podium yes, win don’t think it’s on the cards today

Quite a large stretch to get to podium here I think. Just a bad race fro Merc this one and it all, ironically started with Verstappen.

Re: 2019 Austrian Grand Prix Race Thread

We need Hamilton to pass bottas of we want a race for the lead. Bottas will just sit and follow If not for Verstappen sleep, Hamilton would have gotten past Botas, who didn't have the greatest start too, but that fail from Max saved him. Luis will have problems overtaking Bottas now, don't see how ...

Honestly, getting tired with all that moaning, complaining and lies from Vettel.

Merc screwed up again in Monaco and only luck didn't cost them the race this time, that's why Hamilton was a bit grumpy at the end, cause they put him without much need in a very tight spot.
