I've not watched an F1 race for a long time so wondered what the dishing out of penalties was like. For a first lap overtake (9th corner) in a 52 lap long race I thought it was a bit desperate. When Hamilton took the lead from Le Clerc at the end at the same corner, Le Clerc gave him a bit more room, ran out onto the dirty track and was close to spinning. Ok, so the track would have had more marbles of rubber by then but shows what can happen. It was up to Hamilton to make a clean pass and he didnt. It did make for good entertainment for everyone else (Verstappen and crew aside) at the end though. Never give up.

Ecclestone put the boot in last week and said Hamilton would regret getting sidetracked with BLM and other nonsense like his clothing and music. I didn't even know Hamilton had tried a clothing line but I'd imagine it wouldn't be anything that has mass appeal given he often dresses like a large toddler that has been dressed by Billie Eilish not a man with hundreds of millions who should have some class. Look at this dapper champion. Effortlessly carrying off the look of white privilege.

Commentary on BBC website: Hamilton loses lead at restart after rest of the field pit and Hamilton starts on the grid alone
Might watch the highlights later.

Hammy may have long covid now as he couldn't get past Alonso. Time to stop racing then....
You can't claim to have blurred vision and keep racing.

After the Spa F1 farce it's the return of the Dutch F1 GP at Zandvoort, first time since 1985. How the fuck the two B-roads that access the track are going to cope with 75000 travelling Cloggies (and a few Belgians) I don't know. I won't be driving anywhere withinr a 30km radius of Zandvoort this weekend.

Well thank fuck for that, wingman Bottas is finally getting the boot. Maybe Hamilton will fall to bits like a cheap watch with some decent competition.

Just watching the final F1 race. WTF is Hamilton's team doing getting on the radio to race control to tell them not to put a safety car out? Its up to race control to decide whats safe and what isnt. Verstappen pitted for new tyres when they had to put the virtual safety car out and Hamilton didnt. They also has a moan to race control about Perez racing Hamilton as well when Hamilton caught him up. Looked fair and square to me, and race control. Too much crying wolf and when they have a genuine comment they might get ignored.

Now Red Bull on the radio to race control whilst they are trying to concentrate on getting the track clear. Race control change their minds on lapped cars getting out of the race. Verstappen takes it on a 1 lap restart because he has fresher tyre. Hamilton will be moaning about his team for years for not pitting, twice.
Overall, a crashed car decides it. BSB have the option of adding extra laps when there is a safety car. Makes that rule look very professional.

Mercedes team going through race footage looking for things Verstappen did wrong so they can protest. They reckon he overtook Hamilton under the safety car. Also letting 5 lapped cars through and not all lapped cars. Its going to be a long evening for the lawyers.

It looks well bungled. Comments I've seen:
1. The rules are vague. Well that's embarrassing. 2. Can't direct which cars may unlap themselves. 3. Safety car came in a lap early.
A sack of cack.
