It's all swings and roundabouts. exactly, you can also get the situation where the lead two cars are about to lap one or multiple cars. if they hit at the wrong part of a circuit one of the lead cars can get held up while the other does not by the same extent meaning one car could increase the gap by a few seconds or the following car could close the gap by a few seconds. it is part and parcel of racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads of incidents where one gets a break over the other, some more critical than others and Verstappen getting that DRS off Shum ensured his victory, but that's racing!

Taffin Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Verstappen was also held up by the Haas before getting the DRS so I'd say it even itself out. Hamilton would have got DRS from Max if he'd been close enough...but he wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky_26 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 There is what 5 races left and the next two in Mexico and Brazil should favour red bull. Could max have a big enough lead that he could be a but more cautious in the other three races to take the title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 It is fine margins and overall its massive credit to Red Bull and Verstappen. But apart from putting Verstappen out of one race which doesn't really count, Bottas has been no help to Hamilton. That's the main benefit next season of George Russell coming in.

I can stand Verstappen and Horner even less than Hamilton and Wolff, though, so today's result suits me better. It looks as though we'll have an interesting battle to the end of the season. Really hope that Verstappen blows it. Between the two of them, I think he'd be more miserable at losing than Hamilton would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever Mercedes have done to that car, it’s straight line speed should dominate the last 3 tracks. For me, the significant happenings in the season have been the 2 races that Verstappen didn’t score any points due to being taken out by a Mercedes car. Hamilton at Silverstone and Bottas not long after that incident, when he managed to take out both Red Bull cars. It’s all part of the game, of course, but if Hamilton had been on the wrong end of those incidents, he would still be reminding everyone.
