Well, I think Max should have twatted him properly rather than the girly handbag pushing and shoving. May as well be hung for a sheep than a lamb Wink

I must be getting old, looks like two kids, handbags lol.   Tongue    Laughing

FIA Formula 1 race director Charlie Whiting says Esteban Ocon was not wrong to try to unlap himself in the Brazilian Grand Prix but fighting Max Verstappen was "wholly unacceptable".

Mercedes believed that Lewis Hamilton's engine was about to fail early in the Brazilian Grand Prix before the world champion went on to win.

On lap 28, the Mercedes power unit engineers reported that a failure was "imminent" for Hamilton, due to an exhaust issue that had led to high temperatures.

At the time Hamilton was urgently trying to make up ground after his early pitstop dropped him out of the lead.
"We have the engine guys here in the back, and then we have them back at base," team principal Toto Wolff explained.

"I have about 10 channels open, and what I could hear on the meeting channel was 'Lewis Hamilton, power unit failure imminent. It's going to fail within the next lap'.

"And I put the volume up and said, 'Excuse me, what?' And they said, 'Yeah, we have a massive problem on the power unit, it's going to fail on the next lap'.

"But it didn't fail the next lap, and I said, 'When you guys have a minute, tell me what's happening'.
"'Well, our exhaust is just about to fail, and we're overshooting all the temperature limits'.

"I said, 'So what's the fix?' They started to fix it by turning the whole thing down. The temperatures went down to below 1,000, to 980 degrees. But it's still too high! That was truly horrible."

Wolff admitted that he was surprised that the car finished the race.

Asked if the engine was supposed to be raced in Abu Dhabi and thus there might be some concerns about it, he said: "I've not thought that far! I'm not quite sure. Probably, yeah."

I read this too. It's not like it matters really, apart from meaning LH will have no real chance of adding to his win tally this year. Mercedes aren't going to be bothered if they need to whack in PU4 and take a grid penalty. I'm expecting Abu to be the usual bore fest - not one of my favourites Wink

Hmmm...……………… Could they tune it up to quali/chainsaw mode for the whole race as it only has to do one, that would be fun.   Big Grin

I like Ocon, he's ALWAYS smiling.

My previous sig was obsolete, McLaren ain't disappointing Heshy no more.
