Re: 2017 Singapore Grand Prix Race Thread

Can't believe Ferrari have tweeted that was max fault. Mugs, vettel screwed up big time but he won't admit it. Bet Hamilton couldn't believe his luck but after that he drove superbly in difficult conditions where his natural talent shines through. He may not be the best all round but he is the bigg...

Re: 2017 Spanish Grand Prix Race Thread

Oh, if you want to go down that road, Vettel had completely schooled Hamilton before the latter got a helping hand by Bottas and then the VSC. Without those two things which worked heavily in Hamilton's favour, he wouldn't have had a prayer. He needed outside help to get where he is. Couldn't do it ...

It's called racing and top drivers are allowed to alter the width of their racing cars, Vettle schooled Lewis, just as he schooled Botas whom has come to the flaming end of his Spanish GP.
