I mean he was the 5th fastest driver at best. Because of fresh SS he did that on low fuel. Had other 4 pitted as well on fresh SS they all would have gone faster That's like saying Lewis only finished 5th today because, his car was the only one on track set-up for the track conditions and he actual...

Max sets fastest lap ever - breaks Juan Pablo's lap record from 13 years ago. That's why he pitted just to get fastest lap. lol yeah. The fastest lap does not mean anything these days Ferrari much faster than RBR here. Hamilton screwed up an easy win though because of his mistake yesterday. You do ...

Well it worked, the kid is now the lap record holder at Interlagos.

Without throwing it away in Q1 Hamilton would have won this easily. His new engine seems to work well and is now only 11 seconds behind Bottas who started on pole. Thanks to the pit lane start he's is also the only car on track that was specifically set-up for the track conditions today, (being in ...

For sure, But his new engine wouldnt have been installed so it hard to say if he would of had the same kind of race pace.

He's the only one in 1:12s and running 1 second faster than anyone at the moment.......

Nasty groove on Hammy front left tire.........

As usual, the award for the weakest, meekest racecraft goes to Bottas. His start was good enough to squeeze Vettel enough so that Vettel would be slow into turn 1, not on the ideal line. Bottas is just a number 2 driver. Bad racecraft, submissive mentality. As the start is basically a "drag-race"; ...

I know I've moaned about this before, but the Sky practice commentary in pathetic. Can't they talk about this stuff before and after practice?? They are not talking about what is happening on screen at all! humm, sort of like here........ (NBCSN here in the US has decided to "delay" their qualifyin...

Did not see this info here this morning........... Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has criticized the sport's organizers in Brazil after members of his Mercedes team were held up at gun point in Sao Paulo last night. Armed men reportedly surrounded vehicles leaving the Interlagos circuit i...

Just in time for Brazil, so hopefully this meant that Williams had the class to let him know that he wasn't in the running for next year before his final home race. He wont go down in history as one of the greats, but I can't think over many better poster children for hard work and perseverance as ...

1976 - Niki Lauda and James Hunt - back then following F1 in America was not something many did visually, as F1 races were not shown on TV as they are today live, but mostly on delayed coverage. I still recall Niki's crash that day at the Nürburgring (ABC Wide World of Sports, IIRC - not live) and h...

Which other driver left the track with all 4 wheels and made a pass? Bottas over Ricardo early in the race and then Bottas also did it to Verstappen - IIRC Vettle did it to Bottas when he squeezed between him and Vandoorne..... PS (added) - NBCSN will reply the race @ 8PM, check it out again then.....

F1nut

I'm not sure, as I haven't looked at the replay, but... As I saw it in the race, didn't Ricciardo push Bottas wide? I thought Bottas had every right to come back. Yes, I believe Ricardo did play hardball, but Bottas took advantage of the run-off area to come back on track ahead of Daniel. As noted/...

And max is given a 5 sec penalty...... I'm so sorry for Max here, as that is a really sucky way to find out he got a penalty for doing what Vettle and others did in gaining their finshes....... :( I saw plenty of folks abusing the track limits today and while I'm a Kimi fan - it sucks to win 3rd by...

Ricciardo was already ahead of Kimi on the timing screens before he did his final run.

Theory: Raikkonen overtook Hamilton in order to back Hamilton into Bottas, thereby compromising Bottas' lap and giving Vettel a shot at the front row, which worked ;) hummm, Ricardo and Kimi have the same Q3 lap times 1:33.577......
