oh dear

What is oh dear about it? Do you deny they ever did that?

As for passing: Verstappen actually passed Vettel, unlike Ricciardo.

What? I don't remember seeing that

Shouldn't be long before they are swapping parts from Dan's car to help max when needed, not like they ever done that before.

Well quote from Ric pretty much sums it up "We were leading then we got pulled to a three-stop strategy when in the lead and we then had to pass three cars. That was not the original plan."

Oh yeah and I totally forgot that Ferrari strategists can't think for themselves and so have no objection to go for a strategy so obviously inferior that it will hurt their best driver. ... Seriously. No need to be sarcastic toward me. They said Vettels 3rd stop was strategic to cover Riccardo. The...

Exactly RBR handed the best strategy to their golden boy

Smart drivers make a lot of effort to win over the hearts of their mechanics. Fangio was famous for that, he got his mechanics to do things that could be considered unacceptable. But it was always to improve the machine or driver's chances, never to cripple the car. These days the garages are cover...

I think these stats confirm what just about all fans where mostly thinking. When i watch a race now, i just pretend there are no Mercedes and it's a great race than lol.

Unless there is safety car or mechanical problems merc will easily get 1/2 with a 25+ second gap to the rest of the field.

Dan the man with a monster lap in the end but credit where credit is due, max was impressive considering it was only his second day in the car. Looking forward to the race tomorrow and seeing how things turn out.

Lol at Ferrari having a huge cry, classic stuff.

Look out Mercedes if RBR ever get a PU than is even close in HP.

Dan what a monster lap, nice.

Mercedes in sector 3 quicker on mediums than Ferrari were on softs. Unbelievable traction in the slower sectors on that car. They will walk Monaco again, and here. Yep exactly, the gap between the Merc and Ferrari is larger than the media and commentators lead you to believe. The only thing stoppin...

That crossed my mind as well. Ricciardo is the new Webber and Verstappen is the new Vettel. The difference is though is that, like Vestappen, Ricciardo is also a product of RB's young driver program, where Webber was not. I also have not seen or heard any indication that Marko favors one over the o...

I keep reading a lot online that Ricciardo is under pressure to perform now max has got the call up, not sure these people have been watching the same races i have this season, his performances have been top notch so far. They are all taken over by the Max hype, I remember when Senna first came int...

Re 2014, McLaren were contracted to use Esso fuels and were reportedly getting 45 hP less than Merc were with Petronas fuels out of the same engine. While that is something that was mentioned, I find it highly doubtful the difference in HP to be so vast just from he fuel. I've raced high compressio...

This seems an appropriate place to post this: http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/10270514/f1-penalty-points-which-drivers-top-the-charts-in-last-12-months Verstappen had better have a calm introduction, he's the closest to a race ban. This is why this move has me so baffled. Verstappen better l...
