SERIOUSLY!!!

not even on super softs.. WTF FERRARI??!!

EDIT: ok.. too upset I got colour blind

 

[Zaru]

Kimi better push those Supersofts like hell.

 

[brotkasten]

That took way too long.

Hardly lucked out, Ferrari took a calculated risk which, being Ferrari, didn't pay off as you would expect given their tactical ineptness

The SC played right into Hamiltons hands.

[Xando]

Vettel making up a second per lap on Hamilton? Did i hear that right?


edit:
nvm was only one lap

 

[Blastoise]

Ferrari thought Kimi could get third without pitting. Kimi is too cowardly, and wanted to pit.

Ferrari did a logical move in the first safety car by pitting.

They couldn't have predicted a second one would happen.

Ferrari tactics where shit last year but this time it wasn't really their fault.

 

[Business]

Finally they pitted Kimi.

That was ridiculous, why wait? They just gave up the position to Sainz for no reason at all, you could see clear as day this would happen for the last 10 minutes.

Lewis isn't exactly pushing it though. Has seconds in reserve if pushed.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

bwoah

thanks

 

[JDB]

thanks

bwoah

 

[Zaru]

Fastest lap is already 4.4 seconds up to last year.

Yeah but they pitted him too quick anyway, needed to time it for the end of vsc to keep the temps up

But as i said, it's Ferrari, any tactic they try has a high chance of going wrong as it's in their blood

 

[Chuck]

HAM legit shook after just one loss...

 

[Grug]

Going to be a bit of a yawn of a race when we look back on it but I think we can safely say now that Vettel can take it to Hamilton this year.

 

[Zaru]

Well that's the race then, Vettel just got told to keep the gap.

Some nice overtakes though. Crazy Max podium (or Riccy?). Equal points for HAM and VET. Could be worse.

 

[Xando]

Imagine if Kimi wouldn't have held Vettel back for 10 laps we could have a Ham/Vet battle now.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I can't help but wonder that too.

You believe Ferrari's data. Lol.

Battle for first aside, I don't think it has been a boring race at all so far.

 

[brotkasten]

That annoys me the most. Kimi being garbage and ruining any chance Vettel had left.

 

[Grug]

Yeah fair point. I kinda meant "yawn... Hamilton".

 

[M52B28]

Even if Vettel weren't held up much, I feel Hamilton would still have at least a 1-2 second lead.

 

[Danielsan]

Hahah Nico.

 

[CrayToes]

Man called him Nico lol

 

[Grug]

Even if Vettel weren't held up much, I feel Hamilton would still have at least a 1-2 second lead.

In a vacuum maybe, but pressure does funny things.

 

[Tempy]

LOL NICO

 

[dakun]

LOL Nico Bottas

 

[Chuck]

"Nic-uh...Valtteri"

 

[Pryce]

Kimi 40 seconds back.

Jesus.

 

[Rolfgang]

Nico already unretired.

 

[nny]

So that's what's going on... Rosberg came back.

 

[Tempy]

Force India doing pretty well this year.

 

[Zeknurn]

Voted Giovinazzi for driver of the day.

 

[JDB]

I'm guessing saying 'P4' threw him off.

 

[ElTorro]

Kimi 40 seconds back.

Jesus.

Ridiculous underperformance from Kimi today. The only thing he achieved is to hold up Vettel.

 

[Psychotext]

Kimi needs to step the fuck up. He's really not impressed thus far.

 

[spuckthew]

Rosberg won't get P4 - that's a 15 second gap. Should be able to get Kimi if he's competent though.

 

[Aiii]

If they finish like this, Max is going to be third in the WDC.

 

[sems4arsenal]

I miss Rosberg already, Bottas needs to prove himself sooner rather than later.

 

[Lunar FC]

Kmag! 😨

 

[Grug]

Cmon Ricciardo!

 

[Blastoise]

Not bad MAG.

 

[Chuck]

Let's go, Danny!!

 

[Aiii]

Give Finish Britney a chance lads, he is still new in this car.

 

[spuckthew]

Kmag! 😨

lol, I almost thought he binned it with that change of direction.

 

[Psychotext]

Come on Verstappen!

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Even if Vettel weren't held up much, I feel Hamilton would still have at least a 1-2 second lead.

Being only 1-2 seconds in front by the end means you are mostly there thanks to strategy and track position and you don't have a real pace advantage.

If VET can get a few poles and Ferrari don't start making baffling tactics decisions we are in for some classic races.

 

[nny]

Haas overtaking everywhere.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Come on Ricciardo, payback time.
