    Vettel actually smiled a bit today. Well done on this day. Nothing has been easy for Vettel.

    Yes i said he is a goat, one of the greatest. But not "the" goat, it's too difficult to decide who is goat with different eras

    Vettel isn't a trouble maker, he's a decent guy and a 4 times world champion.

    As long as he's under contract he deserves all the support. Unfortunately Ferrari team management doesn't deliver, they seem absent. As Montezemolo pointed out, Ferrari treats F1 as a sidejob.

    Out of politeness I guess we have to admit a job well done by Merc. Destroyed the field.

    Vettel teaching the team about tyre strategy was hilarious to witness, and at the same time massively embarrassing.

    Max is something special. I suppose that has been known for years, but to lap your team mate and finish so close to the race winner is an extraordinary performance.

    Grosjean is clearly the drift king! What a save. About the best thing he’s ever done in F1.

    Apart being a Finnish he didn't look like so happy after the race.
    I repeat it again and again , Mercedes and Hamilton should have been more brave and replace Bottas years ago with Max for the sake of the sport.
    Dear ktu excellence isn't always boring and a duel between hammy and Max in a dominant Mercedes would have been an entertaining show for ALL the fans.

    The main suspects are Elkann and Camilleri.

    The melt-down with Nico and LH was not tolerable, hence Bottas. He brings results and harmony. A smart strategy for Mercedes.

    As I said - Typical Barcelona. This is no surprise. We live for the start at this race. Certainly the action lacks each year overall

    The harmony is broken overall. We do not know the scene and interaction in private. The relationship is altered due to his release. Ferrari treat F1 as management allows. LdM was not perfect. Its funny to hear him speak about what is wrong. I blame Sergio for most of the direction the team has taken. The leadership now is only reactive. They appear to lack a greater strategy, only hoping the new rules are the solution. We can hope the strategy for a future success is in motion which we can see or hear about soon.

    Respectfully disagree.
    Results are not everything and they have a huge advantage since seven years.
    Bahrain 2014 will last in memories.

    Results measure F1. They take the advantage, measure and apply resources to keep competitive. The other teams are lacking. Mercedes are not the fault.

    Wait, how did Max lap his team mate? I thought the car does 90% and the driver doesn't matter these days

    Simple. Early Albon stop on useless Hard Compound tire.

    Because Max is the best right now by a significant margin.

    The way I see it.

    Max
    Lewis
    Charles

    But when will you understand that a manager's job is to bring together 2 drivers who will cooperate and work in harmony for the benefit of the team,

    A team's manager's job is not about bravery, nor to entertain the public, but to bring results !!!

    Team mates that fight all year long split points and wins, and risk missing on 2 championships.

    I know my english is far from perfect but you have some difficulties to understand what I am saying.
    Mercedes is the best team of all time.
    They dominated since SEVEN years like any other team before.
    Even Toto looks bored today.
    Why don't put some uncertainty between two top dogs for the sport but also for the Brand too.
    The marketing benefit would be huge I am sure.
    The military approach was necessary for the first WDC WCC but now ?
