Great race, so many overtaking and great performances. Little disappointed with Hamilton defense, hoping it would have gone some more time. Max, Charles battle was great to watch. Although Max and Vettel had poor pit stop it gave more entertainment in the end. lol. Norris also made lost of moves at ...

Mercedes-Benz

Definitely an improvement and drivers have also confirmed that it is easy to follow now. Sadly you still need good performance to actually overtake cars. Bernie idea of making track damp could work lol. Also they need to improve tyres a lot. We need more performance and less management. That is the ...

Verstappen, Ocon & Vettel Really? He made a stupid mistake at the start that dropped him all the way to the back. He was then saved by the restart and with nothing to lose, ultimately got the best strategy. lol. He actually had a good start. If anything he gave too much room to Alonso in the start ...

Mercedes-Benz

Glad they got the race. It was exciting race. Not sure how the Japanese track are made with slope but Fuji and here in Suzuka as well the rain makes it looks so much worse than any other track. But it is a great track and it was nice to watch them race in the spray. That is what these drivers are pa...

Ted Kravitz says at the last race in Singapore, Sebastian Vettel noticed something on the Red Bull. "He said the car comes out of a corner then it drops and then just disappears. He is hinting at a collapsible rear suspension. They can run a high rear rake," Kravitz Is this a similar thing to what ...

Mercedes-Benz

Great result for Perez. Not sure about the delay and lack of DRS but there were some overtake unlike Monaco but it was mostly Max doing it. The track is having too many corners and everyone waiting for SC, VSC. But I still like this more than Monaco as drivers really have to drive 2 hrs in humid con...

Mercedes-Benz

Exciting qualifying. I think Perez can help Charles win the race tomorrow by holding rest. This track is difficult to overtake so I doubt Max can get podium tomorrow. Not sure what has happened to Bottas, he used to be really good in qualifying but now is getting beat by a Rookie

Mercedes-Benz

I do not think Hamilton is second best. IMO Max is the best and Charles is very close to him if not on par with him. If he gets support from Ferrari he can beat him next year. I also think Norris is very good but unfortunately doesn't have the car to fight for podiums.

Mercedes-Benz

I do not know if it is due to TD or just normal development during the year but although Ferrari was great in qualifying in Monza. Their race pace gap has grown bigger after the break.

Mercedes-Benz

Poorly managed race. I actually liked who last year Abu dhabi race ended. But I think Max was in control of the race most of the time and the SC in a way hide the fact that the gap was more something like 16secs. Ferrari had wrong strategy I think but I guess they did not want risk Max to overtake C...

Mercedes-Benz

Excellent performance by Ferrari. It would be great if he can hold on. In 2019 Ferrari had good strategy going with harder tyre and they had the top speed to hold the Mercedes. RBR using more downforce could also play on Ferrari hands as long he gets good exit from parabolica, even if RBR has better...

Mercedes-Benz

The VSC, SC killed all the excitement for sure. RBR always take aggressive option and it usually works for them. But it seems hard tyre was probably the best tyre and Mercedes with their car on these tracks especially got it right. The gamble with 1 stop is always that if there is VSC or SC it could...

Mercedes-Benz

In FP and also in qualifying commentators kept on saying 0.4sec to Max is ok for Perez. That is a big enough gap for at least 2 cars in between. Although I do not think it will matter much this year as he will finish at P4 at the worse and RBR could win the constructors. He should be little worried...

It was boring race as the result was decided very early on. Ferrari pace was so bad, I hope this is a one off and not sure their high downforce setup is working as they had poor tyre wear anyways. Next race I think it will be much closer. Ocon did some nice overtaking.

Mercedes-Benz

Pathetic performance by Mercedes. They perform better in the race but still I think P5 and P6 is most realistic option under normal circumstances. Perez gap to Max is a concern but I hope today he can win. Teams taking penalties here seems like a good decision.

Mercedes-Benz

I was pretty sure he was going to retire after this year. lol. Not sure what he is going to achieve with AM. May be he is hoping for a lucky win before retiring. For AM I think it is a decent move as they do not want another young driver besides Lance and IMO great chance for him to beat Alonso and ...

Mercedes-Benz

Some races he has been in different strategy. I think he is doing better than expected and has settled rather quickly in the team so you would think he can only get better.

Mercedes-Benz

I voted for Charles and Ferrari. It's a shame if the title is decided before Abu Dhabi. DNF in Spain where he was cruising, DNF in Baku and he had track position at worst he would end P2 behind Max. Some how Ferrari made him loose in Monaco and Silverstone. Stupid crash in France at worst P2 and her...

