[Official] Brazilian Grand Prix 2019: Grand Prix Weekend Thread - Round 20 of 21

[Greem]

And here we go again!

[bjohnsonsmith]

Even Villeneuve and Pironi managed not take each other out at Imola in '82.

[bjohnsonsmith]

All we need now is for the 2 RBs to take each other out.

[Greem]

Jeebus. I didn't breathe for 2 laps!

[bjohnsonsmith]

That's Albon's podium hopes dashed.

[Greem]

What a bloody fabulous race that was. The first half was simply ordinary, but the second half - extraordinary!

[bjohnsonsmith]

Congrats to Max. Looks like I joined the race at just the right time.

Lewis Hamilton driving tips, brought to you by Sebastian Vettel.

I'm not really a fan of penalties, but Lewis should take a drop for that one. Door was always going to close.

We'll be on opposite sides of the fence on that one. That door was wiiiiiiiiide open and he closed it way too late.

[bjohnsonsmith]

Is that the first time a RB and a Toro Rosso, have finished 1, 2 on the podium?

[Peter Mallett]

Hamilton apologises to Albon. Gasly seems like a winner.

[Greem]

Wow. Hamilton says Albon incident "entirely my fault". Good man, even if I disagree!

It was open - wide open. But I can't envision a way that Lewis makes it to the corner before the door naturally closes itself.

Vettel: I can move over on my team mate. What could go wrong? I'm Vettel damn it!
Leclerc: I'm entitled to hold my ground, so I will! I know best after only 2 years of F1!
Lewis: I can fit into any gap! COMING THROUGH!

I wonder if he would be saying that, if he was the one who came off worst?

[Lancsbreaker]

Waiting to see it again, but my feeling is that Albon left the door far too open.....

Probably not, but if the tables were turned and Albon said the same thing then I think the emotions would be about the same.

With days like that, it has to be time for Vettel to go. 100% down to him moving over.

Just because the door’s ajar, it doesn’t you the right to smash it down. Hamilton is going to be penalised.

What mad fun

I thought it was 50/50.

It wasn't ajar, it was fully pushed back against the wall. Albon ran wider than he had done previously on colder tyres, Hamilton chucked it up the inside - and practically everyone would do that, including Albon - and the door was suddenly slammed.

That one genuinely seems 50/50 to me.

Not a chance mate. Albon was pretty clever really. No way Hamilton could complete the pass. Hence I’m sure he’s going to get a penalty.

[Greem]

Vettel typically terse in the media pen. He really doesn't deal with these adverse situations well, where Leclerc seemed annoyed but remained eloquent.

We really need a fly-on-the-wall in the Ferrari motorhome this evening.

Vettel said he had no room on the right! Lol, there was room for Webber in a full-size Renault!

Really?

I say that one is 100% Vettels fault. Leclerc had the ability and option to avoid Vettels stupidity and chose not to do so. But it remains Vettels fault.
