Jenson said he'd have loosened his seatbelt with he thought he was getting out the first time.
but then what was actually wrong? the driver knows the tyres are fitted right or not, he obviously thought they weren’t, was told they were but then called in, they still did something to the tyres so presumably there was something up, and then sent him back out with apparently nothing fixed because he immediately needed to stop anyway? bizarre!

I can't fathom how a driver says there's a tear issue but the team no there's not.

I do like Lewis but such a poor loser. Max sailed past 😆 🤣.

Ferrari need to sort it out they're a joke

i thought that too! credit to george for being assertive. it’ll be an interesting debrief though, what with lewis just stalking past george on the footage. i like lewis for the most part but he’s such a sore loser.
Yeah he is a terrible loser, mainly because Mercedes never allowed Bottas to challenge him (apart from a couple of token times when it was actually inconsequential). George said it is almost impossible to do a restart on used tyres so why didn’t Lewis also know that? He was banking on George defending for him.

that’s why i’m at. yuki’s radio message sounded genuinely freaked out that his tyre(s) wasn’t fitted right - as a driver i don’t think you misjudge that. and something must have been wrong because they DID to something to his tyres when he came in? but it was still not fixed?

ferrari can’t keep burying their heads in the sand over the state they’re in tbh.

They changed his tyres from medium to soft. Maybe it was a suspension thing making it feel wobbly. To be fair Yuki always sounds dramatic in his radio messages!

some of the comments i’m seeing directed at george on twitter are wild. people do realise he’s a driver in his own right and not lewis’ sidekick right? he called for soft tyres and got them. lewis didn’t and…… didn’t. i don’t get what he was meant to do or what exactly he did wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️

I can’t believe you don’t know this but Lewis’s team can only ever be about him and him winning! When he does it’s all because he’s an amazing driver, when he doesn’t it because everyone is against him, including his own team, the FIA, team mate etc.
His woe is me act every time is really tiresome for his age and that fact that he’s the most successful driver ever.
I wish Bottas had been able to give him a fight more often.

Agreed. "Lewis would have won if it wasn't for George" erm mo he wouldn't. With Bottas stopping it meant a free pit stop change of tyres for all bit Mercs chose a different strategy.

Bottas won't have been allowed to fight him. He'll have had playing second fiddle in his contract.

Hamilton's a whingeing git and I'll be glad when he retires.

If Russell continues to stay ahead in the points, Lew Lew will 100% throw all his toys off the Toto train & take a sabbatical. You know, to meditate and be grateful... And wait until Mercedes develop a winning power train again 😂

Twitter is wild, Lewis could of pitted he didn't! George did, Max did. What did Lewis think oh I'm gonna stay first. George isn't going to play second fiddle and credit to him for making the call to pit. What a decent first season at Mercedes he is having, he could finish second.

He’s shown not only is a good driver but he can make the car work even if it’s not at the top of it’s game, he must be very thankful for his stint at Williams because he’s picked up alot

what today showed me, George is prepared to be ballsy and be like this is what we’re doing. Whilst they’re a team he can do what he wants, just like Lewis could

George def clocked his opportunity to get ahead of Hamilton via pitting onto softs. I don't for a second believe he thought he had tyre deg... He knew the others would pit! As someone else previously said, I'm surprised Mercedes let him pit. Goes to show, its not the Hamilton show this year & I am delighted 😂

Thank god there’s sane people here! I don’t understand the hate towards George at all. It’s like everyone got so used to Bottas playing second fiddle that they just expect every second driver at Merc to work for Lewis now. Good on George for going for it, he didn’t get into this sport to support someone else.

And don’t even get me started on the Yuki conspiracies.
