Charles has literally accepted blame for running Lewis off the track.

And I already posted images from the race, that was no divebomb. Lewis was practically level with him when they hit the braking zone. Lewis also gave him space to make the second part of the chicane.

Please. Your little screenshots shows nothing. Do you have that little logic that you think you can judge braking from a picture?
Go watch the race video. Charles had the best start. When they started braking Hamilton was still behind Charles. He dived in, then compromising both. Charles could not brake later as he had a car in front of him. LOL the commentators literally said Hamilton diving inside.

Any driver would have done exactly what Charles did to other driver. But now that its his teammate he is wrong? All the commentators, even Rosberg said it was an aggressive move by Hamilton and it would have annoyed Charles.

What drivers say after they had team talk discussing PR and politics is not always the truth.

It wasn't a divebomb.

Charles had enough space on his left to fit a whole other car while Lewis was pulling alongside him.

Glad you brought Rosberg up, as live on air he said Lewis had the corner and immediately said Charles was at fault for running Lewis off the track.

Being aggressive doesn't make it a divebomb or stupid.

And as pointed out, even though it was aggressive, Lewis still gave Charles space to make the second part of the chicane.

Lewis was already along side before the breaking point. The 'dive bomb' rhetoric seeing everywhere is really baffling.

I don't foresee Clucky ever getting a Wdc. He doesn't have the smarts for that. Sadly, because he is a brilliant driver.

Nailing himself to Ferrari won't help his cause either, because they seem to get in their own way at the best of times.

I also saw a stat that no F2 champion has ever been an F1 champion, something that could curse Russell and Piastri as well. 9 F2 champions since the inception of the championship, and none of them have won an F1 title.

Going off on a tangent here, the last GP2 champion to win an F1 title was Lewis Hamilton, and he won his GP2 title in 2006. Seems like winning F1's feeder series is a poisoned chalice.

OK so end of the pigeon chess.

Agreed. Pointless engaging with you when your bias against Lewis is well known. My mistake.

Charles was also aggressive, does not make him wrong, did not get penalty.
What goes for one teammate should go for the other.

Agreed, like Charles not running Lewis off the track after Lewis had given him space to make the chicane.

Have a lekker weekend.

Agreed
Check you bias for Hamilton. He is always right and all the others are wrong.
Alonso, Vettel, Rosberg, Verstappen, Leclerc, Raikkonen all wrong.

Hamilton may be aggressive but Charles may not be. LOL

Wow such copium must cost a lot of energy to produce, hope you have some ProNutro at hand 😁

Lewis was entitled to space, it wasn't a dive, Charles had enough space to manoeuvre and stay ahead of Lewis if he kept his head straight. Evidenced by the line Russell took right in front of him vs where Charles put his car. That's why Charles admits his fault, not team politics. Stop defending him, he doesn't need you to...besides he obviously lost his cool after knowing he just screwed his team, then lost focus, got swamped and ended up in the wall. It was a mess that could've been avoided, but typical modern Ferrari behaviour, it's infectious 😁

I am not a Hamilton fan.

For what it matters, the last driver I supported was Michael Schumacher, so I appreciate an aggressive driver. I also know when they have taken it too far, and Charles ran his teammate off the track when his teammate had given him space.

Sure but Rosberg blamed Charles Leclerc 100 percent for the collision itself, arguing that Hamilton was ahead at the apex and entitled to room. You don't get to pick and choose bud.

"Dear stewards, I was annoyed with an aggressive F1 driver." :laugh:
 
I dont think Leclerc or Ferrari is ready for a championship and they only have themselves to blame. As much as i life Fred, however I think Horner would be able to deliver a championship with ferrari provided he is left to do his thing and doesnt have the big bosses of ferrari dictating

It shouldn't be a farce like Monza because there's lots of braking and no long straights.

If the F3 is anything to go by, there will be at least one red flag

I recon 3 red flags and 3 impeding (qualifying) penalties this weekend.

I don't like the layout, but lets see what happens.
 
Geez, that track looks narrow a lot of the time. I don't hope it's going to be one of those tracks where it's just a parade behind whoever qualifies fastest.

Only real overtaking spot seems that long bank. I also suspect some crashes coming up as it's brand new.

You see there is your Hamilton bias again. Where did Hamilton give him space? Charles was supposed to be turning into the corner here. He is in front. Yet HE does not turn into his divebombing teammate and leave space for his teammate to make the corner. Yet you claim Hamilton left him space

You see? Charles can't turn because the clown divebombed. Look at the cars ahead

I don't think Horner would be a cultural fit plus he'd rebuild from scratch and it'd be chaos for Ferrari's image in Italy.

It's a shame that Ferrari didn't keep binotto to run the garage and bring in Fred to run the team instead of how it played out. Binotto produced the best outcome in years yet silly mistakes didn't translate into a championship.

I honestly don't think chopping the head off again would do anything but set them back 2-3 years to begin to build again. Fred should be given the latitude and at least the same time afforded to Todt and co. to produce an outcome.
