What 6 F1 Legends JUST SAID About Hamilton's Charge Is SHOCKING For Antonelli!

Lewis Hamilton, is he a victim of inconsistent stewarding, again gets another penalty, goes 1.1 kilometre per hour over the pit lane speed limit, or is a penalty a penalty a penalty? Well you're talking to a guy that doesn't believe in this whole penalty rulebook system anyway, so in that sense I think he is a victim, but no more than say Kimi Antonelli recently has been a or indeed Charlotte Clerks got away with it, so in that sense he is, in the sense of I think it wasn't his fault because all the drivers these days rely on radio transmissions from the team to tell them about traffic and it's interesting how often GP talks over Max when Max is finishing a lap and he wants to talk about how terrible the car is and GP immediately says plus three Gasly or whatever you know just completely over talks over his head to make Max move to the right even though he's just got over the start finish line and qualified whatever he's immediately on the case but that didn't happen with Lewis you know he finished his qualifying lap and the next thing we hear or see is Piastri zapping past and there's no you know no reference at all and that's not Lewis's fault because they should be much more on the case at Ferrari and they should be saying the minute Lewis crosses the start finish line it should have been Piastri is on a push lap move over you know but there was none of that so but it's Lewis against the penalty obviously has to sorry has to bear the brunt of the penalty by the grid position thing and losing a grid position or three grid positions in Hungary is a huge huge penalty around Hungary from the point of view of potentially being on the wrong side of the road he wasn't in this case he's still on the clean side but of how difficult it is to overtake an earned position in Hungary that was a huge thing so that's that's Ferrari and I think it was a correct penalty because Piastri lost his lap and ironically ended up you know effectively p3 well he was p3 on the grid and and that you know worked out for him um but Ferrari need to get their act together there you know that it seems to me that there's just the communication between Lewis and Carlos is much too slow there's nothing you know nothing edgy about it and a couple of times Lewis has to has to ask the same question two or three times to get any response and that you know you can't have that if you look at the best driver engineer or two of the best in Formula One driver engineer relationships on the radio it's got to be Max with GP and it's got to be Kimi with Bono isn't it and everything there is boom as it should be but it's not with Lewis it's there's much too much slack there and you can see the frustration in his voice and and and and did you see the hear the the interplay at the end of fp3 when he was doing the practice start and he they said okay Lewis um three burnouts whatever start on the right and Lewis immediately says how many practice starts are we doing quite quickly like that you know and they no response at all and they say on the right three and he says no no how many practice starts we doing he says uh only one Lewis in that case I'm going to start on the left which was a indicative of Lewis starting to take control of everything which is right because you know he did start on the left and secondly slightly you know not more than slightly very slow reactions from Carlos to what Lewis wanted to know and Lewis was absolutely correct you know he wants to start on the left do that do the practice down on the left and they need to tighten that up it's much better with um with Charles and Brian I think that's a much much more harmonious bang bang bang thing and and it works quite well now for those two but that whole Lewis thing I mean in to some extent the whole penalty was just the lack of communication but then you know the 80.1 you can't split hairs you know you're either you're either over it or you're not and if you are and he was the only one that was over 80 if there were five drivers 0.1 over again if you're Ferrari you'd be saying well you know stuff that we're not going to serve that penalty we'll do it after the race after Monaco but if he was he seemed to be the only one I think they got a speeding fine yesterday in the pit lane so you've got to take that on board but then of course on top of that you had the the business of the passing before the safety car and having to go that that slack I mean what is that again again maybe maybe a Bono would have been on the radio saying be very careful safety car line you've got Kimi on your outside make sure you don't pass him but maybe Bono would be doing that and and he's not and Lewis is not getting that at Ferrari yeah and Lewis is the sort of guy that I think if you're given that sort of framework I think he's fine with that this seems like they're absolutely you know at issue with how to handle Lewis and what to tell him what not to tell him should he be told about the penalty this and that they're sort of treading on ice all the time with Lewis and or hot coals better better analogy and and that's wrong you know they give the Lewis give Lewis the information he needs Peter what do you make about the um some said that if Ferrari were being fair Lewis being ahead in the driver's standings as versus Charles that what they should have done is told Charles to chill out mate Lewis has got a five second penalty and he's leading the championship so what are you doing here instead Charles Leclerc makes sure that he's less than five seconds adrift of of Lewis Hamilton and gains himself an extra two points what do you make of that Peter complete nonsense anybody that's thinking of the world championship midway through the year doesn't know what they're doing uh if already Charles was out of the championship mathematically and Lewis had a chance of winning it or maybe finishing second or something maybe you would do that but midway through the year give me a break that's nonsense so some say that championships have been lost by less than two points though right Peter and you gotta at some point you've gotta pick a side though well yeah absolutely which is why you don't want to keep getting penalties if you lose Hamilton you know that's that's the point but you can't start when it's a penalty thing particularly you can't at this stage of the year expect the other driver suddenly to to slow down that's that's crazy yeah I mean that's that's that's thinking about the world championship gone completely skew and it's not the right way to think at all just to loop the on the penalties I was interested to hear what Lewis said after the fact and I quote him as saying the last three races there have been some mistakes that have been very costly there are mistakes that these are the type of the mistakes that lose championships he continues I keep giving the FIA chances to if I keep giving the FIA chances to penalize me then I won't be winning anything it is Lewis alluding to the fact that he thinks that he's been victimized again by the FIA I don't think so no I think he's saying we don't know if every penalty we don't know if every potential infringement is going to result in a penalty but I've got to stop putting myself in a position where they can even make a decision about that and have no more of this nonsense and as I said I don't think he deserved the penalty in Spa and I stand by that and I think that fits in with the way it went there but because they gave the penalty to Lewis I suppose you could then say well they should have given one to Charles but I don't think Lewis should have got that that's the first thing I think that was all a function of the ridiculous you know regulations we have this year and on all you know speed differentials going down the Kemmel straight going up the Kemmel straight um and I think all the other stuff you know pit lane speeding definitely is in the control of Ferrari not so much Lewis but Ferrari and in the margins they have definitely the giving the position back to Kimi is in the control of Lewis Hamilton but again coming back to the point it's it's it's the it's the relationship between Lewis and his engineer and getting enough information to be able to respond to that and I still question the whole business of not letting Lewis know if he does have a penalty so that he can then think about how he's driving what he wants to do and what he might want to do with strategy as well
