I´m amazed the guy still thinks people will let him just stroll around on the outside of a corner.
Even more amazed he never thinks that when he´s the guy on the inside.

As good as eyesight, definitely, as in Hamilton was just trying to make the corner. He wouldn't have gotten around turn 2 without the line he took, and Nico knew this when he went in. Why? Because he did the same thing to Hamilton in 2014.iotar__ wrote:As good as eyesightdans79 wrote:Payback for 2014 when he pushed Lewis wide if memory serves!. It wasn't about keeping position, putting team-mate off track was all that mattered, wasn't even looking at Vettel. Hamilton's dirty driving and bad start costing Mercedes points again. What's the excuse this time, software from Aus? Then car and other problems for NR- they're doing best RB's '10 impression.
- Rosberg looked a bit afraid of Verstappen doing something stupid, still it was up to him, he should have dived inside earlier (last or previous attempt) and forced space rule. BTW all those "lines experts" from Spain should watch Verstappen's.
- Vettel didn't do much impression on fresher softs. I'm not sure if it was a bad strategy, looked alright and the car was quick, RB behind pace wise as predicted
- Bottas better than either of RB drivers, Ricciardo - mistakes and mediocre pace, Red Bull's media fiction of self promotion (best drivers) lasts exactly one between races sequence.
Yes, Bottas shows 1 stop was ideal, but his car could keep up with Kimi's Ferrari and the Red Bulls nonetheless.f1316 wrote:Taking nothing away from Bottas because he did really well, but his presence on the podium kind of shows that one stop was optimum.
I don't know why Ferrari gave up track position again, just as they did in Australia.
Nevertheless, championship closing up and even Seb had almost halved his gap to the front in last three races, so that's something.
