All of you Ferrari and Hamilton haters better run and hide. From now on, Hamilton is the WDC challenger. It took time, but Hamilton steered the Ferrari technical staff in the right direction. Hamilton knew all along how to improve the Ferrari. The team listened to him. Now we see the results. By the way, thirty years ago in 1996 a racing driver named Michael Schumacher won his first race for Ferrari in Spain. Hamilton wins his first race for Ferrari in Spain as well.

The problem for these people isn't the quality of the race, the problem is that a certain driver won...
Race lacked on track action compared to previous races and thanks to unreliability we had exciting 10 laps. Problem is that some people say it's the great race because a certain driver won.

You've missed an entire season in which Leclerc completely humiliated Hamilton.

Hopefully Hamilton's tires will die soon so we get some racing between Antonelli and Russell.
Yeah, all about the on track action...as long as a certain driver isn't involved, right?

Hülkenberg had to retire because some gravel hit a kill switch which shut off the car. We may see Lawson trying this more often now ;)

Lewis is actually in contention for his 8th. That's unbelievable.

Hamilton is disrespectful for wearing swimming cap on the podium imo. Under the national anthems.

What is that delta. Jeez. Almost a second faster. Obviously flattered by doing a 3 stop, but still.

Same for Verstappen, that VSC helped him. He was losing time on Norris, 100% not better race pace than Norris.

In this thread:

People hating Hamilton and disagreeing with the opinion of the driver who finished 2nd in the race.

Sometimes I wonder how people function when they are so delusional.

Incredible race from Ferrari and Lewis. Only way Mercedes win that race today was team orders by swapping Kimi and Russell. Russell would never let that happen though so they were kind of stuck.

I think it can’t be ignored how the pressure from Norris helped Ferrari make this strategy work.

Lewis had genuine pace today. What a great way to win ! And it's not like he's been finishing outside of the top 5 and suddenly lucked into a win - he's got the consistency up and running again, this will be a fight.

Couldn't be better news for people who truly love this sport.

I'm not sure how Norris was able to keep up with the Mercedes. He's quietly having a brilliant season and so are Perez, Sainz and Hulkenberg.
