PolePositionist

Sorry, but I’ve got to have a small rant here, and I know it's the first race weekend. Yes, we’re at one of the worst tracks for energy harvesting and recharging, but seeing cars slow down massively halfway down a straight just isn’t F1. I don’t really have a problem with the chassis rules or the aero (if you look past the active aero). The problem is clearly the PU regs. A 50/50 or 53/47 split was always going to be difficult once they removed the MGU-H. These cars are energy-starved. They could go much quicker through T9-10, but the PU just doesn’t allow it. The cars are lighter, more nimble, and generally look nicer to drive than the stiff, low-to-the-ground ground-effect cars from recent seasons. With a different engine split — something like 65/35 or 70/30 — they could’ve been really nice.

So sky sport saying one more time that Lewis didn't go fast in the entirety of the pit and didn't go fast in the exit they don't know why Lewis took penalty, @ScuderiaFerrari do your job one time. And they showed the videos off it.

@gurtyo_Gh0st No chance. They don’t care enough to do it. They’ve thrown away two P2s in both Silverstone and Hungary. They’re just not serious enough.

SURELY Ferrari appeals this.

@FormulaPace He had just been told about the potential penalty. To go from P2 to P5 changed his race.

I was baffled with his demeanour after Quali, very defeatist

What else to say about Hamilton apart from don’t get penalties. Clear air was everything, and he basically never had it. The one time he did, he was caught napping with Verstappen. The Ferrari engine didn’t help him there either we have to say, very tough to watch them fighting with such little power compared to others. Needless speeding in the pits penalty too, just so silly. Could’ve had P2 but truth be told McLaren should’ve had the 1-2. The Ferrari still has loads of work to do, title challenge is not even worth considering

@am_clutch44 Same as Silverstone. Why? Track position was always king around Hungaroring. Such a blunder.

Le choix totalement debile de le pit à la fin aussi

@Oreo74747 Yeah I know. That’s why I said it.

@PolePositionist I agree, but Lewis himself also needs to fix up, he's got all the pace in the world but there's been an error one too many in the last few races on top of bad luck.

Last tweet from me for a while. Lewis was P2. He had track position on the hard tyre that would’ve gone the distance. I don’t know why they decided to pit him under the VSC. Had he lost no places then it would’ve been okay, but they saw how difficult it was to overtake. Why are you giving up track position? Thrown away a podium. They aren’t serious about winning the championship, not at all. They gotta fix up during the break. Lewis and Ferrari both have to fix up. They have to be PERFECT in the second half of the season. They won’t be, but that’s the level they need.

Before the race Fred was talking about how important track position is. When Lewis asked if he would be okay for the end of the race on the second hard tyre Santi said focus for now and we will manage tyres when ahead of Verstappen. And then they go and fucking give up track position when we have seen ALL DAY that you cannot pass. They could have claimed a P2, Max’s softs would have not been in good enough condition to attack at the end. Holy shit the incompetence. Could have EASILY put a few points on Antonelli, and instead they give up more points, do they even care? Shit man they’re not even willing to attempt going for the championship

What a mess these last 3 weekends have been. From both Lewis himself and Ferrari. Summer break comes at a good time. Regroup and go again. It’s not been good enough.

Saint will never tell Lewis about a pen lol. The other car gets to know tho 😂

@fiagirly Why does he never tell him?!??

📻 | Bryan to Leclerc: “Hamilton has a 5 second time penalty. You are 5.1s from him. Hamilton 23.0” Santi yet to tell Hamilton he has a penalty.

@thrtysvnth Charles knows it

SANTI TELL HIM OR ELSE

5 second pen. Santi can you please tell him!!!

Santi is probably not gonna tell Lewis about that investigation either? Probably should so he can try to build a 5 second gap to Charles.

I don’t know how we aren’t gaining points on Kimi this weekend. Talk about not maximising your weekend. Now it’s speeding in the pitlane too.

What a mess this race has been. A MESSS.

Yeah. Kimi was ahead.

Kimi was ahead at the SC line.

Lewis just in front of Kimi.
