Unfortunately, Russell isn't five seconds clear of tenth. It really isn't over until the fat lady sings.

Russell DSQ? He had one of Bottas's tires. Is that an automatic disqualification?
Apparently not if they rectify it straight away? That’s what they seemed to say in the race. Don’t know if that’s true.

I suspected as much. Sky showed the Pirelli rep talking to a member of Merc staff after the last stop.

It always annoys me how soft the interview team are.

Why did they not ask Racing Point questions like why is Perez and not Lance leaving.
because everyone knows why! and they all kinda have to see everyone every race weekend and they didn't want to embrace someone :wink:

It's amazing how easy the world goes on Charles. If Lewis, Max and Seb had done what he did, the internet would have gone in a full blown meltdown.
"Sebastian there's very, you're a member of a very select few.. Stewart, Lauda, Piquet, Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Fangio.. VETTEL!"

Bottas was outclassed by George today.

I've been a staunch Bottas supporter, but I'm a believer in accountability, and I've got to put my hand up and acknowledge what I saw today.

If I were Toto, I'd be finding out a way to buy out Bottas' 2021 contract.

It doesn't matter if George isn't on Hamilton's qualifying pace next year if he can race like he did today. Full stop.

Pretty sure I saw Perez's agent or something poking Stroll Sr. in the chest probably saying something along the lines of when you have no wins next season with the hasbeen and your son think about who you let go.

At least I hope that's what he was saying.

Yeah, Bottas was never up to the level as Rosberg, maybe Bottas 8.1 will change that next year :lol:

Not a lot of point if Williams won’t release Russell. 2022 will be the time.

I don’t think they have need either. They’ll probably still do the double.

Atleast Stoll jr is no slouch himself (cant tell the same about Albon!), after all he has 2 podiums, 1 pole and almost a win in Turkey!
