Mercs RB Ferrari close on lap 69

[Michal2_F1]

Of course Ferrari should asked for clarification at least about the matter. FIA won't do anything because British press won't talk about it (for obvious reasons). We spent eight days after Baku talking about one incident over and over again so while we should move on now?

true that....the middle is boring. Just the opening lap and last 3 laps is where it gets exciting; certainly different than Baku.

I'm into "Toto's bangin' table" mode when Perez got in Seb's way.

Another deliberate Collison don't how he keeps getting away with this

The FIA will have all the data, camera angles. If the cars move 1mm before lights are out it will show. Anything under 0.1 is seen as unhuman. Bottas has 0.2XXX something.

[bondilad]

Bottas escaped jump start penalty thanks to FIA tolerances.

yup...

The FIA has explained, however, that some movement before the lights go out is allowed because of the need occasionally for drivers to make adjustments to their clutch in those crucial moments before the start.

[bondilad]

yup...

So..... in a way seb was right.

So..... in a way seb was right.

yup....Seb is right and Bottas "fell within the allowed tolerances" to make a perfect start.

Silverstone should be good, we should be very strong in S1,S2. We were the quickest in high speed corners again in Austria, so with the new engine I think we will come strong. Damm my only wish is a 1-2 for Ferrari for that race.

Given Raikonnen's recent form, I wouldn't count on it. If anything I expect RB to be even closer in Britain.

1 is ok
2 is pretty tough considering Kimi form

[ScuderiaBuckeye]

Hope the team can improve the engine/car as the season progresses. That's the only help Seb will get to win the title. His teammate is worthless in that regard.

[wisepie]

Result could have been a lot worse, we wanted a win of course and Seb was so close again, he often seems to run out of laps! Great last few laps and thanks to RIC for keeping HAM behind him. Kimi again so-so, he always seems to have car issues and poor starts but he has been unlucky with DNFs so the points difference to Seb is bigger than it should be. BOT is now a real threat for WDC so let's pray that we can keep up the development, Silverstone should be interesting and I imagine that Seb isn't relishing the prospect of dealing with the HAM's fans on home ground! Good job he's got thick skin.

SM said WCC is important for Ferrari.

Yup.

Obviously

I really can't see it tbh, hope i'm proven wrong.
At this point i would settle for just WDC because it's been so long since we won a title.

[stefa]

Satisfied with today's outcome of the race. SV walks with +20 in WDC, but in CWC we are loosing touch with Mercedes. KR needs to step up his game ASAP! I am worried about Silverstone. It is important to collect as much as possible points, and of course to finish race in front of LH. Than Hungaroring comes, I am going there, as usual for the last 22 years, and there I think we can hope for, if not 1-2 , than at least 1-3 for Ferrari!

[nani_s23]

Ferrari need to consider option for kimi replacement.
Now that car is good and has potential to challenge mercs for the next year too.
Don't wanna see Kimi struggling next year too.
His age is playing on him, I'm sure about it.
Look at the 1st lap start, he almost held the position over ric then again ric with his aggressiveness left no door to kimi where he ran off the track.
Not only this track, earlier tracks too he is very much conservative towards overtaking someone or making an aggressive move. Whether I should go or not, he's been thinking in that way. It's costing team points, WCC.
Ferrari should look for options ASAP. Sorry to say it. But I find it's the only solution.

Important point is RB found weak link at ferrari in the form of Kimi.
That's what they are targeting his position on the track.

We need to start finishing ahead of Bottas as well soon

do you think he could actually win the title? I have the feeling Ham is not quite 100% this year, there's just a little something missing.

But I want to see WCC it's for the team.
Drivers come n go. Driver who would win WDC with Ferrari, one day he will drive for another team too might win with them too. So In long term prefer WCC over WDC.
But for this year, I will be pretty satisfied with WDC. not next year.

He's at his best, he's extracting everything out of that car.
That's why he delivered stunning pole laps in Montreal, Baku. When car gets better n better, he will raise his bar.
By that situation Ferrari car also should be in better position n vet should have atleast 45pts lead advantage.
