I think Russel keeping his foot to the floor whist taking to the gravel, was moment of qualifying for me. I really really hope he gets a competitive car in the next couple of year. that was amazing, I was sure that lap was gone. That moment kept his record intact - never being outqualified by a tea...

Bacus

Impressive stuff by Leclerc so far, what is he doing up there?

Bacus

Weirdly enough, I don't think this was even Gasly's best drive of the season. But the soppy git in me is absolutely delighted for him. And that's how it really works many times, he got this 'fortunate' win also as a compensation for his other good drives throughout the year. In the bigger picture h...

I'm not sure about the straight line speed, it seemed to me that Hamilton was much closer through the corners to the ones in front than Bottas ever was, and on straights he was slooowly crawling to the car in front while being very close. Both Mercs didn't look super fast on straights, but you neede...

Bacus

Ooh, it feels so refreshing for the new faces at the front. Its like clean aiiir!

Bacus

Jeez, if some more laps Hamilton would've caught Bottas. The latter needs some big excuses for that drive.

Bacus

It seems Hamilton is able to make some passes...

Bacus

Hamilton will have a hard time entering the points! Bottas favourite for win IMO. Bottas hasn't overtaken anything since the start of the race I think partly because there was a fast straightline Renault in front. I have a feeling he will get some cars at the start then Stroll not opposing much res...

Now lets see how Ham will cope with that Merc in traffic.

Bacus

what happened to VSC?

It looks like Mercedes have built another car that's useless in traffic

Well it cannot be the perfect car.
It gotta have some flaws.

Bacus

I wonder how much slower the new lap record would have been, had the FIA insisted on track limits. It is so frustrating. We already have cars with so much grip that once great corners are now taken with ease, so when track limits are ignored, the radius is increased making some corners pretty easy ...

Am guessing that Valtteri v. Max will be a very good battle for the first lap. Hope it rains tomorrow!!!

Normally I wish for the unpredictability that rain brings, but Merc is very good in rain, they will extent their advantage.
Max has better chances in the dry to pip Bottas.

WTF Red Bull is doing.... Max was fastest on track...

they just take it safe, he clearly has it in the bag. Even if he has to do one more stop.

Leclerc, Ricciardo and Perez for managing to get to places they shouldn't have.

Leclerc and Ricciardo in terms of finishing positions, and Perez in terms of getting to be an option on this poll.

Bacus

Not just because his tally of all time poles, but because he always manages to find a way to get that lap time, many times in unlikely and at limit situations, Hamilton is for me the undisputed all time best qualifier, hands down.

Bacus

Besides Turkey 2010, just what's in recent memory, Vettel did that at start here with Ham (very close), then in Mexic again at start with Ham (pushing Ham on grass). Pushing the opponent wide in straight line. Only what I remember, but I know he did this lots of times, without accidents but creating...

He knows he's at fault. Right after crash he waited several seconds for Albon....But that could be a good things in how stewards weight this for LH.

FormulaFun wrote:Gutted for Albon, need to see the replay on that one. But honda power, wow they've had a massive year

It could be down to the damaged front wing of Ham? It seems strange that he actually was a bit slower in straight than STR.

Bacus

wow
this race is eventful!

He has a habit of doing that in straight line for a long time.
Even at start he did that with Hamilton.
Sooner or later smth like this will happen.

Bacus

wow, Merc dreadful without Toto. It seems they do all they can to keep Hamilton out of podium.

Oh well, RedBull 1-2! We haven't seen that for a long time.

Bacus

Unnecesary complicated. It will became a game of penalties. What's wrong with using all the space you want if you can drive on it? (generally, not chicanes and stuff like that where you can gain immense amount of time). In F1 everything is already too tight, especially with this new era 2m wide cars...

Bacus

Not a fan of him, but he is.
What he did at RedBull cannot be forget.

Bacus

Lewis. He drove superbly throughout. Agressive and on point (especially at the start).

Bacus

pokerman wrote:I believe we are witnessing a changing of the guard?

I sure hope so.

I've been a Hamilton fan from 2007, I didn't even believe he would get this amount of succes, now I hink he's had enough, someone else needs to be up there. Though Ham may still win this WDC.

He squeezed that pole.
It needed the best of him.

He nearly won, or podium some 8-9 years ago in Brazil.

anything but a Merc win, please.

oh dear, drama.

Nice!

Bacus

that was not actually bad, they all behave.
That's how you get people to learn: put them out there in the difficult situations and let them figure it out.
If you're gonna go keep overdoing it with the security they're not gonna learn to deal with impromptu situations.

Bacus

this is gonna be fun!

oh c'mooon Seb
