Events have conspired against Bottas today, I'm going to swap them:

1. Hamilton
2. Verstappen
3. Bottas

I'm not in the least bit convinced that any of the Sainz/Norris/Hulk/Perez group would beat him home though, with or without the startline issue. He really is a fair chunk better than them and was on absolute fire in Austria Take it for what it's worth, but Norris and Verstappen are teammates in th...

mcdo

That's what I said. Verstappen is being flattered by Gasly just like Alonso with Vandoorne who did exactly 1 overtake in 3 years. In Austria, with a competent driver in the other RB, Verstappen would not have won the race and would not have got a 11/10 score . It is all relative and a "lost" teamma...

Merc on hard fast as rb on medium. Anything less than a merc 1-2 would be a surprise! My prediction is that Merc are faster, Hamilton takes pole but is beaten on the long run to first corner and then can't get back past for the lead. Hamilton’s starts have been much better than Verstappen recently....

mcdo

If it's dry I reckon Hamilton has this handy enough. Not sure about Bottas being up there as well though, he's seriously lacking in track time. Max to be the closest challenger I think If it's wet then who knows. It could neutralise the performance gap between Merc & RB. I'd still fancy Hamilton bec...

With the likes of Lance Stroll vaulting up the order on slicks there's no telling how Dan's race would have panned out. He has won in changeable conditions in the past Plus Renault appeared to be getting their tyre strategy spot on for once You mean like Hungary 2014, Ricciardo was only quick when ...

mcdo

Blooming heck. Only Hamilton could have a race like that and actually extend his championship lead. :lol: I have to feel sorry for G-Russ. He'll probably beat Kubica in all but about 3 races and one of them happens to be a freak point scoring weekend for Williams. It reminds me of Tarso Marques tec...

Making their top driver teammates look like they are doing miracles week in week out because the car is undriveable to them or they have psychological issues. McLaren was slow and the RB is slow too.. the narrative is there for a reason. The McLaren was slow! How was it not slow?! Alonso >> Vandoor...

Verstappen, Kvyat, Stroll I docked Vettel for being stuck behind Raikkonen for about 40 laps Ok, but voted for Max who was stuck behind Bottas and spun on slicks, and ignored the driver who overtook everyone in front of him apart from the people that crashed out. Max in a slower car being stuck beh...

Getting an early one in

Hungary

Hamilton did the best thing for himself and cheated, hence a deserved penalty. The rivals of Hamilton would like to see him have to take another slow lap around the track and lose even more time, (even if it is marginally less safe). You (or anyone else) don't know how "marginally less safe" it cou...

mcdo

He gained an advantage by not having to drive for very long with a damaged car, even though he had already passed the pit entry. He cheated pure and simple and it doesn't matter if it was safer as safety doesn't trump everything. For example it would have been safer not to have a standing start yes...

mcdo

So do you think the actual gap is a good picture of their respective talent? I watch the races with live timing and guess what? everybody is overtaking left and right bar Gasly. There is something seriously wrong on his side or in his head. Much like Vandoorne. Q. What do Gasly and Vandoorne have i...

mcdo

Gasly won the GP2 title at the age of 20. Last season people were praising Gasly after his performances in Bahrain and Hungary. This idea that he’s now somehow the worst driver on the grid is complete nonsense. Therefore the argument that Gasly is bad and therefore we can’t rate Verstappen is BS. A...

What he did was not an (penalty-free) option, as he had already passed the pit-entry. The only way to enter the pit from there was to cross track-limits, which he did and which he was penalized for. It was very clear that this would be penalized, as the stewards emphasized that a couple of days ago...

Luck stops coming into it for the drivers that repeatedly deliver. The biggest surprise of yesterday was Hamilton binning it - and that can be traced back to him questioning the move to slicks. He knew it was wrong, the team didn't listen to him There are a few drivers out there that tend to perfor...

I was shocked, shocked I tell you, when Lance Stroll didn't proceed to the nearest gravel trap after being the first driver to change to slicks. Maybe he was a better student than I thought. Stroll has proven to be a really good wet weather driver. Yes he took a gamble going on to slicks when he di...

I think Verstappen would take anyone in the same car now. He's the star of the show this year and he's only getting better

Yup that seems about right.

Max Verstappen. I see Stroll getting lots of plaudits again for trundling around at the back and then benefiting from a strategy call. Stroll is a really good wet weather driver. Today's result was another addition to his impressive list of wet weather results. I think the team can make a risky tyr...

Does Hulkenberg really deserve that many more votes than Ricciardo? One of them retired due to engine failure, the other one drove into a wall. Hulk was faster all weekend yeah, but he threw away another golden opportunity for a big result And so the curious case of Nico Hulkenberg's no podiums cont...

McLaren should have stayed the course with Honda but they did the H a huge favor by dumping them. This is the reality for McLaren now. Second rate chassis, second rate engine McLaren are the most improved team on the grid this year. I think they're pretty positive. They have the right engineers for...

mcdo

Seems to be a real disconnect between Lewis and his team regarding what tires to be on when, I think he needs to get a new race engineer. There are a number of races where Lewis has doubted the call on what tires to be on and it doesn't see like they are listening to what he is telling them. They j...

Ted Kravitz mentioned on Sky that Haas are looking at replacing Grosjean with Pascal Wehrlein after the summer break. I'd like to see Wehrlein get another chance, he showed some promise but never really had a competitive enough car or team mate to show his skills. Wehrlein was pretty ordinary tbh, ...

How? Looking back at the crash, it was impossible for him to round the bollard unless he faced the oncoming cars. The other option was to go round the track with a broken wing. I beg your pardon?

Never doubted him for a second

McLaren are performing better without Honda too. Both sides appear very happy with how they currently stand
