I think bizarre sums it up. Other than the Mercs being quick I don't think it's indicative of how
the season will go - but I've been wrong before...
Generally F1s first race of the season is on fairly benign tracks, not shark-toothed go kart tracks
like this one. Maybe running here for the first race accelerated the pace at which faults with the
various cars showed up? Normally they'd be over a few races? Dunno really.

It kept me watching from beginning to end, even with German commentary, so
on that basis I enjoyed it.
Just good to have the racing back.
I seem to be at odds with others in my view of Hamilton's penalty being a
little over-harsh - it felt to me more like Albon drove into him, rather
than the other way around, but Hamilton seemed to take the penalty with a
reasonable degree of grace (externally, for the press anyway) and he knows
there's plenty of time to claw back the points.
I'm intrigued to see how the next race shakes out - might it be a "two by
two" race as each team has learned so much from this run out?

also not sure what else he could do. Stills will always give a very
partial view of a dynamic situation.
Given the relative speeds and road positions, I think the only thing he
could have done was to back off before the corner (which was before
Albon was in the lead). By the time Albon was ahead, he was already
committed to that line.
So, right to be penalised, but I honestly can't see how he could have
given more space without a crystal ball or not being committed to
racing.

particular line. There is this thing called the accelerator (or
throttle) pedal.
Both cars are past the apex of the corner by the time contact is made
and that means that both drivers should be on the power. If Hamilton had
come OFF the accelerator pedal, he could have tightened his line enough
to avoid contact.

And no, Hamilton was not "committed to that line" on the

Albon had a real decent chance to win that race.

By the time they get to the inside curb, both drivers have finished
their braking and will be on the accelerator to use as much of the road

When Hamilton and Albon get to that inside most position, Albon's nose
is AHEAD of Hamilton's. Even if he were not ahead, he would still
clearly be entitled to racing room.

Hamilton defended the inside as one normally would, but Albon had too
much more grip and so was ahead by a nose when the reached the apex.
From before that point, both would have been on the accelerator, and
how much accelerator Hamilton used controlled how wide his car would go
at least as much as the steering wheel did.
He chose to keep accelerating and that caused contact with a car that
was entitled to racing room.

Late apexing is precisely when you get to throttle before the apex.
There was no clear outside line he could have taken. He was already on a
line which would have ended on the kerbing. Opening his line any more
would put him off track.

Albon was along side (and actually slightly ahead) as they reached the apex.
He is entitled to racing room. For get the edge of the track, Hamilton
is not allowed to drive into him, period. And I know this will come as a
shock to you (because you really know fuck all about driving), but
Hamilton's hands aren't the only thing determining what line the car takes.
If they had been on the straight, would it be acceptable for Hamilton to
turn the steering wheel and hit Albon as he tried to pass? No.
If they reached turn in, and Albon had gotten just mostly along side on
the INSIDE, is Hamilton allowed to drive into him? No.
So why is he allowed to drive into him by letting the car understeer
into by using the accelerator?

a driver cannot see a car overtaking on his left at that point. As
Coulthard has acually driven the corner quite a few times, i think I
will take his opinion over yours.

Given the relative speeds and road positions, I think the only thing he
could have done was to back off before the corner (which was before
Albon was in the lead). By the time Albon was ahead, he was already
committed to that line.
So, right to be penalised, but I honestly can't see how he could have
given more space without a crystal ball or not being committed to
racing.

Because at the point where they collided Albon was clearly ahead of
Hamilton and there is NO WAY Hamilton could not have seen him.
At just after 1:36:00 mins, Coulthard talks about how people with lack
of experience of driving a Formula One car don't really understand the
full context of incidents like this. At 1:36:43 he says "At turn 4,
when you are through that apex, you don't have an eye in the back of
your head - if you know someone who does, let me know - so you know,
there's an assumption, especially as you roll into that apex, you've
got track position."
You might note the bit about *when you are through that apex* and
apologise for trying to call me out on this but I won't hold my breath
waiting.
what he said more than you.
What you ignore is the SECOND part about "apex":
'so you know, there's an assumption, especially as you roll INTO that
apex, you've got track position.'
But Hamilton KNEW where Albon had to be as they rolled INTO the apex.
And he most certainly saw where Albon was when they were AT the apex.
Albon was right beside him and slightly ahead; completely unmissable.

excerpted
"FIA race director Michael Masi has given insight into the stewards’
decision to penalise Lewis Hamilton for his late-race collision with
Alexander Albon. ----
While Masi does not rule on incidents himself, he can refer them to
stewards for their deliberation. He believes the positioning of the cars
at the time of contact prompted their decision to penalise Hamilton.
“I think from what the stewards saw and having looked at it, obviously
Alex had some momentum around the outside,” he said. “And the fact of
the contact point, from what I’ve understood from their explanation,
from Lewis’s front-left to Alex’s rear-right, was why they did not deem
that a racing incident.
“They felt that Alex effectively was on the edge of the track, give or
take, and had completed the overtaking manoeuvre. So for them, there
wasn’t anything more to add, it was a quite simple driving infringement
for causing a collision.”
A few years ago I had similarly passed someone around
the outside, and I was right at the edge of the track,
when the other car came out from the apex and hit me.
He got a ticket / citation and fine.
It was clear to the Steward, when he saw the other cars
tire 'donuts' were to the rear of my wheels.
(He was a Formula C, I was in a Sports Racer.)
That ticket really irritated him, because I had suffered
no damage, but his car bounced accross and off track badly.

