JamesP_81 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 It's actually been a pretty poor season, even when the title battle was actually a battle. The tyres are absolutely terrible. They were talking about how Verstappen might not try and overtake the Mercedes' at the start because he wouldn't want to risk destroying the tyres. Pirelli need to sort it out or step aside as it's not been good enough from them.It's also not entertaining when the Red Bulls come through the field and I'm fed up of being told to be impressed by it.To be fair to pirelli they're just making a tyre to order. I've no doubt they could build a tyre that could be pushed to the max for the whole race but the rule makers want tyres that have very specific characteristics, all a bit artificial for my liking.

afc_36_0 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Not sure why commentators keep mentioning they want “a fair battle” between hamilton and vettel. They r the 2 best drivers in the 2 best cars this season and vettel has completely shat the bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrison Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Vettel hit with a 3 position grid penalty for failing to slow down under the red flag earlier on today.He really is his own worst enemy. Granted, the title is lost this year already, but what a mess he's made of it this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I don't normally wish ill on people, but if Hamilton put it in the wall and took himself out for the season it would be hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Vettel once again showing his lack of race-craft.

No as you don’t have to stay within a certain distance behind a car, it’s the earliest time of arrival which means the gaps will fluctuate during the lap - can be ten seconds ahead at one point, five seconds ahead a few corners later. Hamilton pits, this just got interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
