2020 Russian Grand Prix - Sochi Autodrom, September 25 - 27

[El Scorchio]

I was actual joking.

They wont out a SC this race, even if we have similar incident to Monza
They were careful to put the VSC after the leaders past the pit entry

I was pointing out the idiocy of any kind of safety car for polystyrene boards off the racing line.

Wouldn’t put it past ‘the ringmaster’ to do it if #44 was out in the lead.

Or even a red flag

At this time... I'm wondering either how strong Leclerc is performing in the SF1000... OR how much Vettel is struggling in general this season. Sure, I understand he is leaving and what not... but surely that isn't the full story of a 4-time world champion? In saying that... I guess you could also compare that to Max and Alex at Red Bull.

I'd say it is between Perez OR Leclerc for driver of the day, considering car/driver performance.

Driver of the day is just fan votes, it is a scam really.

Ferrari hung him out to dry on strategy.

At least all this gives him an opportunity to see how privileged he was earlier in his career when Red Bull were doing the same to Webber and Ferrari to Raikkonen for his benefit.

What’s is David Croft on about. Can Bottas continue this form?

Yes indeed......If Hamilton scrapes through in Q2 due to Vettel crashing out thus making him qualify on Softs and if his team once again tell him it’s fine to do practice starts when it isn’t. The mans a f****g idiot.

[Mattyw]

Bottas giving it to ‘his critics’ odd thing to say when you win by default instead of doing it on track

[Schuttelberg]

Bottas team radio post race summarises his personality and ability!

Not really denying that as such... just meant in general, Perez drove a solid clean race and Charles basically 'Alonsoing' the SF1000 into the points.

I was actually expecting Daniel to be bagging 4th, but still a good race for Renault overall.

[Racer X]

Bottas with a classy comment to all the hatter's. I honestly haven't even noticed him even tho he's fighting for second in the Championship. I've paid more attention to Max and Hamilton....

I just kinda see him as a lucky 2nd place.
He got a lucky win today too. So cocky for a guy who got a lucky win haha...

[El Scorchio]

Verstappen driver of the day after doing precisely nothing during the race?

[Shrieker]

Hamilton has himself to blame. He didn't have to be 'smart' and try a practise start in a different place; especially at a time when they're looking for every little thing to penalize him. Also, his unnecessary mistake at the final corner in Q2 , which ultimately forced him into softs, compromising his race.

Race decided by some practice starts and some curbs

Well it was a discretional penalty so race decided by the stewards.

Coincidentally the nationality of the head steward today is??....
