Yeah right ! HAM tried it more than once . With MAX in his car and while MAX was out the car .

I'm pretty sure HAM's manoeuvre was dangerous at that moment !

That's why MAX got the 3P grid penalty

Where are all the 1ewis scHAMilton peeps? Did they take their toys and go home?

Maybe the final analysis from stewards was rushed. I think say four days or more should pass before any decision (if any) would be made taking in all the points that come up afterwards.

Yep, 1ewis is for 1 legitimate WDC

Without Team MB and luck he damn sure wouldn't be 7ewis

How many would Seb have without Redbull? or Schumacher without Ferrari?

Agree, it's usually the best driver, in the best team, with the best luck!!!

Thats why it's 1ewis instead of 7ewis. HAM earned 1 and was gifted 6.

Hoping 2022 brings closer racing with more teams in the mix.

I don't want Indy Car but the turbo hybrid era has been a disaster!!!

Another great track, I love the surroundings and it's super duper fun to drive in the F1 games.

After FP1 Ham is six thousandths of a second ahead of Max on a track where Merc is rumoured to dominate.

Just in that Max will have fresh engine for the race (which was always on the cards for Sochi) as FP2 about to start.

As Max is starting last on Sunday there is no point in him wringing the neck out of his new PU in FP2 with Honda AT's Gasly shadowing the Mercs now in third.
If rain should disrupt the quali then it will be Bot on pole as he was quicker than Ham.

Actually the real question is how many WDCs if 1ewis stayed at McLaren or moved to Ferrari? He wanted a new challenge right

NO, Niki whispered MB secrets in his ear

Evidently there's a good chance heavy rain arrives right at qualifying time. If it does, and Saturday is a washout, qualifying would be postponed till Sunday morning...but if it's still raining too hard, then it's this...
" Should qualifying be unable to be completed for whatever reason on the alternative time of Sunday morning, then the times from FP2 will set the grid."
Bottas would then be pole sitter. Regardless of what goes though, Verstappen starts last...with Leclerc just ahead. Should be interesting.
