Damn, Hamilton sure is impressive.
Doohan at the end 🤦
Unnecessary collision between Lawson and Doohan.
Lawson seems very desperate
Already, and it's the second weekend. I think if he doesn't turn it around he won't last through summer break
I agree. There’s a distinction between hungry but raw and desperate, and he’s been driving desperate since the races last season. If he were in VCARB you could justify this as a development season, but he’s just not set up to have a chance. His attitude hasn’t done him any favors either.
If you want to be really really confused, read what the stewards said about it.
"We applied the Driving Standards Guidelines as a guide to determine who had the right to the corner. Applying those guidelines, it is clear that LAW was well ahead of DOO at the apex of the corner and was entitled to use the full track at the exit.
DOO should therefore have given LAW sufficient room to overtake and his failure to do so resulted in a minor collision. As the resulting collision was minor, we took no further action."
You're right. I'm really confused.
What
Should have resulted in a penalty, even though the impact to Doohan was minimal.
But also Doohan shoulda earned his own at the end...
Yuki in his villain arc. Putting the VCARB in 6th while Lawson in the RB is in 15th.
Hadgar is such a neat kid I'm totally rooting for him and to see his quali!!!
Hm, I never heard that there are F1 races in China, since when do they have them?
The first one was in 2004.
It was cancelled for a few years from 2020 due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
