FORMULA 1 VTB RUSSIAN GRAND PRIX 2019: QUALIFYING *** SPOILERS ***

Seb's going to melt down...

He was the Superstar at Red Bull until DR arrived...
He was the Superstar at Ferrari until Leclerc arrived...

Sebs going to retire either by the end of 2020 if not sooner.

 

Seb was at his best when he had a front-running car that could get him into clean air and run away from the field. That’s no longer his reality. Driving for a lesser team would kill what little he has left.

 

Amazing the turn around for Ferrari after that front wing update. I hope leclerc can translate this into another win

 

He should retire now while he can still do so with a shred of dignity intact.

 

Going to melt down? I'd argue that his meltdown began when he played bumper cars with Hamilton as some sort of ill-considered "revenge" for a racing incident.

 

No lockout.

 

Dignity? Are we talking about the same driver? Seb's dignity has been gone for a long time with all the stunts he has pulled over the years.

A dignified "retirement" would be to take a seat in a lesser team doing his best to help them.

Quitting because you don't have it easy and your teammate is better than you is as undignified as it can be.

 

Hopefully Vettel makes a run at Hamilton after the start, does a standard-for-him spin and takes Hamilton out. To the benefit of the championship of course.

 

What’s with Merc’s medium tyres? Are they keen again on Bottas holding everybody else up after they pit?

 

He's definitely running hot, but he has not gone full Chernobyl just yet.

 

Yup.

 

Not a hypothesis my friend..... it is a fact, so we have to enjoy it while we can.

 

I believe Not accusing, but just stating the obvious. Save this reply, since you will see that come the first race of 2020 MB will be back to kicking everybody's butt I do hope I'm wrong.

 

If that's the case, why not dial back SF also and let RBR/VER/Honda win for all their fans. Ferrari just finally got their car right, Leclerc is coming good and Merc just probably stopped development for '19.

Also, so much for dialing back Merc, Vettel is still behind.

 

Give it 10 years. Liberty will make sure most of the tracks are street races.

Apparently there's no end to this silly thinking.

 

It ends with Stroll Sr buying F1 and Lancelot being 8x WDC... the GREATEST of all GOAT's.

 

Hahaha, **** off you dozey ****, hope seb pushes you into second and you have to go on the radio and cry to your mummy to make bottles slow down

 

Bad acting by Toto.... faking disappointment...

 

Like FIA/MB has been trying to do with LH44

 

This is more likely.

The Ferrari was not that bad, they could had won 2 or 3 races without drivers errors and reliability problems before summer. And now the Mercedes is not that good. When was the last time they brought big aero updates? Germany? Their last engine upgrade had reliability problems also.But they don't bother, they have a comfortable margin to play with. For Ferrari it was more important to keep working in this car as I suppose they still needed to decide what path they should follow for next years' car.

 

I hope Vettel eliminates him from the race so there'll still be a mathematical hope left for the championship!
