he absolutely sucked this race. He clipped ricciardo at the start, got a penalty taking Kvyats wing, almost hit Gasly, and locked up multiple laps.
they can probably just get Hulk for the rest of the year if they don’t want to promote Gasly again.

How did they manage to find the perfect camera angles to make the cars look so slow here?

Albon looked pretty good early last year but been really crap since joining Red Bull. I do hope he is gone, just a whiny brat these days. Get Hulk in for the remainder of the season.

Ricciardo. Excellent.
and wtf at Albon.

I'm a Vettle fan, I really hope he turns it around at Aston Martin next year. I feel he's current form at Ferrari is a combination of things and doesn't represent what he can do.
That not a downer on Leclerc, he's definitely faster quailfer than Vettle but not by these gaps.
Also annoying Max not having the car to challenge Hamilton. Merc are just too strong.

Well done to Lewis for equalling Michael's record.
It will be a very, very long time before anyone topples whatever he leaves on.

It’s hard to imagine a team matching the sustained dominance of Mercedes coming along again. Hamilton has feasted since 2014 and he could easily be around another 5 years when he’d be 40.

I'm happy for Nico, no pre-race preparations and to advance from P20 to P8 is very impressive. Also a great job from Daniel even though Cyril is probably not 100% happy. 
Albon is definitely gone after this year, it's only a question if they'll consider bumping Gasly again or find a replacement from outside of their program.

Hulkenberg deserves a shot at that Redbull seat. That is all.

The red bull second seat has Hulks name written all over it.
I actually think it's better they have a mature driver next to Max rather than another rookie. Max is so talented that he makes all the other rookies that race alongside him second guess themselves and its just too much pressure for most of them to handle. The only way it works is if they find another freak like Max who also happens to have a big personality.
Guys like Gasly and Albon perform better when the pressure is off and that second seat at redbull comes with a huge amount of pressure and expectation.

They’ll have to do something about the 2nd car next year with a Mercedes powered Mclaren and Vettel at Aston Martin possibly pushing them for their usual spot on the podium. Renault is getting better too. They can’t get by with just Max scoring points.

Well Daniel doesn't try to force other drivers to bend the knee in support of his political statement. Or at least he's not there yet. This season has been an eye opener for me in terms of supporting the drivers and the teams. I'm glad that Kimi, Charles or Max are standing their ground.Even the face masks have become spaces for political statements. It's just funny seeing a multi-millionaire like Daniel Ricciardo with the word EQUALITY written across his face:

So buzz is that Russell could be out at Williams for Perez?
Claire Williams blocked him from possibly leaving to Mercedes this year and the new ownership might boot him out late with no seats available. Crazy.

I'm not really excited about Portimao, but I'm willing to give the track a chance.
According to almost confirmed rumors Haas is going to change its entire lineup for next year and that's big news. They must've been hit quite bad financially if they're not leaving at least Kevin to continue developing the car he knows.

Getting rid of Kmag for a rookie pay driver is insane, but Haas totally seems like the guy that finally bites on the Mazepin money. 2021 will be shitty for all Ferrari teams too.

Tbh the existing drivers are terrible and have done little to develop the car - it's an odd move though to double-rookie. It's like they've learned nothing from the Williams debacle.

Figured if anyone at Haas would stick around it would be Kevin.

So Grosjean and Magnussen have left Haas...
Hope K-Mag can find a drive, he has backing. Romain seems to aiming for WEC.
If Haas go with Schumacher and Mazepin, I think it might be among the least inspiring line-ups in recent memory.
And if that's the case, I hope Schumi absolutely annihilates Mazepin. The guy is absolute trash. In racing (like many, I suppose) because of his rich dad, but he's an unbearable, unlikable arrogant tool to boot. Has no place in F1 whatsoever. At least Latifi and Stroll have a modicum of pleasantness about them. And Stroll has a good junior record to justify his place in F1. Mazepin has done fuck all.

Tbh both KMag and Grosjean are shit. They need Hulk or Perez, two rookies would be a disaster.

Wow, father of Vitaly Petrov, was just shot today near his cottage in Russia. Probably some dispute with local crime.

Damn, that's crazy. Poor Vitaly first had to deal with hate speech aimed at him and now a true family tragedy.

It would be great it Mercedes replaced Hamilton with Russel next year and saved a lot of money with the same results. I hope they consider it at least.
Lewis is fast, can't deny it, but in Mercedes car everybody can win now, even Bottas.

Albon is getting fired for sure. P12, not even close to the points, lapped by his team mate who once again made the podium and was 30 seconds ahead of P4.

At this point Albon might be replaced before the end of the season, especially if Red Bull will decide to try it out with Hulk who doesn't have any other obligations. I'm also amazed by how Leclerc is keeping the Ferrari trainwreck from falling apart. Even if he's getting the new parts first the gap between him and Seb is still huge.

Red Bull should've babysat Gasly like they do Albon now. Albon is useless. No speed, no personality, no racing aggression. Albon and Kvyat are having their last seasons in their F1 careers.

At least Charles is managing decent spots with his car.
Beginning of race was insane.
Nice show from Sergio.
Again, WTF, Albon?
Congrats to Lewis, I guess.

In other news Kai Ebel from RTL is ending his 26 year (!) career as an F1 journalist which covered 505 F1 races (!!), because RTL is losing the rights to F1 next year. Such a long run, I remember him from the 90s when I watched F1 on RTL because of no local alternatives.
