Probably that was a good move by HAM to remain silent over the radio . Otherwise MAX never pitted and won this race !

"PITTY"
If Red Bull had 'spotters' with walkie talkies then for sure Horner would never have made the call for tyres for Max.

On the other hand : The weather forecast for next weekend is hotter .
At least over here for the next 14 days , another heatwave is coming with next weekend 35/37°C !
It's 33C next week here so possibly much hotter for Silverstone than today and the hotter it is the more pressure on the tyres

Honestly . Horner threw MAX his victory away ...

And the Mercs couldn't pit . Otherwise MAX won the race anyway !

The DARK side was today very.....Very Lucky !!!

You saw Bottas,tyre deflate happened within two bends and he's a rim rider.
If you ain't first, you're last

The very first close picture from MAX after the race from today ...As you can see he's #NotHappy !

I'm pretty sure he requested a meeting with Horner regarding the disaster pitstop in lap "51" of 52 .

i started to think Max should move to McLaren maybe.. next year with Merc' engines McLaren can make something special.. their chassis is not bad at all..

Old adage. Hindsight is 20:20. Real shame. I had almost turned off the race with 5 laps to go.....

Next week will be different, yet, all Teams are better informed about tires issues ,etc.

Thankfully, Milan San Remo is next Sunday

Cheers

Mate . I don't think so . Why ?
Because : As you can see MAX is the only driver from the rest of the field , who can defeat a Black Merc in his RB16 @Red Bull .
The rest is out of sight ...

MAX is more thinking of the new FIA'22 regulations . "Than" his time will come !
Meanwhile he can always play with the Blacks ...

Mate I see your point . But your statement is actually based on speculations .
And the Toto-Blacks would never agree with a faster McLaren with a Merc PU. So , nothing will change .

On the other hand : Poor SEB !

Would you think MAX would run into same trouble if he didn't pit? I might not recall correctly but the screen show his front left was down to 10% when he pit? Or was he able to push hard with those worn front left tire to catch HAM?

mate there is no trick with starting lights i explained it earlier with a prove.. a human being pushes a button to turn off all lights and start the race.. like this for many years.. no software or system can decide when he ll.. believing in such a system is just all fictional..

Mate . F1 experts and scientists saw what was going on ... But you still don't get it how it works .
BTW : MAX was running on hard tires . He could at least run "5" more laps with his tires ..
