I agree with Karun.
I think those changes isn’t to change the mapping, but to ignore certain sensors to bypass engine protections. Typically these engine issues are the software seeing something wrong with a sensor and kicking in protection to not grenade. Teams analyze if it’s ok to bypass and instruct drivers on turning on the necessary bypass.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Neat! That was interesting to hear; sense of panic with some calmness and coding. Italian tuneup on the fly roflThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Max vs Hamilton was basically a game of chicken. I was rooting for Max but he pinched Lewis.

That’s actually a good run down on the first lap. Note ham backing out of turn 6 while way ahead. He knows he’s got more to lose knowing max going to claim the line. Ham isn’t “lucky” in his incidents, it’s just good risk assessment.
I also find the Schumacher comparisons to Hamilton funny because if you’ve followed his career, his chop is actually what max did, not Hamilton haha.

Classic vortex of danger accident.
Just catching up to this thread. Never seen this before, any links cuz I’m genuinely curious what the official rules of engagement are.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That said, I think this is more of a description of a divebomb. Hamilton was alongside at entry. He did slow down though which is how his front wheels hit Max’s rears. Screen cap of in car at entry:

I agree with you @rage2 .... Hamilton knew exactly what he was doing and when he was going to do it. It was excellent risk management.
Ouch
While I agree that it's a racing incident, as neither would back out. But I feel they need to issue the penalty regardless. It's a much bigger impact than Norris or Perez last race and the definition is that Lewis caused the accident being the car that's doing the overtaking, you have to have control over your car. Martin Brundle was surprising logically to state that fact (and not being a Lewis fanboy).
Fun analysis I found.

Covers a bunch of passes at copse.

So lots of drivers can manage a pass at Copse....except Lewis.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Fair enough. I give credit to Mercedes for not complaining too much about the rake issue (although arguably, Mercedes delegated that job to Otmar).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I suspect they would whine a lot more if issues didn't typically break in their favour (rear wing, anyone?) but I guess we'll wait and see how the season plays out.
1) Two drivers, who have been fighting for position on lap 1 basically all year, creating contact?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
2) Why shouldn't Bottas pull aside for Hamilton? Bottas has been behind LeClerc all race and wasn't able to close the gap. Hamilton is pushing and was able to close the gap (on, I think, slightly fresher tyres). If your teammate is making the push, why would you hold them up? A potential 1-3 finish is better than a 2-3 finish, no? It's not like Bottas moved out of the way for another driver/team like Norris.
3) Again, Bottas, for whatever reason, wasn't able to catch up to the same Ferarri that was having engine issues.

This is a cool story about Vettel after Silverstone.

If someone wanted to pay me Vettel’s contract to pick up trash I’d do it with the biggest smile on my face lmao

Also, the Ferrari was only having engine issues mid race. It was corrected and didn’t have those issues at the end.

So take your win and stfu Lewis. It's the "I'm proud" nonsense that makes Lewis look dumb.
