2018 British GP - RACE

[stefa]

Keep what in mind? That Lewis is thinking there is a conspiracy against him? He is a tool for suggesting that. People suggesting Kimi hit Lewis on purpose are not part of the team, they are entitled to an opinion, but Lewis is a public figure. That's not how one should talk.

Kimi Raikkonen has been caught speeding in the pitlane with a whopping 114.8 km/h (80 km/h limit). Scuderia Ferrari have been fined €1,000

I'm just enjoying to see how the Mercs season is starting to unravel. Last year they were cocky about having the fastest car a d Ferrari mucking things up in terms of reliability. Now, they are really under pressure and are a victim of their own success.

Grande Seb, grande Kimi and grande squadra today, fully deserved this win and makes up for all the pain Merc and LH have given us at Monza these past few years. Sorry for Charles who was also doing a good race, HAM should take a leaf out of his book when faced with a race that doesn't go his way. Time for a celebratory snifter! Salute ragazzi.

[Michal2_F1]

Please guys, don't accuse Hamilton or Mercedes of intentionally causing collision when they didn't do it on purpose. Leave it to Hamilton, his celebrities (maybe too much time in Hollywood?) and fans, who don't know anything about racing.

My 6 year old son stayed up late (11PM) and enjoyed the race so much that he asked me to get an F1 game for the PS4

He was pumping his fist when Seb overtook Bottas and was cheering for Kimi to pass Lewis (whom he calls Boo Hamilton).

Im proud to say that he will be part of the next generation Tifosi

[Liscia]

Porca miseria! What great racing and results! Mercedes had the combination for winning for the past years but now they are learning how to lose though they still
don't know how to do it gracefully judging by all their and Ham's morose post race comments. Let's just leave them to their negativity and enjoy the win! See-sawing
may continue for the rest of the season but our team is definitely ascendant. FORZA FERRARI!!! Grazie a tutto la squadra!

Picture tells 1000 words... I am amazed how arrogant and ignorant is LH?! Be dicent both in winning and loosing!

[vetalo]

Beyond a joke.

These guys are just i**** when Verstappen took out both Ferrari last year or Bottas ran out Kimi in Baku they said nothing. Sky F1 are so bias and I can't wait for them to loose right to F1

yep. I would have replied if I was the reporter: " That's all fine and dandy Lewis, but how did you lose 2 places to Vettel and your team-mate at the start??"

[vetalo]

JA is incapable

He was no good to us and i am glad he was sacked

as he knows all the team#44 and #LH will start causing so much rubbish for Ferrari, the british media, The Sun, SKYF1, will whip this up into a silly storm.

JA wasnt sacked.

[paneristi]

looks like he's saying "we did everything: cheated, special tires, bribed officials and stewards to side with us, created some scenarios, and still I didn't win"

Yeah, that would be a great question!

[flam147]

secretly started engine development and disgustingly pursued FIA to apply the idea, special tires, politics and so much dirty tricks. sore loser merc deserves defeat

Buses with hybrid drive for almost 50 years
Mercedes-Benz and the Daimler Group can look back on the longest and most extensive experience worldwide with hybrid buses. Daimler-Benz AG, as it was known at the time, presented the first bus in the world with hybrid drive at the International Motor Show back in 1969.

[vetalo]

JA wasnt sacked.

Yes I know but I don't like him, i never did. He is just a parrot, the same person that reported Ferrari to FIA, When Verstappen made us loose two car last year and Ham went on to win we did not complain, The same Verstappen hit Vettel twice again Ferrari never complained, Vettel only went to Red Bull and ask them to talk to him. Bottas hit Kimi last year in Baku and nothing happened.

It seems Ferrari gets all the penalty but others its a racing incident

[Ferrarichamp]

does anyone here remember the last time a Mercedes driver got a penalty for causing a collision/ dangerous driving etc?

[paneristi]

this is about replacing v10 naturally aspirated to v6 turbo, not commuting technology

Toto: "My statement about possibly deliberate act of Ferrari at the start of the race was stupid"

Maurizio Arrivabene: “This was a well deserved win, mainly down to a great job from the team at the track and back in Maranello and I congratulate them. Winning here is not easy as England is home to the Mercedes, Red Bull, McLaren, Force India and Williams and others. That makes winning here all the more special. Sebastian drove a great race, fighting like a lion despite the pain in the neck he has suffered with since Saturday. Kimi also had a strong race proving once again what a fighter he is. The SF71H confirmed its strengths as it has done on other tracks already and the Pirelli tyres were a perfect match for our strategy. Tomorrow we will have our debrief and right from the afternoon we will start preparing for Sebastian’s home race, the German GP.”

Sebastian Vettel: “Every race is a team race, but today it was even more important for us to win here, because the last few years had been very difficult to us. This year we have proved to be strong every time on every track so far. The most important thing is that the car is strong and fast. The new updates that we brought here have worked very well through the whole weekend. In qualifying we were just a little bit slower, but during the race it was just great. Today during the first stint I probably pushed too much on the Soft tires, but during the second one I had everything under control. The Safety Car made everything more exciting, but even more tricky. However, the strategy with the tires was great and at the end we got a fantastic win as a team. I really enjoyed this race and I am happy for me and for the team. Also, the start was very important for us and it was great. Now it’s important to keep working. I say thanks to the whole team for this win!”

Kimi Raikkonen: “My start was not perfect; in turn 3 I locked the inside wheel, lost a bit of grip and couldn’t slow down as much as I wanted. So I ended up touching Lewis’s rear wheel and unfortunately he span. I had to serve a ten seconds penalty and after that my race was a bit messy. Overtaking was difficult, and I fought against the Red Bulls for many laps. When I was on my own the speed was ok, but once I was behind them, their wake seemed to affect my car a lot more than the Mercedes did; I was losing a lot of downforce and that upset the balance of the car. We were quite a bit faster, but it was really tricky for us to follow them. It was a close fight for quite a lot of times, at the beginning and at the end of the race. Finally we managed to pass them and then I overtook one of the Mercedes. It was not an easy day, but I gave my best and made a decent comeback.”

Baku 2017 comes to my mind. Bottas hitting Kimi, no penalty at all. There was another incident where Bottas hit Vettel, who hit Verstappen. No penalty. It's indeed inconsistent.

1) Bottas did take kimi out in baku ... then bottas finished 2nd in that race. (No penalty for bottas)
2) bottas took kimi & mad max in other race (no penalty for bottas)
3) mad max took vettel front wing last year (no penalty for max)
4) mad max had a slight tap with kimi in the last race which pushed kimi aside (but no penalty for mad max)
5) mad max involved in many 1st lap incidents (no penalties)
6) bottas took kimi out in China 2017 (no penalty for bottas)
7) vettel was doing 2nd FL in Canada q2 (think so), but boxed by many cars. Got slowed down by other cars. (No penalty to other drivers)

But when it comes to Ferrari, always penalties & penalty points towards license ...!! Good job FIA.... hats off.

Give your balls to mercs hands, they pray for it keeping in front of them.
