Another incredible start by Versteppen

Shame his race is screwed already.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

What a surprise. I was expecting some incidents at the start.

 

[aspiegamer]

Ferrari couldn't make up any places... ouch.

lolteamorders

 

[SictorVullivan]

[RoKKeR]

Lol Max

When was the last time he finished a race/?

 

[nature boy]

Wonderboy fucked again

 

[Lender]

Vandoorne 14th already. Great couple of opening laps.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

What a surprise Vettel overtook Raikkonem.

 

[BigAl1992]

Max, Max, Max. What a shame.

 

[GrimmGrinn]

LOL @ Ver

 

[JDB]

Quite the season for Max.

 

[Dr.Phibes]

Ferrari couldn't make up any places... ouch.

lolteamorders

What?

 

[Juicy Bob]

I can't really blame Max there.

 

[DBT85]

Little surprised to see kimi/Vettel not keeping up with Bottas.

 

[Gandie]

Max throws away another car.

 

[Grug]

Lol Max

When was the last time he finished a race/?

Hungary, 2 races ago, after DNFing his teammate.

 

[JDB]

Hungary, 2 races ago, after DNFing his teammate.

A sacrifice has to be made then.

 

[Lender]

Vandoorne overtook Sainz. P13, go stoffel!

 

[Yagami_Sama]

At least it was not an engine issue for Verstappen.

[Chuck]

Lolstappen

 

[Theorry]

Massa already lost the place but couldnt live with it and send one on the inside of Verstappen.

 

[Grug]

Oops Kimi.

 

[Xando]

Kimi taking a nap on the straight or what

 

[Jezbollah]

Not Max's fault there. Massa has now had major contact with two people this race.

 

[Zeknurn]

I guess we'll have to hope for some technical problems for Mercedes or 1-2 is decided, with Vettel third when he gets past the backmarker.

 

[RaySpencer]

What a surprise Vettel overtook Raikkonem.

When did this even happen anyway? Haha

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Lol Raikkonem. Missed the corner.

 

[Jezbollah]

Right. Seb third. Let's see how fast this Ferrari really is.

[Yagami_Sama]

I missed that first incident between Massa and Perez.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Race over then.

Time to do the ironing.

 

[Ty4on]

Race over then.

Time to do the ironing.

You don't wanna watch Ferrari fight Williams and Force India?

 

[Tempy]

VER-MAS incident: No further action, which I suppose is about right.

EDIT: Somewhat awkward HUL radio.

 

[Xando]

Kimi can't even pass stroll

dafuq

VER-MAS incident: No further action, which I suppose is about right.

Still a shame to see Ver drop. He was doing quite well in quali

 

[Grug]

Haha Hulk.

 

[McNum]

Aw, I missed the last 10 minutes of the race. Verstappen is trouble again?

I wish he'd get a nice clean race soon. Just one, he needs it.

 

[JDB]

haha

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Stroll is closing the gap. Just hope he and Ocon hot each other.

[jey_16]

well this race is over, Merc engine power is too much

 

[Ty4on]

Was doing quite well, but hit Massa in the first chicane and got a FR puncture

 

[nekkid]

Who was it saying that the Ferrari was 0.1s slower than the Mercedes on race pace?

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Vandoorne is doing such a good race. A shame that they lost a lot position due to changing his engine.

 

[Jezbollah]

That Williams is really slippery in the straights.

 

[Stop It]

Everyone agrees the hardware penalty system as-is is extreme, but any change would have to be unanimous, too. Add the actual merits behind trying to stop larger teams from burning through components and this is soooooooooooo complicated.

What does a compromise on this even look like? You can't scrap them entirely or you'd have the works teams throwing entirely new spec engines in the cars every single weekend. Some system where they have to offer their previous specs to the customer teams immediately upon any and all replacements?

Because fixed financial penalties would hurt small teams disproportionately, they could fine overuse of engine components with a percentage of the payments they receive.

Bigger teams would be hit harder financially but the racing would be unaffected. Still not ideal as I'm sure teams would go for the hit to win a championship but this current situation is a farce.

Looks like a wrap for the win already. Hamilton has a decent lead and the Ferrari cars aren't fast enough. Raikkonen can't even get past Stroll yet.
