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.

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 😁

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

Aggressive is fine, dumb and desperate is not.

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.

Bruh. I typed in plain English. I am not a Hamilton fan, so I have no bias.

And I have already address this.

Hamilton was practically level with him BEFORE the corner. And as can be clearly seen, there is space for Charles to move left. He is behind Gasly, and Russell and Max are all the way over to the other side of the track. He had space on his outside. Lots of it.

1789125811205.png

Hamilton gave him space to make the first part of the chicane. He has as much space as Russell had.

1789126009615.png

Notice how 6 other drivers make it through the chicane side-by-side without anybody being run off the track. If you watch the race start at speed, you can see Max (an aggressive driver) back out just enough to stay tight and give the McLaren space on the outside, and he managed to retain his position.

In fact, a whole stream of cars get through their side-by-side.

Except for the Ferraris, because of Charles. And Charles acknowledges this.

Case closed, move on.

Dumb and desperate is the diving you saw on the first corner from someone that won 1 race in 2 years with the help of a safety car and was out qualified by his teammate again.

I have now idea why you keep posting the same things. What does space to Charles's left have to do with anything? If he moves left, right or stay on the same line, he still have to turn and leave space for his divebombing teammate. And that he did, not his teammate leaving him space, Charles left space for the divebomber to turn., he was ahead. You admit this because to keep claiming practically level. If Charles was not ahead you would say they were level.
Simple as that. He got no penalty. His teammate chose to be aggressive, Charles decided to be aggressive back and now the Sir is crying and the British mafia. pressured Charles to say he is at fault for the second corner. Yet they did not ask Lewis why he would be so aggressive on the first corner with his teammate?
Charles qualified ahead of his teammate. He had a better start than his teammate. What universe will a team blame him for this? His teammate should have backed off.
