[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Let's have it right every single driver on the grid whinges like a self entitled brat.

That's been and gone now.

The history books will show Piastri was told to move aside for Norris to finish ahead of him.

He must now demand the same happens again under similar circumstances.

If he loses by <3 points this season he might never get another shot at the Championship with the new regulations and additional teams joining the sport.

Norris gave him back a win last season when only one of them had a chance to win the title.

It’s so funny how mad people get at Lando when Oscar was whining like crazy at Silverstone just a few weeks ago

Every single time at driver gets over taken these days the radio coms has them crying to their pit crew asking stewards to check something. It needs to stop.

I do wonder how many other champions would have done what Piastri did.

Verstappen wouldn't, Schumacher wouldn't, Hamilton maybe but in a way he could attack straight away.

Think it was a missed opportunity for Piastri to pile on Norris who I don't think is the toughest mentally and would have crumbled after 2 bas weekends.

Add Vettel to the list also.

I was astounded (well, if it were a team without a very obvious heavily preferred driver) that the Championship leader was told to make way for his biggest rival.

Mistakes happen, get on with it. Will be very, very interesting to see what happens when there is a mistake that costs Piastri time/positions, especially if Norris is able to close up the gap.

The longer it gets into the season, the less likely he'll be to follow orders and the more chaos it will cause in the team—probably as far as leading Piastri to want to leave if this cost him a Championship.

At some point McLaren will have to stop playing the nicey nicey team card and let the 2 drivers and 2 sides of the garage just fight it out and see who wins the Championship. Piastri does seem to be looking a bit like a guy who thinks the team are behind his team mate.

Correct, it`s becoming a tedious trait like feigning injury & crying to the ref in football.

We go Brisca F1 racing around the UK and have done since the 70`s, down to earth tough racing , they just get on with it. BTCC is decent too plenty of elbows out there.

 

[McCall2Radzinski]

Fastest ever F1 race. I'm not sure why they have so few laps at Monza, considering it's the fastest track on the calendar. It'd at least encourage a two stop.

Because a GP is about 300km and Monza is about 300km.

I reckon Sutton should've got stung for tapping Ingram off at Thruxton.

Do you mean the one in to the final chicane under braking? If so i`d say no , he was right on the limit of braking and lost it, that wasn`t intentional to me. I like Sutton and Ingram but would edge towards Sutton who i think is having to over drive an inferior car to Ingram this year.

 

[McCall2Radzinski]

Yes, I get why it was let go. My logic is that he did lose it and denied Ingram an opportunity to get the best result possible. When these two are the ones going for the championship, you need to be a little harder.

They are top drawer in a Touring car these two, i`d like to see how they would go on in a faster single seat formula to be honest.

 

[McCall2Radzinski]

Idk about a single seater, as conditioning/background is a big contributor to being good in them. But I'd be disappointed in Sutton if he continues on in the BTCC and does not pursue a WEC drive. Ingram as well if he wins a couple more BTCC.

Yeah good call, i do wonder if Sutton will miss the elbows out leaning on each other of the BTCC though.
