RE: F1 || Race 10 || Great Britain Review
I watched the race with my husband, I think Hamilton had to receive a penalty more in line with the ones he did to Max since at the first corner Hamilton took his direct rival out of the race.
As I would have wanted Charles Leclerc to win the race, but despite Hamilton serving his penalty, the Mercedes was better than the Ferrari, although I will not deny it, Hamilton and Max are the best drivers today, but Lando Norris has a very promising future as he surpasses his teammate Daniel Ricciardo by a lot of difference in each race.
I think that's what sometimes makes the penalties unfair. If that accident had happened between Mazepin and Latifi (for example), it would probably only have been a 5 second penalty. The penalties almost never seem to fit the crime when somebody crashes out.
I'm amazed Leclerc didn't go on to win. I know there was an issue with his engine but I think Ferrari thought they were so far ahead that Lewis would never catch up (and then overtake).
Of all the other young drivers, I think it's George Russell who's a future world champion. He's doing this with the Williams that drivers in far better cars aren't doing. I'm a big fan of Lando too (being British, we hear a lot from him) but once Russell goes to Mercedes, he'll be at the top for a while.
