It was a thrilling race actually! A very solid 8/10 and very good on-track action. :)

Max may get a fine for wearing the non-approved flag on the podium, best be careful about that.
What did I miss? Bar perez working through the pack and Alo at the end?

Bit of a bore that one - no drama for a change.

That recovery by Perez shows how quick that rb car really is !
Just imagine how much bigger the championship points gap would be without all the bull crap drama. But it was not a bore at all! The home hero won!

Are Merc braindead ? Hamilton was 3.6 seconds faster than Max on that last lap. They could've easily put him on used softs or meds when the gap was 1.5 seconds, with 16-17 laps to go. What a throw.
Was half expecting them to do this, kinda strange they didn't as they really didn't have anything to lose. Probably because they didn't have any new softs and it seemed that tyre dropped off quite fast in first stint.
I mean.. Cons; obviously their computer told them the tires would be dead by the time they caught up to Max. And there was a lot of traffic that had to be re lapped...

But even then, the pro of never being able to catch up to Max let alone pass him without a third stop, far outweighed staying on those second set of used meds.
Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.

Not sure what to say. But only a three point lead in the championship.

The friendship between Max and Lewis seem to be rekindled.

I hope his fans follow his stead.

Perez is voted driver of the day :lol: I can't believe it. Must be Carlos Slim employing a call center in mexico or only few people cast a vote. I know I don't.

VES asking about HAM. "Is he complaining about something, or what?"
That's a fair guess. :)
Max gaslighting not very classy yet expected from him..
Well deserved. Hamilton complaining about something is a meme now🙄

Don't get me wrong it's great the guy wins his home race but that in itself doesn't make it a great race !

Great seeing Nico calling Toto on his …stuff. There’s always some reason to undermine the opponents’ success or explain away their failure - Nico rightly called him on it.

Until next time when Lewis gets frustrated and throws one of his signature moves. :lol:

Ps: the way how Bottas is treated by his team... it's disgusting.
Then you have no idea how F1 works. No idea at all. I guess thats why you have a -8 next to your name.
Man, shut up.
So you think Mercedes treated Bottas in a disgusting way ? Please explain why if so

I know how it works, but Bottas case is a waaay ahead of the limit of awful cases for a long time.
Ps: Do you really think that I care about this "-8"? :D Dont be childish.

Yep as a Dutch person that wasn’t what I wanted to hear at all. Shame

IMO Davina Michelle ruins the anthem with her overly 'expressive' style of singing and frequent use of ad libs.

1. Told to deliberately not go for fastest lap in Zandvoort despite pitting for fresh tyres.
2. Told to deliberately slow down in Singapore so Hamilton would emerge from the pits ahead of him, despite Bottas having the undercut.
3. Told to deliberately move over to let Hamilton win the Russian Grand Prix.

I'm sure there are more I cannot remember. :shock:
