Why was Max DOTD? Started 2nd, finished 2nd. Leclerc started 11th, finished 6th in a car that didn’t belong that far up the grid. DOTD is a popularity contest....
The difference between Hamilton and Ricciardo is that the Brit followed his race engineer's instructions and got penalised for it. Ricciardo made hos own mistake.
What is Karthikeyan going on about? Bottas got a win due to penalty. How does that translate into “momentum” and “being back in the WDC race”? Momentum would be winning three races in a row and closing the gap from 45 points to 15. good win for Valtierri, especially given the media pressure he was under, but Narain is stretching things a bit
You should listen to other drivers' radio too; they all ***** and moan. Try listening to Verstappen, Raikkonen, and others.
Remarkable race by our guys, given the circumstances; even Vettel did his part holding Ocon and we were quite lucky that Leclerc didn´t get a penalty for pushing Stroll. We´ve outscored Alpha Tauri, right now that´s the only rival we can fight with.
It's a worthless competition. I wondered the same...just shows that Bottas has a small fanbase, he had a good start, cruised, wins race...so did at least 1 better than Max. F1 missed a trick there. Monotise the voting, just like xfactor/america's got talent. They'll make some money back
Hmm. Lewis messes up qualy. Lewis manages to get 2 consecutive penalties. The goal was to get out ahead of ricciardo and someone else. They did just that. If he wanted to go longer on his tyres he should've stayed out longer.
Oops, thanks. Kind of obvious he’s trying to create a drama that doesn’t exist. I prefer we hear commentary on the race we saw than someone trying to convince me of something he wants to see.
I think Charles regularly outperforms his car. Getting into p6 and holding it was a very good result. The poor performance of the Ferrari is shadowing very good driving by Leclerc
No, he followed the radio instructions of his race engineer, even asking him if it was the right thing to do. Lewis has been let down by his team this GP, and it even started during qualifs. Even with 10 secondes penalty, Hamilton made a fantastic come back to finish on the podium and consolidate his lead in the championship. But that performance went over you head; you didn't even mention it.
I just knew you went to say that. Had a small bet. Hell, even the timing when you would say it is absolutely on point! It's like playing word bingo...Me and Peter will enjoy some beers on that one! And no, Lewis is the one that made the mistakes that led to all this.
