Nico Hülkenberg has scored more points in the last 2 races than Sergio Perez in the last 6. If I was Perez I'd actually die of embarrassement.

What a race, and what a comprehensive display of brilliant driving by Lewis. Awesome emotions with his team, fans and parents. The mood in the cool down room was very interesting. Max watching the race replay and ignoring Lewis while Lando lamented his soft tires "degging 10 laps earlier" than Lewis'. Lewis said "you had mediums didn't you?" Which Lando didn't answer. When the replay screen went blank Max had to turn his attention to Lewis and Lando, but still couldn't bring himself to congratulate and share in his joy after Lewis said "two and half years... long time". Max is a strange cat.
I guess that McLaren purposely sabotaged Norris and piatri so that the has been win too? Makes perfect sense
As I said, Hamilton drove flawlessly, but even the most starstruck Hammyfan would have to believe that, like it or not, Boy George had the measure of him today. Has there been an explanation of the problem with the car?
McLaren have literally slipped behind the factory Mercedes right with us, and they've fumbled about 4 wins now. They'll hit a rough patch just like Mercedes and Ferrari have - give it time.
Ego? Hamilton has said that he's always wanted to drive for Ferrari. It's more of fulfilling a dream.
Did you watch the race? HAM followed RUS at a respectable distance and when the conditions got tricky, he overtook. So he got the first stop and RUS had to Q ... and then was behind from then until the retirement. 5 drivers could have won ... but only 1 did.
Yes, I watched the race. Do we know that George wasn’t already having a mechanical problems when he was passed?
One of the drivers failed to perform today, terribly, for the second week in a row. What should've been 3rd and 4th in Austria and 5th and 6th today, was just 3rd and 5th by one driver. The other failed to even score one point. Leclerc should've gotten 20 points over these past 2 weeks, where the car was fast enough for those results. That might end up coming back to haunt the team in the WCC this year, and I wonder how the guys at the factory will feel about THAT. Frankly, they'd ever right to be pissed.
lol really? yes or no that's funny of course he did, he's just continuing to let Lewis live in his head rent free
It was definitely a mechanical problem that allowed Lewis to pass George. George wasn't able to find as much mechanical grip on the wet track as Lewis was.
How do we know the apparent “water issue” (the water in the car, not the water on the track) wasn’t affecting the car’s performance at that point?
