained why he tried to push his car back into the pits.
    “Simple, it’s qualifying, the car was still going and I I hoped with all my heart that I might make it back and they could fix it. In my heart I never give up so it is the hardest thing to give in and accept the car will not make it back.
    “I turned the car off and thought perhaps I can even push it back, as crazy as it sounds. that’s just me being passionate.”

    Wait, Seb wasn't shaking and physically drained by getting on pole at his home race?
    There's no way Lewis was faking all of that right, right?

    This is now Ferrari titles to win or lose. I think Mercedes now are #2 in terms of speed and flexibility per circuit.

    Mercedes are having to take risks to keep pace, and their reliability is suffering.

    All Vet has to do is drive like that for 50 odd laps, come rain come shine, come getting a shove by another car, and it's in the bag. What could possibly go wrong ?
    Great to see Ferrari back on form where they should be. If only Red Bull had another 50 bhp, it would make for a much more entertaining race......not just another procession.

    Now, that Haas is firmly entrenched as the 4th best car on the grid, what will it take to move past Red Bull (or Mercedes) and compete for podium positions and wins? Or, is this an impossible task unless they suddenly have a massive budget increase?

    Better aero and fewer mistakes. A combination of possibly more money and smarter driving to help?

    Right. But, I more or less answered my own question.

    Is this before or after when Mercedes claims the hydraulics failed? Because it looks like this is when Hamilton broke the car.

    Hamilton will be Lucky if he gets away with a fine. Several safety issues there.

    OK, but this is free practice 1...
    At 0:52 and it shows that this is far from "taking the curbs normal"....
