I wonder if the power steering failure was a result of the front end crash yesterday.

FFS. Hamilton always with the ridiculous luck. And Leclerc always the opposite. As soon as he does his pit stop there's a VSC and then a technical failure for good measure.

Palmer was saying the same thing as Brundle but TBH I think it's just the commentators trying to be positive as Lewis wins for the first time in red. Obviously if he had come out 15 seconds behind the leaders whilst having to pass 3 quick cars that would have made it almost impossible. The VSC couldn't have come at a better time for him to inherit the lead with a tyre advantage to the end. Still, the pace was real and the Merc looked vulnerable the entire race, both from Lewis and Lando.

Man you guys are downers. That turned into as good a race as f1 can generally supply. Boring start but then ferarri strategy plus the mercs fighting on track was great. Would have been epic to see Ham try to finish the charge. Kimi is great. Lando solid.

The problem for these people isn't the quality of the race, the problem is that a certain driver won...

Hamilton got lucky and Leclerc got unlucky. But frankly it wasn’t like Hamilton needed the luck. His pace was out of this world and he won by a landslide. He would’ve won with or without the VSC, it just robbed us of his fight back to the lead.

Yeah the moment Mercedes did not stop and Hamilton gained 2+ sec a lap it was a done deal. The VSC was nice, but he did not need it in the end. Great race by Hamilton and also refreshing to see a good aggressive strategy from Ferrari. A well deserved win! =D>

Did we watch different races? Hamilton won by 20 seconds (I think he also slowed down a bit in celebration on lap 66), so he won by an entire pit stop. He would’ve caught up with 10 or so laps remaining and would’ve had no problem passing Russell and Antonelli, since he had a massive pace delta.

Yeah, I do think he could have won without the VSC but only because Jorge was holding Antonelli. If Andrea had free air, his pace was more than enough to cover Hamilton´s faster pace on 3 stops

Race lacked on track action compared to previous races and thanks to unreliability we had exciting 10 laps. Problem is that some people say it's the great race because a certain driver won.
