The shock of the race was that Max didn't get "driver of the day". Are the Dutch fans all asleep today? :lol:
nah, they're probably all moaning on the internet right now about how boring the race was! Make sure you completely avoid Twitter.
Can you blame them or have you actually convinced yourself that was a good race? 😂

He already told that it actually wasn’t an easy race.

What a car that W11 is! Hamilton doing full justice to that car, especially in Sector 2. An unbelievable a second a lap faster through most part of the race in Sector 2 alone! So much downforce and still keeping up with other cars on straight.

It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either there were lots of overtakes and good battles during the course of the race.

Unlike some I can handle it when my driver of choice doesn't win!

I enjoyed the race. On contrary to general opinion, I actually thin the field is very very close thanks to combination of Ferrari engine getting much weaker and Renoult and Honda power picking up. From 4th to last car they were lapping around with the same time. That is unheard of in F1 history.


Ham, and Ric and Gas did a great job. Especially Lewis yesterday and Ric both yesterday and today. Big respect.

Ferrari.. Vettel has a better strategic mind than the Ferrari strategy engineers. lol. They should have given him new tires when he asked...

RP is a joke. They are intentionally giving less than optimum strats to non-stroll driver of the team.

Who again, wanted even harder and more durable tires?
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Dude? Only impudence is coming from you! Couple weeks ago Ham has lost the tires in the last lap. All top 3 was lapping 2-3 seconds slower than Ric! So they were indeed in trouble to save the tires. lol. sour.?

The entire field was on the same lap at the end of the race. Last year, only 10 cars were on the lead lap. 2018 only 9 cars on the lead lap. Both were Ferrari powerhouse PU races, of course. There was plenty of racing in the midfield this race, even if the front three were always comfortable on pace. Maybe not on tyres, of course.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

I came home from the pub to watch the race. SWMBO was out so was pleasantly surprised to find me home when she got home. Brownie point earned! =D> :lol:

I have a feeling Max is going to do something special today.

Edit- And it will be overshadowed by 'they are quicker than us' crap!
I hope for your sake your comment ages well.
Well, just as I thought...

Top three were all nursing their tyres. No one is saying anything that wasn't obvious to anyone that had actually watched the race.

It was rubbish, my driver of choice won easily but it was terrible.
