Great watching that vid of Max and Jos from 6 years back in the karting era and the struggles they had in F3 in particular concerning sponsorship and machinery.

Dang, right when the entire field was going to get DQ'ed and he would have won the championship.

JK in all seriousness hope he gets better soon.

Yeah that's what you get when you run around too much, just holding my breath about anyone else there.

The first straight is very short with just 169 meters .The softs will give more grip in the first meters , and MAX is on the clean side .
The asphalt temp. will drop fast in the dark with +/- 10°C .

MAX runs with a little rear wing to get a higher top speed in combination with a low downforce setup .

May the best driver win today and take it all ...

'God Bless everyone !!!

The countdown....Ough !!!

omg what a start for HAM

GuidoK · 12-12-2021, 07:06 AM

So what's HAM going to do with that little drama in the corner?

So the FIA is not going to act?

So, then Max' mission is clear....

Overtaking off track and taking advantage ? No further investigation for HAM !

Did he though?

The overtake wasn't the cleanest but would you really call that a force out? I can see why it could be looked at one but again one of those actions where it can be interpreted both ways.

Fliplegend · 12-12-2021, 07:13 AM

Max is so predictable. Lewis KNEW has gonna try to torpedo him.

Yes, unless Lewis came to a complete stop he was forced off the track. Max lunged from WAY back and Lewis had ZERO room to turn into the corner and it looked like they touched. Had Lewis not taken evasive action before the apex, Max would've slammed right into him. Max set the standard for that in Brazil.

HAM got a Rocket start and think MAX got a lot wheelspin...

HAM is currently +/- 0.2 sec. faster . Gap is already 2.5 sec ...

HAM was clearly and completely overtaking off track and got advantage . WTF FIA ?!?!
I'm lost in words !!!

Fliplegend · 12-12-2021, 07:15 AM

Wheatley crying hard right now.

M Hybrid V8 · 12-12-2021, 07:16 AM

Max is on softs and still getting walked by HAM. Now his rear tires are already falling off. Those softs did him no good at the start of the race.

Maybe he shouldn't have flat spotted his mediums in Q2. But I'm sure that is HAM's fault too.
