Gutted for Kimi. He was outstanding all weekend. Ugh, so frustrating. He would've won that for sure.

Right now he's head and shoulders above Mr. Mediocrity on the other side of the garage. And please, spare me the bad luck stories and endless excuses. That only gets you so far. We're well past the point where getting embarrassed by a teenager every weekend needs another explanation.

Lots of weekends left for Kimi to keep dunking on Mr. Mediocrity no? If he’s head and shoulders above him, he should wrap this championship fight pretty quickly!

Not if he keeps damaging his car like he did in Spain and here in Silverstone. He destroyed his own race today.

It is not acceptable this poor reliability this year, incredible..

Echo your sentiment.
I mentioned this many many races ago, there is a 'talent gap'. It's undeniable.

Kimi has a serious advantage over Russel as he didn't feature in the GE era for long. The current regs are more inclined to Kart racing for being nimble.

Russell badly needs the Spa update to restore the gap to Ferrari he had earlier in the season and solidify 2nd in the championship, because a Mercedes that's only a couple of tenths quicker isn't enough to keep Hamilton behind him the way he's currently performing
