    Yes. Vettel is very bright. So is Rosberg to be fair. Ferrari are in all sorts of team pain. Chief gone. Race strategists losing their minds. What next?! Sad to see.

    Congrats Lewis - utterly dominant victory. The race start moon walk role has clearly been passed to Nico.

    Redbull have a tremendous car. If they can find a bit more power, they could make the second half of the season interesting.

    wow. I that was really an afternoon wasted. Well done to Hami for securing another victory.

    Clown penalty for Rosberg. Utterly ridiculous. I am about to quit watching this nonsense. This is really frustrating. Hami pushes him off for years now and no action taken ever.

    Wow. Spa might lure me back ;)

    I can only surmise it comes down to execution. If you squeeze somebody on the exit, it's hard racing. Squeeze them on the entry, it's a penalty. Make the car wide on exit versus super-late turn in.

    Rosberg stood 3 seconds to long for his penalty because the stop watch did not work...what a joke

    Not feeling that...yuck!

    Dan/Max will become as contentious as Lewis/Nico. Two alpha dog mentalities. You could see how much it meant to Dan to finish ahead of the teenager. Lost his mind and drank champagne from his shoe.

    Will be interesting how their relationship develops when they start fighting for wins (hopefully next year).

    I do hope they'll enjoy a better relationship than the merc ****s.

    Have to say, and it pains me...but a LOT of Dutch fans are starting to piss me off royally and make me feel embarrassed to be a Verstappen fan. They are as bad as the Hamilton fanboys. All crying foul at Rosberg/Kimi etc last few weeks. As long as it gains an advantage...:mad:

    Love Max and his driving, but he's not the untouchable God that has to get away with everything. Ricciardo remains a breath of fresh air in F1. Proper bloke and of all people in F1, he's the one I'd have pints with I reckon!

    ?? You watched a different race?
    They fly down towards the turn. Under braking little Max makes a move to the inside (as far as I know making moves under braking is frowned upon), forcing nico to lift brakes and make a correction to take the turn much narrower than expected. Of course he will run out of road?

    Where he squeezed someone on the entry must have been another race. Max was the creator of this occurance and he ran out of track because he took track from Rosberg in a questionable move himself.

    We love Max here in Oz Bas but his blocking of Kimi was a bit over the top, Kimi's double bluff nearly ended in disaster but I'm sure Max will be a lot better in a few more races in earning respect from the established drivers.

    I hope Max and Dan remain good friends but a battle for the WDC if their next year's car is good may test that resolve :)

    Exactly.

    Either way, I hope they'll fight for the title next year. Whoever wins I'll be a damn happy boy and many pints will be consumed.

    I may even like the Ricciardo win purely to piss of some of the one eyed max idiots who only started watching when he started winning :D.

    Wooooooot. Big L for Ferrari, but big W for me!

    $2,500 wealthier for my prediction. Thank you soda company, Red Bull doesn't give you wings, it gives you dollar bills! ;)

    Did you watch a different race?

    Max gave Nico more than enough room, of course he made a juke move on him, it's racing! Did you not watch the in car replay? Nico didn't turn the wheel until Max was driven off the track. Clear as ****ing day!

    Max made that block motion, then went wide (leaving room, in effect). Nico drove in a straight line before turning in late, forcing Max off. The in-cockpit footage from car #6 is pretty telling.

    9 years without a WDC, 6 years as an also-ran (I.e. no legitimate chance to win the WDC at season's end).

    No end in sight for the futility...

    Max left the door open and the pass was clean. Banal penalty. They are as crazy as everyone says.

    The max nico move should have probably been a non event... Max leaned into him under braking, the reason Nico wasn't turning is that he was still braking. If he turns earlier he'd end up off or locking. Tires have 100% ability, if you're in a straight line using that 100%, turning and asking the tires for more will just result in longer braking distance...

    Definitely looking forward to the break from Farce (Formula) 1. I really like Riccardo, he is the one of the very few bright spots in F1 along with Max.
