Kinda feel for Vettel but congrats to Lewis.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

What's the point of not always going to the softest tyre again if not because for that dumb rule again?

 

[Blastoise]

gg

 

[brotkasten]

I'm not so sure about that. It's looking like power unit reliability is going to decide this championship and Vettel needed to build up a points lead to offset the inevitable penalties.

Good race though.

 

[djplaeskool]

Bunch of excitement at the back of the field on the final laps

What F1GAF learned today: never believe the tyre degradation bullshit

^
It seems like you can add 10 laps to whatever estimates are tossed out

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Great race.

Great job by Hamilton.

 

[Par Score]

Get in there Lewis. Awesome drive.

 

[kiyomi]

Really good race. Y'all can bitch about tyres as much as you want, it was a fun race.

 

[Grug]

Worst third place ever for Ricciardo.

Give third to Ferrari kid.

 

[BigAl1992]

Kmag lost out there, and actually wrecked his own race with Kvyat. Also Stroll is now dead last, and well done Hamilton. We've got a race season on our hands.

 

[kharma45]

Good race that

 

[hamchan]

Skipped watching all of the race because things haven't been great for Danny Ric this season.

Danny Ric gets a podium.

 

[nekkid]

Give third to Ferrari kid.

Yeah I'd be a bit surprised if he celebrated much.

 

[jey_16]

Ferrari fucked that up in the timing of both pit stops....very poor strategy

 

[EnlightenedMint]

So happy to see Force India do so well, their drivers are great.

God I hope Perez goes to a top team, those Ferrari rumors need to come true.

 

[Xando]

P2 actually pretty decent for Ferrari.


Remember how we all thought Mercedes updates would destroy Ferrari?

Force

India

Hype

I mean RIC literally didn't have to do anything but keep the car on the track.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Dr. Hasegawa should be the "driver" if the day.Because McLaren overtook a Mercedes powered car on a straight line and the engine did not blew out.

Kidding. Wehrlein should be.

This is definitely the biggest surprise. Ferrari also brought new parts and it seems like they're working so far. It's just a shame that the reliability is going to bite them later in the season.

I predict Vettel losing the championship by less than 10 points.

 

[djplaeskool]

lol
That Hamilton caricature is awesome.
Look almost like Jafar from Aladdin.

 

[Zaru]

Pretty decent race that had everything

Battles and nice overtakes at the front
High profile crashes and retirements
Emotional lows and highs (with the Ferrari kid)
Underdog points
And the meta fact that Merc and Ferrari are still this close after the first set of updates

Shame about Alonso being handed through to the back though

 

[dakun]

So Bottas holding Vettel turned out to be a critical factor didn't it?

 

[Grug]

It was the VSC Seb.

 

[brotkasten]

I'm sorry and you're absolutely right.

 

[DamonForever]

Ferrari strategist are really odd. Surely they know Mercs like putting Hamilton on slower tyres mid race whenever he's behind. And he generally gets to attack in the end, if not always getting anything from it.

Stopping after the VSC too. Shame.

 

[hamchan]

I mean RIC literally didn't have to do anything but keep the car on the track.

I know. What a great sport.

 

[Frankfurter]

Jepp, plus the pit stop of Ham at the end of VSC.

 

[Grug]

Ricciardo getting the shoe off.

 

[Aiii]

People are going to start telling their kids to cry whenever they are on camera now.

 

[John_B]

Hamilton always comes back strong. Finally a straight fight between him and Vettel. It was very enjoyable to watch.

 

[Lach]

Holy shit who is that Mercedes Bond Henchman?

 

[bobnowhere]

Ferrari kid is going to replace Kimi next year at this rate.

 

[djplaeskool]

 

[JadedWriter]

I must say I was not expecting Hamilton to win after the start, but whelp, he did it. This season seems like it's going down to the last race.

 

[Zeknurn]

I'm sorry and you're absolutely right.

:thumbsup:
Hello darkness my old friend.


I'm totally happy though, it looked like it was a done deal after FP2 but it turned out to be pretty damn close both in qualifying and the race.

Next time brokasten! Vettel is going to ace Monaco.

Would probably be a better no. 2 than Kimi

 

[theignoramus]

This Vettel & Hamilton front row action needs to keep on keeping on for the whole season.

 

[Zaru]

Holy shit who is that Mercedes Bond Henchman?

"Big Carl"

 

[Ark]

De La Rosa

 

[kiyomi]

Palmer and Stroll last and 2nd last.

The two chumps.

 

[nekkid]

Where's that ruined Jesus mural?

I expect a repeat of this weekend. Losing pole by a tiny margin and Ferrari screwing up the strategy again.

Not to mention that the reliability issues should start to bite them soon.

 

[paskowitz]

Yes! The kid!

 

[Grug]

The vibe between Lewis and Seb is pretty damn magnanimous so far. They're clearly enjoying the contest.

It's been brewing for a long time. They've both won multiple championships during hugely dominant seasons, so I imagine they're happy to finally have someone equally as good to fight against.

 

[John_B]

I feel bad for Bottas but a bit relieved that it didn't happen to Hamilton. It would have been a bit much if he had to be on the back foot yet again with bad luck.

 

[Zeknurn]

I think they're also both happy that their team mates are nowhere to be seen. Imagine if Rosberg still was in the mix.

 

[Ark]

Even when he's pissed, Maurizo is cool as fuck.
