    Without the Halo, Leclerc's head would've gone somewhere into the stands! :eek::eek::eek::p

    I will be delighted if they do but I can't help thinking that they've had the car to win several races this year that they've contrived not to.

    When I raced motocross we used the term "Trick" to describe a competitors bike in the way it was setup or some of the hardware being used. It was a compliment from your competition to say that your bike is "Trick".

    HamBones use of the word "Trick" is nothing more than saying "Ferrari is cheating but are using deception so the FIA does not catch it." Perhaps it is time for Mercedes and HamBone to man up and just admit that Ferrari has done there homework, and has shifted the balance of power into there court.

    Great win for Ferrari today. I feel bad for kimi. If only they had him out longer at qualifying yesterday. He would have qualified better position and he wouldn’t get cought in that mess today.

    Conversely, I think it'll buy him more leeway into a 2019 contract.

    Fantastic. Find yourself a bar to watch in or something, ask the hotel which place they recommend. Imagine few things better than watching Ferrari win at Monza and you're in italy in a bar surrounded by Italians (if you're not at the track that is). Enjoy and keep us updated if you've found a bar!

    Seems like a nice Sunday afternoon to sit back and enjoy a well earned victory. When you win straight up like this, how can you be filled with anything but happiness? There really isn't any need to piss on other people.

    I think there's quite a few drivers out there who would not have had the maturity or sense to back out of the four into one at Les Combes on lap one so bravo Ocon

    I am so sick of the camera zooming in on Toto Frodo to see what his latest stupid facial expression is.

    Hahahaha, it’s late, but I just had a chuckle to myself remembering the blubbering wuss elton bleating about how ferrari have some tricks! Hehehehehe what a tool. Sooner he realises that merc is losing its dominance and won’t be head and shoulders over the rest he’ll retire, he isn’t capable of winning unless he has the best car by far. Awwwww, poor little ballerina

    Ferrari has had the better car for awhile now. Toto’s not sandbagging.

    I disagree. The air intake behind the drivers head gives enough protection (less a foreign object such as a lose tyre) in any collision and/or rollover. Yes Jules Bianchi's death was sad for the sport. However, he was speeding under yellow in the rain. So now every accident brings out the safety car?

    I miss the days when sex was safe and racing was dangerous...

    While I’m happy to see Seb take the win in authoritative fashion, I’m still very concerned that Ferrari simply cannot get their collective **** together. Saturday’s qually baffoonery with Kimi was embarrassing.... shameful even... and look what it cost them. Kimi should’ve never been stuck with the mid pack riff-raff. His team put him there because they can’t figure out a rain strategy for two cars at the same time despite knowing ...as did everyone else... that the rain was gonna hit at Q3. Absolute stupidity.

    Beyond that, I think Stroll solidified himself as the biggest tool on the grid and probably has even less respect from the grid than before.

    Token penalty for Bottas. FIAs way of trying to give the impression they’re punishing Mercedes equally by issuing penalties that essentially mean nothing. Is anyone fooled? How about amused?

    Hamilton’s comment about trickery is just the latest out of his mouth that’s starting to push me to the anti Lewis camp. It’s getting a bit much. 4 years of dominance, some very very questionable tactics and underhanded deeds along the way and Lewis and Merc cannot stop the insinuations at the first sight of real competition. It’s sad. Pathetic really. Lewis standing next to Sebs car like... the body language... followed by those comments... were all a very deliberate tact.

    It even sure what to make of Hulks screwup. I’m just glad everyone was okay. I guess I do have some respect for the fact he owned up to it and didn’t blame the car then have the team back the lie... unlike some other situations in recent memory.
