Ocon and Perez were dead equal. Ocon didn't prove a thing in Force India. A journeyman like Perez should be left in the dust by a supposedly WDC-material driver. Like he was left in the dust by an actual WDC in 2013? Button beat Perez, and that was a season after the high of 2012 when Perez was a h...

I see perhaps two strong camps here, Hamilton fans and none Hamilton fans. Hamilton fans in the main are happy for Bottas to be retained not just because he's beatable for Hamilton but also because he's trustable, he's a fair teammate, to say it's because Bottas offers no threat wouldn't exactly be...

ReservoirDog

Some people seem like they are trying pretty hard to find reasons to criticise him. Bottas simply said that when he tried to push harder, it just happened to result in that mistake. He then just mentioned that as an alternative, he could have just played it safe and not risked trying to get by. He ...

ReservoirDog

Not his fault in Hungary. Germany yeah he binned it but it was a race where most people made errors. Only sheer luck saved Hamilton from joining him back in the garage early. If Wolff was indeed using these last 2 races as a guide to determine Bottas' future in the team as some suggest, then I see ...

ReservoirDog

It's assumed the last 2 races were like a barometer to judge his 2020 seat, Bottas had his worst 2 races during this period as a stark coincidence. I know Wolff said his overall results would matter but the last 2 races before the crucial summer break (where contracts are either signed or torn) wer...

Maxmillian and Lewis at the moment.

I have a feeling Red Bull will surprise us in Abu Dhabi and possibly even Brazil.

Strange race this one. Red Bull faster in quali but slower in race. Lost how that's even possible. Ferrari wasn't even in the same Formula it seems this weekend. Mercedes is still number#1 by a good margin, but the Bulls may beat Ferrari at a bunch of tracks. Next up is Spa I think, there Ferrari sh...

Grosjean, 3 times over.

Lewis by a mile. What a display of pace in the last stint.

ReservoirDog

Guess we got the definitive answer.

ReservoirDog

I think it was a clever piece of man management from the pit wall. Hamilton was all over Verstappen just after he pitted with fresher tyres, but LH seemed a bit lost for a solution and was looking for help, they could have left him out there and then he could have had a go on to have at the end mar...

ReservoirDog

Red Bull were cowards today, and paid for their cowardice. Plain and simple. Full marks to Mercedes and stunning laps by Lewis, my driver of the day by a mile. Close second is Max for his defense against Lewis around lap 45-47.

ReservoirDog

Red Bull completely dropped the ball today with strategy. They had to pit before Lewis and just got complacent. Shameful. Drive of the day from Lewis on the other hand. Those quali laps were mighty. He delivered when asked. Very Schumacher-esque. Merc would have kept Lewis out then and taken P1 wit...

Mercedes has been faking pitstops all through the hybrid era, nothing new.

Today's second isn't Valterri's fault though. He had a wing failure. Still not looking too good that going into the summer break, he's barely ahead of Max. What's the point difference between them, 10 points?

Hamilton isn't even the fastest Mercedes driver. C'MON. Verstappen. Fastest man on the planet.

ReservoirDog

I see Mercedes back on top. Ferrari should pip Red Bull too here. RBR is not good in slow corners where Merc shines and sort of also Ferrari.

ReservoirDog

After a few bad races, Merc will be on top as usual. Nothing to see here. Just a little bad patch, not much to see.

ReservoirDog

And a shame we will never see Lewis -vs- Max head to head in the same car. Rumor has it Max turned down opportunity to join Merc - would be VERY interesting to find out how accurate that is, but we basically won't know definitively for many years if ever Contrary to what some overzealous fans onlin...

ReservoirDog

You do realize that his contract is not up until AFTER next season, don't you? He won't be driving for another F1 team next year and I can't see him in Indycar or WEC either. I think he's going to be at Ferrari and that's where I would like him to be. Win or lose, he should finish out this era with...

The guy got a pole and won in Canada, only for some inept dudes to take that away from him, and now, six weeks after, he is finished? Not sure which race you watched, but in Canada 2019, he cracked under pressure once again and made a mistake that a 4x driver leading a team simply shouldn't make. S...

ReservoirDog

His steering lock is not the only thing that affects his corner exit trajectory, he was also accelerating too harshly instead of being more gingerly with the throttle pedal until both cars had exited the corner with enough space, and then he can floor it. On lap 68 he did not just shove his foot fu...

I'm not sure about the overtake. 50/50 penalty maybe. It wasn't close to what Rosberg did a couple of years ago. What annoyed me most was he was straight on the radio complaining Leclerc turned into him. No Leclerc was following the track. Please explain which track he was following after watching ...

ReservoirDog

This race is very similar to Suzuka 2005. The driver at the front just chilling just assuming he's won the race. Meanwhile a driver from way back is charging and then finally overtakes in the final laps of the race.

I felt bad for Leclerc but he really should have not lost here.

Leclerc conceded the corner and went superwide. And the turned right sharply. Verstappen had full lock on at all time and never turned left. It is very cut and driver. Leclerc when on a walk in the garden, Verstappen took the opportunity, and the Leclerc when oh sheesh, and tried to reclaim the raci...

ReservoirDog

Leclerc probably didn't expect the result. And there's a chance he could have driven better earlier. It was obvious a win was on the cars when Verstappen was +14 secs behind P1. It surprised me when both Horner and Max said they only thought about the win when he was second. It's possibe Ferrari als...

No. But heard he got the penalty.

Vettel '14-'19 Worst spell from a top driver I have ever seen. If you only watched these season without any knowledge of pre-2013, you'd be left scratching your head how he is leading a front end team. Special mention to '18 where he threw away a certain WDC through the worst driving I have ever wi...

ReservoirDog

There is no way to know but I get the feeling they'd be very evenly matched. This is coming from my view that LH doesn't leave much on the table, so being 0.1-0.2 faster than him would be really difficult.
