Oh BTW almost 5 seconds faster than 2016 in far from perfect conditions.

Max should get voted Whiner of the day, not driver of the day.

If F1 is about whining and not driving, then yes. But unfortunately, it is about driving and for that, he would deserve the title for the day.

Between, has anyone been counting, how many on track passes that Verstappen has done on Ricciardo, since he joined Red Bull?

So we've come to the conclusion that the winner doesn't win the race it's the runner-up that loses it......

Giovinazzi literally replaced Werhline. They both crashed on the same straight

Ferrari just plain stupid decisions today. Why were they waiting so long with kimi?

They probably forgot he was in the race, abysmal performance by him.

And you would probably win if they gave one out for whining fan of the day!

It was concluded in Australia already & and confirmed in china...

Lewis did not win the race today, Ferrari lost it!

And the tifosi whining begins! If Mercedes fans can't claim this for the last race, no way the tifosi gets to claim it now.

Lewis did not win the race today, Ferrari lost it!

Dude, he just had a better pace every single lap he was in control. Max switched with new tires and did fastest lap and then Lewis on next lap with very old tires set the fastest lap (taking vettel +1,5 sec on a single lap). He just was in control today so no one to blame except Giovinazzi.
Without his stunt we could have a really nice race just because some of them was already on slick and others on wet tires missing already the window so they at the time with every lap passed gap will close around 4-5 seconds. From that moment when SC it was so CLEAR that no one can fight and catch LEWIS.
This was a crap race so nothing to fight between you lewis and vettel fans...

It's so absurd, Vettel was at no point leading the race(unlike HAM last week) yet they are already claiming that Vettel had the win in hand even with HAMILTON pulling away from him at ease.

Before the Gio crash Vet was pitstop corrected ahead of Ham. It was pure luck, that the Bulls and Mercs got the free pitstop.
Interesting is the race to the SC pitstop: I was wondering about the speed especially Ham and Ver took. Good use of the rules?

I agree, Bottas his race was questionable as well today.

Ferrari unlucky, how do you expect a SC coming after a VSC? Gamble did not pay off but good recovery to come second, RBR screwed them pretty bad in first 20 laps...its really hard to overtake...

They did it to themselves by not making kimi yield to Vettel!

[F1NAC]

SO basically you can pass only McLaren with DRS today.. .

Ferrari really need to assess their strategy calls, way to trigger happy in bringing Seb in and way, way to pathetically late with Ria.
Strategy still their weakness.

Kimi is the gift that keeps on giving

Bottas spun whilst warming his tyres up. That's surly a rookie mistake, Bottas isn't a rookie.
