Redbull was the only one with the good strat. Good race.

Also Ham did a good job. I think Bottas is destroyed by last two weeks just cannot beat Ham.

Hulk's race is ruined by bad strat by RP.

Poor Bottas. But he had equal footing with Max after the second stop and blew it.

Can you believe people say the mercedes is the dominant car?! Hah. Jokers.

This is why Toto does not count his chickens before they hatch.

Merc couldnโ€™t release their full pace. It was a tyre-limited race; it was always gonna be close.
Itโ€™s a really interesting conundrum isnโ€™t it. It definitely made for a more interesting race doing the tyres that way, but it clearly prevented the Mercedes being able to run as fast as they could do.

Interestingly I wonder what would have happened if it was Hamilton leading into T1. Usually he pulls away from Bottas.

Look at the state of Hamilton's rears after only a handful of fast laps. There was no way the Mercs were going to win that race with the tyres available today.

Well done Max and Christian... ...from a former Max-Hater, now just a Max-disliker.

Toto...you got played on Saturday.

Bino...better give Lec a raise, he is the only thing keeping you in a job.

He started from 9th. So, better then he has been doing this year. He had to fight thru the pack. Always different from racing from 3rd.

From those on the pack he blatantly looses to Leclerc that with a worse car made a better race. All others were not as good as Albon

RBR: normal strategy (starting on hards), excellent setup on hards, well-executed race thus Max a rightful winner
Merc: poor strategy (starting on mediums), poor setup both on hards&meds thus poor results

Seems that RBR could win only when things didn`t go smoothly at Merc and in addition they must have the right strategy and a perfect race execution ...

For me, the driver of the day is LEC who in the last 15 laps or so run on the same pace and even better than frontrunners, not to mention he and RAI were the only drivers with a 1 stop strategy!

What a sore loser Hamilton is, complaining on the radio that Verstappen must have lower tyre pressure. That's accusing you competitors of cheating.

They only can with Hot weather unfortunately otherwise the Dominant car is too dominant even Hamilton thinks that seeing his talk about tyre pressure aka cheating. Noone can beat a Mercedes unless cheating =P~

If someone had told me two years ago that I would be satisfied that Max won and that the first Ferrari driver finished fourth, i would have told him that he is a drug addict ...

Verstappen P1 read it and weep haters.
It seems the moderators are going to allow garbage like this to stand so I'll remember this for the future!
It was a nice friendly thread up till then, wasn't it?
