2021 Portuguese Grand Prix - Portimão, Apr 30 - May 02

And there it is. I bet Croft is amazed that a guy on 54 lap old Mediums couldn’t hold up a guy on on far, far fresher Hard tyres.

I sometimes think the bloke has had his brain removed.

Go on BOT !!! Let’s make it a race.

Almost within DRS now.

[El Scorchio]

Well it was clearly Red Bull’s plan to see if he could hold him up at all.

[LM10]

What a boring race.

[El Scorchio]

Bottas is in trouble here.

[El Scorchio]

Tsunoda under instruction to save Verstappen

Funny that they are showing it now, MSC has been all race on Latifi´s tail with no success in overtaking him. That´s what you get when you are powered by Ferrari.

But the kid has a great character. He get´s out of the way very quickly to not hold any car lapping him. Other drivers don´t do that and are selfish by only thinking about remaining as close as possible to the car they are fighting position with

It’s good to see. He’s doing himself no harm at all with regard to progressing in the sport.

Mick seems like he has a good, mature head on his shoulders. He just needs to keep doing what he is doing.

[Artur Craft]

Mick´s finally through, nice race from him, 1 minute ahead of MAZ

[101FlyingDutchman]

Yeah I like Mick. Seems very level headed and intelligent

[JPower]

Ferrari putting Sainz on the mediums was a huge mistake.

I can only imagine the fuss that would be made if Seb in the Ferrari of 2017/18 was making the same number of mistakes as Max is currently.

He’s made a mistake in every race - the overtake in Bahrain (ok, somewhat understandable), in qualifying in both of the last two races and now the all important mistake that dropped him out of DRS range on Bottas (and gave Hamilton the run under DRS). I understand why - he’s fighting a fundamentally faster car in the Mercedes (despite what they keep insisting to make themselves look good) - but so was Seb in the Ferrari, often with no support from Kimi. It’s not easy and mistakes happen but this idea that, if given a sniff, Max is infallible, is proving to be bs.

[Restomaniac]

Verstappen looked miles outside there!

[Hoffman900]

How does Max’s fast lap count if he was all 4 wheels over the curbing?
