Formula 1 - Round 7 Azerbaijan (23 June)

[Forward Press]

On a championship note this will continue getting uglier for the Seb v Lewis rivalry. They were normally on somewhat cordial terms before, so this whole ramming thing took me completely by surprise. Future cool down room interactions will now be more icy than Nico v Lewis.

Whether Lewis was brake testing him or not is irrelevant - Seb's perception is that this was a deliberate move by Lewis to unsettle and endanger him and all the telemetry in the world won't change that. This will get ugly, guaranteed. I still don't think he admits what he did was wrong - and it was, only the worst Seb apologists will say he was in the right on that one. Deliberately hitting another car (under safety car, no less) is one of the most serious offences in F1.

Put toto in black and white, insert that footage of him slamming his fist angrily into Downfall, and the average viewer won't tell the difference between team boss of Merc and one of Hitlers top generals of the SS

I love it. If we are going to have a boring 2 driver season, at least hope they wind each other up. Not like either of them are likeable blokes.

Fact is, no matter what, you cannot deliberately drive into another car. I suspect Ferrari bosses will have words with Vettel behind the scenes, Seb seems to need a bit of anger management.

Hamilton: I don't really care about it.

Na mate, you cried like a little bitch. You care.

5 seconds later Hamilton: Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

So glad 2017 allows rewinding TV. Means I don't miss his further sooking.
Could fill a lake with his tears.

It looked like he was so busy gesticulating at Hamilton with his hand of the wheel he pulled into him. Doesn't matter though, still equally at fault by pulling up there and taking his hand of the wheel.

Going to make the rest of the season quite tasty imo

THE SPIRIT OF THE SHOEY

IT LIVES ON

Lawrence Stroll seems like he should be a dad in a Sit Com.

 

[hey shorty]

For a sport that has no physical contact, player spats are unrivalled here compared to anything else.

When you're doing something this dangerous it's probably fair enough.

 

[hey shorty]

GOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Should have been 2.

 

[Sue Ridgepipe]

LOL, that was nuts. How the hell am I supposed to get to sleep now, 2am and I'm totally wired.

Dunno about the spirit of the Shoey, more the spirit of Steven Bradbury.

Vettel really is a petulant child, hopefully he gets a points penalty or even better a one race ban for deliberately ramming Lew-Lew. Ridiculous.

Once again Kimi and Maxi get nothing, in a race Nando thought he had a chance of winning with a non lawn mower power unit, and Force India once again shoot themselves monumentally in the foot.

ADR won that race with the restart dive bomb into turn one, great moving, great opportunistic driving, and superb commentary by Crofty.

Honda mowers are more reliable.

Some very strong words from Hamilton and Vettel. Curious to see if there'll be more consequences to this.
