Ferrari again bringing sandbagging tactics over from testing and practice into Saturday and Sunday. After 10 years of it when we’ll really show our pace some people are gonna be veeery surprised... Smart!

 

i think today's race louis is sandbagging let poor bottas get a win, i mean its boring right winning all the time

 

No loss NOT being sponsored by a crass and classless company as listed above. GO Bottas

 

Man Lewis got his clock cleaned.

Great drives by Max and Magnussen. Wow.

 

Well, this was one of the crappiest races i ever saw...LMAO on the Elton "issue", lololo, Toto is brilliant, he found to excuses and they always work..."we are slower than the Ferraris"...."Elton car had a problem", lololo, and Crapilton fans eat it like cake every single time...Poor Bottas, now Toto must sabotage him for the next races so Elton can put a happy face once more.
AS for Ferrari team orders i think it makes some sense, nothing to gain there, they should have probably called Lec and put some gripy tires for him to gain one more point..but of course he could also put it on the wall!!
Lec was not very impressive, i guess he doesn't like Australia much and the car sucked anyway. I'll give it onother try next race, if it doesn't work i pack my bags and do other thing, not willing to see this farce another year.

 

Disagree. Midfield battle was monster. I love this final point thing now as well. Someone is going to screw up trying to get that point and it will be game changing.

 

Congratulations to Merc and Bottas. Not much else to say.

 

Ferrari can’t even get one car on the podium.

Pitiful...just pitiful.

 

Surely it would have been better and easier to just sabotage Bottas from the start, thereby saving all this hassle and aggro?

 

I did, just saw it now on Sky F1 replay.

 

So telling of the mismanagement that the team will endure for the rest of the season.............

 

It's forced perspective, and he must be using inserts to seem taller in order to intimidate people.

 

McLaren. Is that a new burger? Never heard of it winning

 

I'm still puzzled by the action...what did they have to lose? A pitstop is around 21 seconds...they had 35. Even a really, really bad one, they almost certainly wouldn't have lost that much time to actually lose the position. When already on the backfoot, every point counts. Utterly bizarre.

 

IIRC he's about 6'6'', someone asked on the show a year or 2 ago/

 

Yes. I enjoyed that as well.

I still haven't decided how I like the fastest lap point. It did make things a little more interesting. I have to admire Bottas on Team Radio saying he wanted 26 points, then going out and getting it.

LH is worried about competition within his team now.

 

Yes I agree I'm undecided still....at first I was very much against it but today the top 3 really did go for it, all 3. Loved Bottas going for it and elton whining on the radio that he ''wanted it'' (i.e. tell Bottas not to go for it because I WANT THOSE POINTS!)

 

That's crazy he could fit in the cars he raced in the 90s.

 

Ferrari got overtaken by a Honda. Nuf said.

 

I really enjoyed the race, Bottas was in a different league. Vettel had one of his more pedestrian races, but more due to bad strategy and forcing him to run most of the race on one set of mediums. Leclerc had a poor first stint but showed some fight back - they should have put a fresh set on him and let him go for fast lap. Felt bad for grosjean, he was driving well all weekend and haas screws up another wheel nut...

 

Just watching on highlights here in the UK.

Actually the most impressive thing is Billy Monger. What a really good presenter! That boy has some serious maturity. He will go far whatever he does!!
