Making a mistake? He was punted out of the way

Welcome to formula wwe.

Do we get th hear the part where Kimi was told to move over, and he told them to sod off cos he does not work for them next year?

[godlameroso]

Where are all the Verstappen poop talkers? Where'd they go? What a great race, amazing job from Alonso. McLaren are lost without him.

[Sevach]

Only Ferrari powered cars with no technical issues. Coincidence?!?!?

Ferrari was reportedly conservative on their Canada engine, decided not to go with a more powerful not fully approved version (so people say).

Definitely a team in crisis, wrongdoings all across the range of their responsibility.
It will be particularly interesting how the react now on. Unluckily for them, next GP is in one week time.

Things aren't so bad with a naive look, drivers' situation is as was when they were heading to France.
But honestly, you got to get your act together.

Yeah where are Tag, Andres, Iotar and Nathan

Mercedes lobbying the FIA as we speak to introduce the reduced tread tyres at all tracks due to blistering.

OMG! I was expecting a Merc 1-2, they got ZERO points instead.

[Vasconia]

Vettel pointed out something interesting because he has said that they began to push too late. 100% correct. They should have put Max under pressure in order to destroy his tyres.

Anyway a good day for Ferrari. Very good race pace though Mercedes was the fastest car. At least with supersofts.

[TAG]

Not the result anyone was expecting but it was a fantastic race. I thoroughly enjoyed it, the start was frenetic but I was on edge the entirety of the 71 laps!

Mercedes need to rethink their entire strategic program.

The most mature drive we've seen from Verstappen yet, excellent result, kudos to Ferrari for not doing the swap at the end. I think that's an indication that they may keep Raikkonen for another year.

I hear he eats a lot of red meat and not much fibre, so they're big as a baby forearm and impossible to flush.

I swear, this kid is amazing. I don't get the hate, probably because of the vendetta with the Tifosi.
So happy for him, I just can't wait for the moment he will fight for championship.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Congrats to Max. That was proper, solid drive from him to ace the race. He thoroughly deserved the win.

So much for Mercs version 2.1 engine and all it added "goodness".
It seems complacency has set in with quite a few unpardonable strategy errors, parts not meeting specification and so forth. You get the feeling of a team in limbo. Heads will surely roll now.

Calm down its gearbox and fuel presure problem.

My point is only buttressed by the fact that it seems to have affected not just one, but both cars. So, you have strategy and engineering fails thoroughly trashing a race that was theirs for the taking, losing valuable constructor and driver points.

The last time it was folk getting dimensions of the engine wrong, today it was a shocking strategy failure and an equally shocking double DNF.

Something has become old and tired at Merc. After today, Ferrari now leads both constructor and drivers championships.

Yeah it affected both cars today FIRST time after 1955 Italian GP. This was just bad luck and tough track that caused both fails. I agree it was strategy mistake that they havent pited but I am more surprised by Hamilton's behavior after the team's fault. You are at 4 place 11 laps younger tires than people around you in arguably fastest car on a track with 3 DRS zones and you go on and on on a radio instead to race and speak after race. That was not we win and lose together etc.I chear for Mercedes and for Hamilton but this was again whole world is against me moment... If he was at Alonsos place he would crash that car direct in pitwall.
