2017 FORMULA 1 VTB RUSSIAN GRAND PRIX: RACE *** SPOILERS ***

THAT was one of the funniest comments from Kimi I've ever heard

He really has to give up drinking

 

And how does he get to stay here while other long term FERRARI posters get banned from F1 ??!!

Of course this guy is toil !!!

Causing grief again

 

ROFL!

Oh boy. This is some serious fanboi stuff right here. I mean, there is simply no way to know that and everything we have seen thus far shows that the fight will be just as close as with Nico last year; maybe closer.

 

Hehehe, toil must be messing himself about bottas showing elton for what he is, a quick driver in a quick car, and not a driving god. As I've said before, give it a few more races and elton will be crying himself to sleep and threatening Mercedes with leaving in the middle of race weekends unless they tell bottles to slow down and let him catch up....... couldn't be funnier if it was on Saturday night live

 

Huge congrats to Bottas. Great well-controlled drive. Seb would have had him in a few more laps or less though. The Fezza is quite a machine. Lewis will bounce back. Everyone has a bad day.

Moving on!

 

Sucks for you all. You should really look into downloading torrents of the races.

I don't mind not watching the races live, even if it means I have to wait a few hours, at least I don't have to deal with commercials, awful commentary, and having to get up at odd hours of the night/morning. If you must watch live, then streams is the way to go.

"Coward"? gtfoh lol!

right?!

And Felipe with the assist!

I think the ONLY driver Hamilton was vastly superior to, was Heikki Kovalainen. Every other teammate has proven to be just as good or better than Hamilton.

Alonso, Button, Rosberg, Bottas.

I'm not necessarily a huge fan of him, but I also do not dislike the guy like so many millennials.

+1

I'll certainly start watching Indy if Nando goes to there officially!

TROLOLOLOL!

I think most top drivers in any series would take a pay cut to be in a winning car.

VERY WELL STATED!

+1

 

Once again, I'm happy there's more than two cars racing this year for the podium, BUT it's still a parade. And a boring one at that. I'm glad I record and skip through.

 

NBC is dreadful. Even Hobbs got a dig in at Machett he said, "Steve, why don't you tell us what's going to happen, you've got all the answers."

 

This has always been the case at Sochi though since it was inaugurated a few years ago.

 

Pirelli can't get the balance right. The ULTRASOFT tires lasted over 40 laps with Hulkenberg and probably could have lasted the entire race if the rules permitted. I recognize Sochi is very low abrasion but still, ULTRAsofts?! Most races will be one stop this year which simply kills any real strategy plays. Other than this glaring error the new formula is great.

 

Yeah, even ultra softs will last a race at Sochi. Nothing in the past has shown otherwise. 🤷🏻*♂️

 

+1 and the others that have complained here. Their coverage was ******** awful today. Whenever anything significant happened, they were on comercial break. And matchet telling everyone the pedal was a mechanic when clearly ric was talking about his brake pedal... geez . They are like the three stooges. Time for them to go. Time for NBC to go. Time for FOM/Liberty to sell me a subscription to the live feed. I'd gladly pay. I've tried the internet feeds and they don't stream reliably for me. I'll be writing to NBC and liberty tomorrow to complain.

 

Her's a novel idea, maybe the announcers don't need British accents (I know Diffey is from Oz). That might even get more Americans to watch. I'd be glad to have Bob Varsha back. Add Dave Despain and keep Hobbs.

 

^^^ Today was my first time watching NBCSN and it was painful to watch! Tons of commercials, poor commentary and did I mention way too many commercials...

Being from Canada and I thought TSN was bad but it's miles ahead of the US coverage! At least when they have a commercial they could picture in picture the race!!

I'd cancel my cable if I had to deal with this and I'm now seeing why the US isn't a huge market for F1. Sad.

 

Valtteri Bottas: Is Russia Grand Prix win start of things to come? - BBC Sport

 

As I said after Australia, this season will go the distance for the WDC. I felt Bottas would be legit from his signing, though I was a little taken aback by his first two races. Hamilton will be in a tough battle all season. Bottas may seem unspectacular, but I felt he wasted consistent and undeterred.

I'm not even certain if there is a favorite, but SV, LH & VB will all have their moments. I think KR will also, just not enough of them to factor into the title chase. Regarding this weekend, LH was off his game from Practice 1 and just never was a factor (regardless of car issues). It's a long season though....all of them will cock it up a weekend or two.

 

So was Palmer or Grosjean at fault for their shunt?

 

wasn't it deemed a 1st lap incident?

 

One could argue Palmer turned in on Grosjean but that Grosjean went alongside in a corner that everyone knows tightens. Racing incident.

All the best,
Andrew.

Do you actually realize that you said both Mercedes had a better start than the Ferrari in front of them but then try to make it sound like it was Vettels fault loosing against Bottas whereas it was Hamiltons achievement to have a better one than Kimi ???
It is pathetic how you try to twist the same thing in two different directions to suit your "point"?

He made a point??? LOL

 

Every person who supports Hamilton must be called toil. Very logical.

Positions 2, 4 ect. start on the dirty side of the grid where there is less traction. By the same token 1,3,5 etc. start on the rubbered side where there is traction. Despite having good traction Vettel made a bad start and it cost him positions. How am I twisting anything? Just telling it how it is

 

F India had a solid race ,i'm really impressed by Ocon,think he will end up ahead of the highly rated Perez.One of the future stars of F1

 

With 10 laps to go Seb was just over 1 sec behind Bottas ,then Sainz held him up ,then he recovered to within DRS of Bottas with just 2 laps to go but Bottas also got DRS from Massa,and drifted past him on the last lap.

Seb was held up a bit passing Massa in T4,he looked to have the pace and would probably have passed him within a few more laps.

On to Barcelona,and Max!
