How racey will Max be against Charles? The first lap or two after the SC could be a bit spicy!

Harder tyres, probably not so.

It was not a good idea to put Leclerc on Softs. It’s the faster tyre, but now Mercedes wingman is in between and towards the end of the race Mediums would have probably been better.

LeClerc is finding the problems they found in F2&3. The DRS isn’t strong enough.

Hadn't spotted that, thanks.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Still scratching my head why the need for a second pitstop for Ferrari LeClerc, its unbelieveable

Ferrari truly effed themselves in that one, first playing games at the start, then Vettel causing a VSC(Ferrari should've insisted that he brings the car back), last stopping Leclerc i think they'd have a better shot on mediums.

Ferrari should have known that they lose too much time in the last two corners.

TBH just watching F2&3 would have shown them how poor DRS is here!

They planned to be ahead at all times it seems.

Well that buries the idea of anyone else other than Mercedes & Hamilton for WCC & WDC.

Hamilton leads Mercedes 1-2 in Sochi

Hamilton leads Mercedes 1-2 in Sochi

Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas made it a perfect race for Mercedes as they finished 1-2 at the Russian Grand Prix. Charles Leclerc finished third after losing out with unlucky safety car timing.

Didn't see that coming. I thought it was a Red 1-2 and the only interest would be which Red would be which.

Great drive by Hamilton to stay with the Ferraris at the start when they looked to be too fast and then drive hard away from the front after the SC. Ultimately a lucky win but you have to be there to benefit from the luck. Great drive by Sainz, racy at the start and then drove really well. Albon did well to get back to 6th from his lowly starting position, helped no doubt by the SC but he still needed to overtake people on track.

Unlucky for Vettel although no doubt Leclerc will see it as karma for last week.

MAN WITH BIGGEST HEART BREAK TODAY, IS "PAUL DI RESTA". That guy was so angry when VSC happened. :lol:

To then go and put up a smiling face for the interviews, is oh my god. I love that.
