They should just do it at this point. Honda failed and no token development has only made them worse.
It'll be a messy split and they'll need sponsors. Might as well start designing for that Merc engine.
18 year old kid celebrating his first points in F1 at his home race what an idiot.

So not only did force India or Sainz lose the chance to get a podium by not letting Ocon through as soon as he got to the back of Sainz, they cost them 4&5th by fighting and therefore letting Ricciardo out of DRS range and helping Vettel catch up
That move on Ocon felt like he was forced off the track though

Collission in the first corner between Verstappen and Vettel, Vettel lost a part of his front wing.
Thought he had a solid race, personally. And I've been a huge critic of his. Will do him the world of good.
Lewis could have driven horribly. THey showed him the first lap and the last.
Yep, remember Bahrain 2014? Pérez overtook Hulk on track.

Stroll sucks, but it's his home race after a string of failures. Let him enjoy it.

In what place was Nando when his engine Honda'd?

It wasn't about challenging Perez, it was about challenging Ricciardo and Ocon was quicker. Ocon is more likely to try a risky pass on Ricciardo than on a teammate.
The team obviously wanted Perez to let Ocon pass so Ocon waited behind.

Fun race, Vettel making all the way up to 4th after that start is something.
And Perez didn't do anything wrong, team needs to make the order and they didn't.

Listen better. Waßer said broken engine, what a surprise, then Danner said "oh heiko" and then "yes, you are right".
nekkid
It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
I'd imagine Honda will be looking for a big pay off, considering their lengthy agreement. Cheeky, but I bet they'll take what they can get.
Ah, thanks.
Pretty much. Ocon had a bit more pace and probably could've mounted a better challenge to Ricciardo's 3rd place.
Fuck Perez. Although the team should've been firmer.
Honor and shame will be a huge part of it.
Alonso needs some of that crowd love, a carton of milk, and some wine.

Indeed the only culprit here was Perez being stubborn in trying to keep Ocon for passing him. Also what's with this "please guys give me a chance" If he felt he had the speed to overtake Ricciardo he should've just taken the opportunity

Again Bottas was so bland.

And did I call him an idiot? No, I'm just laughing at how low his standards are. P9, good for you Lance, I guess.
No doubt about it, but let's not pretend like it's some great achievement objectively.

My opinion of Perez has undergone a complete 180 after today. Even if the team was silent and you can make a fair case that he shouldn't just randomly let his teammate past, he was a dick pushing his teammate off the track and dangerously blocking him. There's no championship involved. There's just team points for FI.
Well duh.

Ferrari, presumably?

That's BS. I am glad there was no order and they were just racing. Sad to here that people complain about team orders when Ferrari might do it and at the same time ask Sauber to do it.
Poor poor Ocon. Really feel for the fella. Perez was never gonna catch up to RIC, let alone overtake him, felt he was just being a bit selfish there and didn't see the big picture or have the "team result" in his mind.
I think Ocon was purposefully keeping his distance behind Perez to protect his tyres which were 12 laps younger.
FI should have been more assertive with the team order. There will be a heated debrief for sure.
Ocon is my driver of the day

He could fill Kimi's seat...
Perfect number two driver.
Hamilton saying well done Bottas on the radio is evidence to me that he doesn't see him as a real challenger for anything

He's not wrong. Redbull sucks this year and they're not going to get a ray of sunshine from Renault either.
Stroll was decent. I hope this is more his level going forward.
Ocon was great, maybe should have been more aggressive with Perez early on. Also was smart to avoid Vettel as he had zero control and they would have collided.
Good result for the championship. Hamilton always comes back and shuts everyone up after a slump.

Wow, how did that lose out to the current meh title?
It's easy to see why. He clearly thinks he's the only one who can nab podiums for Force India (I mean, it was that way against Hülkenberg) and didn't want to hand that glory to his rookie teammate.
Blame Ark.