Mercedes-Benz

IMO Ferrari have massively underperformed in the race. I think their pace was very poor to what everyone was expecting. I think temperature played an important role. Some how RBR looked faster on a track suppose to suit Ferrari and same happened to RBR in Austria.

Mercedes-Benz

Charles against easily the fastest Ferrari driver. He was begin held by Sainz again then even with 3-4 laps of underrcut Sainz could not stay ahead after pits. He then overtook Russell build up 5secs gap before Ferrari screwed him. In spite of taking extra pit stop he was only some 3-4secs behind Sa...

Next 3 races we can expect an easy Verstappen victory.

I think the track that were suppose to be strong for Ferrari, RBR looks better than expected and vice-versa. But both Ferrari drivers will take 1 more penalty so big advantage for Max and RBR. I think both titles are gone for Ferrari

Mercedes-Benz

What a disaster for Ferrari. What happened to their pace ? Sainz was slow and poor Charles getting screwed by Ferrari strategy once again for no reason. Amazing driver getting let down by his team. I think it is pretty much over now this was suppose to be Ferrari 1-2 and Max some where in midfield w...

Mercedes-Benz

Wow unbelievable qualifying. RBR P10 and P11. Ferrari seems to struggle all the way in qualifying. Surprisingly Max was able to compete and beat them which was little unexpected. I think it is all about tyres, temperature and some how Mercedes got it. It should good race, if it is dry Max is not goi...

Rain is forecasted for Saturday & Sunday.

lol Ferrari need a normal weekend. In dry they can get 1-2 here but if it is damp or wet then anything can happen.

Mercedes-Benz

lol you can't blame his for Monaco and Silverstone. That was purely Ferrari mistake that he lost a win there. I also think it is normal to trust the team as he does not know what is happening to others around him. I still find it odd how he lost his car in France without wind or something. It was re...

Mercedes-Benz

https://i.imgur.com/hWeVDG2.png Source - Imgur Very interesting stat. Charles was just as fast if not faster than Max before he crashed. Mercedes 0.4sec per lap slower is probably right. Perez needs to up his game. There was no reason for him not to get podium when both Ferrari driver had trouble.

Mercedes-Benz

25-30 second advantage? It was a 30 second loss under racing conditions and 16 second loss under SC. There were only two drivers on for the win today and one crashed out. Max did as expected without Leclerc in the race. Nothing special at all. You are saying Max only lost 16secs due to SC ? If that...

I voted for Max. Everyone got a free pitstop due to SC so 25-30sec advantage and Perez was still 17secs off the pace 25-30 second advantage?

I voted for Hamilton by mistake. lol. But I think Max was the driver of the day. Everyone got a free pitstop due to SC so 25-30sec advantage and Perez was still 17secs off the pace.

Mercedes-Benz

Was it really Charles mistake or throttle pedal issue ? He was doing amazing job. Perez pace was really bad not sure what happened to him. He was almost half a sec per lap slower to Max. I think Ferrari will take at least 1 more penalty so I think Max has big advantage.

Mercedes-Benz

Leclerc and Mick for me. Leclerc is proving to be probably the best driver this year. He has just been so unlucky. Mick was very feisty and very quick. He seems to be improving all the time. Good on him. Hamilton drove well but made an error to let Mick by and that cost him a lot of time imo so I d...

Mercedes-Benz

Ferrari had big advantage in the race and could have been easy 1-2. This looked similar to Australia where RBR was no where in the race. Sad to see Perez race getting destroyed in the start and Russell still got P4 in the end. There was good racing in midfield. Mercedes were 41secs behind which is ...

Mercedes-Benz

Big Ferrari advantage. I think very early it was evident Max would finish 3rd probably 15secs off the pace similar to Australia where Charles was 20secs ahead of Perez. I think it was setup issue there so may be something similar here today as well.

Ferrari are good. Charles was only 1.6sec in the end. It is going to good race between them. Mercedes are much slower even though in qualifying they looked good. Perez will want to get past Russell early. Mick was doing great defending unfortunately he lost K Mag with the DRS in the end but Hamilton...

Mercedes-Benz

Charles even with damage was faster than Sainz. So sorry for him. Everyone wants to see Max and Charles for the title but I think he is not getting the good support the team.

Mercedes-Benz

So sorry for Charles. If I am Max I will be happy another damage limitation. Charles is the only one who can beat him. Great race overall would love to see how fast Max could have been. Mercedes also surprisingly very good in the race.

Mercedes-Benz

Max had this covered all the time. May be Charles could put a fight to him but definitely did not expect Sainz who was no where near until that lap no wonder he was surprised with it, lol. I am expecting Ferrari to be strong here but P3 in dry Max was comfortable ahead so I think it is good if Sainz...
