Hamilton had race winning pace. What a shame...
Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.

I think Hamilton was something like 50 seconds behind Russell after lap 1 (inc. the first stop), so to be c. 14 seconds behind Russell now is reasonable - assuming same number of pit stops for both?
I think the driver pair is the same as with Bottas. Close in qualifying, but Hamilton just finds something special over a race distance. Presumably part of that is tyre management.

Are you sure? I think if that wouldbe true HAM first needs to show he can finish in front of his team mate.

Wow Lewis' car is on fire.

From the back of the pack to potentially what 10 seconds away from the podium?

Imagine if Merc had a car that could do this from race no.1

Unfortunate for HAAS and AR, they deserved better scorings.

and he wanted to retire the car

that sort of tells that his performance this year hasn't been due to the car, he just doesn't want to put the effort in to be best of the rest

Ferrari is still the team to beat. Leclerc would have easily won without the technical error.

bad driving is not being cursed.
Was missing moronic posts for a while. Welcome back.
Another podium for Jorge, must have double the amount points of his second driver team mate by now

Very few drivers are getting so battered as Mercedes second driver
One season of being a 2nd driver in 15 years isn't so bad I guess.

I'm totally disgusted with these RedBull team orders. It's just so manufactured and fake.. And it's just six races in. Smh.