"FIA race director Michael Masi has given insight into the stewards’
decision to penalise Lewis Hamilton for his late-race collision with
Alexander Albon. ----
While Masi does not rule on incidents himself, he can refer them to
stewards for their deliberation. He believes the positioning of the
cars at the time of contact prompted their decision to penalise Hamilton.
“I think from what the stewards saw and having looked at it,
obviously Alex had some momentum around the outside,” he said. “And
the fact of the contact point, from what I’ve understood from their
explanation, from Lewis’s front-left to Alex’s rear-right, was why
they did not deem that a racing incident.
“They felt that Alex effectively was on the edge of the track, give
or take, and had completed the overtaking manoeuvre. So for them,
there wasn’t anything more to add, it was a quite simple driving
infringement for causing a collision.”

tightened his line to allow Albon the space he had earned.

very similar situation recently against Leclerc which was let go and then led to Leclerc (and
others) doing exactly this ever since.
I like Albon but think that he was too impatient and put his car onto a part of the track that had
too high a risk:reward ratio. If he'd held his cool and picked his fights better he could have won
the race.
(It's argued that his car failed anyway but maybe it wouldn't have in a different 'time line'. The
coming-together may have exacerbated any problems in the car.)
My years of watching F1 have also bought me to the conclusion that (especially recently) the
stewards may have an unconscious bias that leads to them penalising 'compliant' drivers/teams more
often than they do 'reactive' drivers/teams. After all it's not good for the image of the sport to
have frequent team protests and driver tantrums being televised world-wide.

his faster warming soft tires were at their very best and Hamilton's
hard tires would be as cold as they would ever be.
Hamilton opened the door and Albon did PRECISELY what he was supposed to
do: occupy the track as close to Hamilton as he could without making
contact. Albon's line was clearly taking him to the track edge, so it
wasn't even that he was crowding Hamilton off the track.
Hamilton, OTOH, had Albon ahead of him—just ahead, but ahead
nonetheless, and thus in clear view. He is not entitled at that point to
drive any way he likes. In specific, he's not allowed to run his car
into another car.
Anything else, and you're just playing bumper cars out there and there
is literally no legal way for a driver behind to pass other than
outrunning someone down the straight.
If there is no penalty for failing to keep clear of a driver who got
where he got legally, then you are putting an end to any passing in any
corner.

you look at his positioning and the circumstances he was asking rather
a lot of Hamilton to avoid him. Even if he had given Lewis another
foot of track, and he had plenty, it might have ended differently. He
had plenty of grip to put the car where he wanted
Putting yourself on the outside is never risk free. Crowding a driver
with much less grip multiplies that risk significantly. Doing so on a
restart when the level of grip is unpredictable...
It is exactly the kind of racing I want to see but I don't want to see
drivers rolling over.

inexperience by attempting a pass that was always going to be risky and, in
doing so, lost all.
My view is that it was a racing incident and I think that Hamilton was
unlucky to be penalized. But then he had a rather unlucky weekend
altogether what with the mysterious “new footage” of an incident that was
reminiscent of Rosberg at Monaco in 2014 (or am I being unfair to Bottas?)
and a safety car that let Valtteri off the hook.

Just good to have the racing back.
I seem to be at odds with others in my view of Hamilton's penalty being a
little over-harsh - it felt to me more like Albon drove into him, rather
than the other way around, but Hamilton seemed to take the penalty with a
reasonable degree of grace (externally, for the press anyway) and he knows
there's plenty of time to claw back the points.
I'm intrigued to see how the next race shakes out - might it be a "two by

commentary, so
on that basis I enjoyed it.
Just good to have the racing back.
I seem to be at odds with others in my view of Hamilton's penalty being a
little over-harsh - it felt to me more like Albon drove into him, rather
than the other way around, but Hamilton seemed to take the penalty with a
reasonable degree of grace (externally, for the press anyway) and he knows
there's plenty of time to claw back the points.
I'm intrigued to see how the next race shakes out - might it be a "two by
two" race as each team has learned so much from this run out?

Hamilton got through turn-in without trouble and what caused the contact
was that he didn't go easier on the accelerator from the apex onward.
Albon had him, and Hamilton has a well-known penchant for squeezing his
rivals and not leaving them room to race.

much after turn in has begun.
But you certainly don't brake past the apex, and what you DO do is
accelerate. The more you accelerate, the more the car will run wide.
All Hamilton had to do to avoid Albon was use a little less throttle pedal.

You don't think Albon had plenty of room. He had another cars width of
usable track.
I am not interested in arguing the penalty but some of the
justification people are claiming is dodgy.

Albon drove into him, rather than the other way around, but
Hamilton seemed to take the penalty with a reasonable
degree of grace (externally, for the press anyway) and he
knows there's plenty of time to claw back the points.
I'm intrigued to see how the next race shakes out - might
it be a "two by two" race as each team has learned so much
from this run out?

You might also take a look at a similar move being made by Lando on
Perez behind and compare how much room was being given.
I think Albon will look back and realise he took far too high a risk by
cutting so close and the collision was almost inevitable.

That is the exact moment of impact.
Tell me how much space there is between Albon's car and the kerbing.
This guy nails it:
"Hamilton is doing the line that he would have done without Albon. This
is the ideal line for Hamilton, but Hamilton should keep in mind that
there is a car outside.
So at this point, knowing he has less grip than Albon, he should have
lifted in order to get rid of the understeer, let the car close the
corner and leave space to Albon."
And you get that the stewards agree that Hamilton was in the wrong, yes?

It reminded you of races of the 60's, 70's and early 80's, when car
reliablity wasn't yet down to a science (or even more aptly, a
technology). Half the field dropped out with reliability issues, and the
whole race got randomized.
Regarding fun vs. dull? Dull during the early parts, fun in the last few
