    The glaring over-rating of Seb on display. Impatient and almost lacking in strategic thinking it seems. His titles after this year are meaningless.

    A very disappointing outing for the red cars. If you watched, there's no need for embellishment.

    See you in Austin.

    Hamilton is brilliant! F1 hasn't seen a driver's mind le this since Senna.
    Your statement must goes to show how brilliant Hamilton is as a driver. Vettel will log in hundreds of hours in the sim before Austin while Hamilton will travel the world, go to parties, promote his brands, and still drive circles around Vettel come Austin... No other driver in the history of F1 has had anywhere near this bandwidth.
    Hamilton would still dust off Alonslow. Since they were team mates Hamilton had grown as a driver while Alonslow has utterly regressed! Put them on the same team again and Hamilton would make him look like Bottas! Same goes for Vettel...

    Great drive by Max being involved in TWO accidents???? And why Lewis drive in the fastest car, from pole, with the fastest strategy (tires acording to Pirelli) being backed by his team mate is "great" remains a mystery as well...If one drove "great" it was Ricciardo making his way to the front without any mistakes

    Yes. Max “Ver-stoppen only when I hit someone” squeezing Vettel after Vettel was already commited to the move. Max should have been punished. Also Vettel should have known from 2017 not to get too close to him. Vettel keeps trusting Max in these tight situations to his own injury. Vettel keeps driving as if he has the F1 favorite status as he used to long ago. Clearly he now has no special place in F1 as drivers can damage his race and it’s ok. That being said Vettel has damaged Vettel’s own race as much or more this season than any other driver.

    Ok and thanks for ramming Hamilton down our throats at every opportunity - you've made your point again and again so why not now relax and go outside to play if it's not too dark yet.

    Best,

    Can you imagine Hamilton facing a truly ruthless opponent in an equal machine? Like say Schumi? I think he'd wilt faster than an orchid in the desert.

    This practice would result in carnage and a red flag IMHO.
    I am for going back to stop and go penalties though. A five or ten second penalty is immediately erased by a yellow flag.

    Hamilton has been there, done that with Alonso. Has Schumacher ever had to team with another F1 champion in a equal machine?

    I said nothing about them being on the same team, and Alonso < Schumacher.

    Though not a Champion, Rubens Barrichello, and the Michael had some interesting track adventures and debated lead changes.

    Has Schumacher ever lost a championship to a team mate in a equal machine? Was Schumacher (in his real career, not the afterbirth of it) outscored by a team mate over a three years period?

    Nope. His contract probably didn't permit it.

    If they don't have to be team mates Mika Häkkinen did pretty well.

    Hahaha, seriously? You think Schumacher needed a contract to make sure he is ahead of Irvine, Barichello and Massa??? You must be kiding...

    It was the fastest race I ever watched. After the safety car, I forwarded the entire race.

    I do have a memory of some butthurt lead changes just like what Hamilton and Bottas made last race.

    So? As I doubt that this makes Bottas faster than Hamilton I also doubt that this makes Barichello as fast as Schumacher...And how many times did Barichello actually pull over for Schumacher? People over here behave like it was every second weekend....
    Both Bottas and Barichello might be faster on a good day than Hamilton and Schumacher but certainly not over a three years period....
