Its mean Max is just shit with tyre management.
F1 2021 Season

- Start date
Race director's trying to inject some more drama.
Lewis worried about the tyres now.
End of race I think?

Same old comments.
RED FLAG
The thread is going to descend into a mess.
Got to give Merc the best chance to get ahead of Perez
Why the feck is Di Resta saying that the race might not restart?! he hates Lewis doesn’t he
he hates Lewis doesn’t heRed Bull had so much downforce through the corners. That's why Merc massively outperformed them on the straights. Could've contributed to the failure.
Still unacceptable for the tyre to fail. No doubt .
Already has.
no so sure, they can change tyres ? still 3 laps left.
You make your own luck too. Look at Bottas in the same car.
I’ve tried to get into F1 these last few weeks and Christ I don’t know half of what is going on I’ve really enjoyed this race though!
I’ve really enjoyed this race though!Lewis should do the right thing and forfeit.
Pirelli are lucky the cars are how they are these days, otherwise they could be looking at being responsible for the serious injury (or worse) of 2 drivers. Both the Max and Stroll crashes are bad ones.
He obviously should have continued with three tires.what's with comments saying Max bottled it
Oh wow. You're what?
I don’t understand why he’s red flagged this and not just SC to the end.
To be fair, he’d be 8 time champion if he hadn’t been unlucky enough to have his engine blow in Malaysia the year Nico won. Or 9 time if his gearbox hadn’t stopped working for a lap in Brazil 07.
It’s mad how people seemingly just want to put it all down to luck!
So you are saying he hasn't had luck on his side.. come on. No doubting his talent but he has had some huge moments of luck throughout his career.
That's just incredible what's happened to Max. Must be absolutely devastated.
They were jinxing it earlier by saying how Pirelli were confident the tires could last till the end of the race.
And as mentioned in my comment posted almost simultaneously with yours, he’s been cost at least one title by luck as well
Guess what? So has almost every single world champion ever.
And bad luck. As has been detailed by other posts.
They all should have changed tyres. Hamilton obviously kept his tyre in better condition. Is that luck?
Weirdly Russell pitted on the first lap and is still going fine
Hope they don't restart. Adding drama for the sake of it.
True. Really poor. Dangerous stuff.
and other drivers have not benefitted over the years, it is made out like Lewis is the only one that benefits.
Seb came out the best from the SC , he was nowhere near the podium, but now he is in 3rd, but yeah Lewis is lucky !
You mustn’t have been watching the season he lost to Rosberg.
And as @gormless just pointed out he's had awful luck too that cost him championships. It goes both ways.
This title race is still far from over. Red Bull seem to be getting stronger as the season goes on. Max will be back in the hunt soon enough .
Yeah obviously a huge feck up on their part. Stroll didn't even have much wear. Max is very good at managing tires too, his were definitely no worse than Perez or Hamilton. Red Bull now saying there was absolutely no indication the tires were in bad shape.
One thing Perez has over Max is tyre management and its proved right in this race
Assuming it's not a complete coincidence and both Lance and Max picked up a puncture on the same tyre in the same place, it's completely unacceptable for Pirelli to allow tyres which could fail at 200mph. Nothing either Stroll or Verstappen could do. Luckily both are OK.
and I thought I'm a fanboy
