2020 Formula 1 70th Anniversary Grand Prix - Silverstone, August 7-9

Mega performance from Hulk, I'd choose him over Perez and Stroll so someone needs to sign him in the paddock, why did he even lose his spot in the first place?

Still think the Soft tyre was fastest at the end but Mercedes probably didn't expect the 5 degree drop in temperature.

OOOF!! hmm.. something is going on with that Ferrari.

Yup. No f*cks given in that car

I believe that is the exact reason. Right or wrong, telling a 4X WDC to "F"-off may have consequences. Overt or subconsciously, Vet seems to be showing Bino one of his fingers (not a thumb).

I just cant believe this. At this point, Hulkenberg looks more attractive to sign than him which cant be good.

Vettel surely can't doing himself any favours by under-performing and even worse sabotaging! the team. That's worse than Alonso territory by far. Anyway, they say that Germany is a key Market for Aston Martin, and that they could use the marking push of having a 4xWDC. I think in theory it makes sense... but in reality nobody outside of Formula 1 really knows who Vettel is. Even some Germans don't know him.

RP20 1 year old tech still able to beat what Ferrari, Redbull can produce in 2020. This just shows since 2014 Redbull and Ferrari have been a year behind Merc.
Feel a bit sorry for Stroll. Hulk is just a visitor to his team and got smashed convincingly.

Can also be other way around if you start making assumptions... Ferrari can be sabotaging Vettel also.
Since he will be leaving, they for sure will not give him a lot of information anymore. Ferrari doesn’t care so much about the WCC.
Also, all input Vettel now gives will be ignored as they will build the car to the liking of Leclerc

Vettel needs to be careful he might lose his potential job to Hulk!

I could understand that they sack Perez for Vettel for marketing and image reasons for example but sack him for Hulk?

[foxmulder_ms]

I am a Lewsi fan and want him to break all the records out there *but* for tomorrow., I want a Bottas-Lewis crash to see Hulk win

[siskue2005]

Imagine if one of the Merc drivers catches the virus.... Hulk-o would get a turn in the W11! First win? lol

Anyway good qualifying. It is so crazy that people say Bottas is slow. I have always seen his as a threat for qualifying, for the race though, I will be surprised if he can stay in front of Lewis, especially on these softer tyres.

Bottas is pretty much up there with Lewis in qualifying, the thing he lacks is consistency in qualifying pace and especially race pace. Rosberg was pretty similar, but Rosberg had much more race pace than Bottas and bit more consistency in pace.

I really hope/think Vettel is giving Ferrari what they deserve. I want to see Vettel+Hulk lineup for RP next year!

A good driver can take that racing point to it's rightful positions, like Hulk showed today. May be a Max, Russell or Leclerc can extract another couple of tenths from that car.

?? Ham is beating Bottas by 2 to 1 ratio in qualifying results.

Yeah, who said he isnt? read my post carefully
He is up there in qualyfing pace wise

[El Scorchio]

Good for Bottas. Deserved that after his cruel luck last weekend.

I think Vettel is now feeling what being second driver at a team is for the first time in his career. The other guy gets all the best stuff.
