I thought this too. Also a lot of whooshing overlaid on top as if they’ve put the mic right in front of the airbox.
Great last lap by Lando.
Punted off is a bit strong. More like a racing incident to me - Lewis was on the tightest line and didn't look like he unwound the lock to me. It was Albon's overenthusiasm and lack of experience that played the larger part in him ending up going off. I wouldn't say Ferrari are nowhere either, given CL finished 3rd on the track...Gavin wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 10:23 am I watched the Sky coverage and just watched the race show and a bit of the aftermath. I thought it was a cracking race, great to see Lando on the podium too. Real shame for Albon though, 2 races in the last few where Lewis has punted him off.
Looks like Ferrari are nowhere, although in normal races may well be Merc then a very close bunch behind. Would love to see Bottas win the WC, or Max. Just be nice to have a change frankly.
i agree, Ferrari were shit in quali, but their race pace was ok and they made up a lot of positions (Vettel was crap).Swervin_Mervin wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 11:34 amPunted off is a bit strong.

his front left was almost at the white line on the exit of the corner, he clearly closed the door on a car that was ahead of him. But yeah, Albon could have easily used Lots more kerb To save the collision.Swervin_Mervin wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 12:20 pm I've just watched it back. HAM doesn't open the steering at all, and Albon doesn't even get on the kerbs before they touch...There's comfortably a car's width for Albon
I thought it was probably a fair penalty at the time given the outcome for Albon, but now I think LH was unfairly done tbh.
React how? He was already on full lock. And there was definitely a full car width available between him and the kerbs.
Was not!
Would be interesting to see the telemetry to see if HAM did lift at all. Also I've no idea what lock they would have been capacble of. HAM was still in the middle of the track though at the point they collided...Rich B wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 2:38 pm Maintaining the same steering lock does not mean he didn’t ease Alb off - unless you’re saying all race tracks have totally constant corners and all cars stay consistent distance from the edges all the way round!
As I said, Albon clearly could have used more road/kerb and avoided the collision, but Hamilton could have lifted slightly to miss the car that was ahead of him. Racing incident from two drivers being fairly aggressive (which is how they should be).
