Mercedes need to take the next two weeks and fucking practice their pitstops. Cost Lewis the win today. He could have undercut Rosberg with an < 3s stop. Otherwise they need to junk the current FW and put the old one back on, the brakes have failed twice in a row with it.
I think I prefer Vettel and his finger waving. Rosberg has this perpetual sense of utter smugness.
It was there all last weekend in the best motorsport event on the planet.
Woooooooo yes! Despite them dropping some places, really a fantastic result for the team and Bottas.

Wow... that's pretty harsh.
He's upped his game, there's no doubt about that.
And Hamilton hasn't been 100% convincing.
It's okay, guys. I'm just fine.
For a second there I believed you because the picture didn't load.

Somewhat along these lines, yes. Unfair perhaps, but I get the same vibes. Rich, spoilt kid being on top of the world. It`s like he was born in Ralph Lauren or something
I kind of agree really. Rosberg seems to be cracking under pressure at times, but still managing to hold the advantage. It's really strange.
Honestly, it may have been boring, but I preferred seeing Vettel flawlessly win every race over Rosberg stumbling from time to time.
I'm legitimately disappointed that Vettel hasn't been a factor in this season yet.
I'm really happy for him. I wish I could've catched the press conference.

Valtteri was eighth Finn on the podium in history of F1 (if you count Nico too. He has dual nationality).

Sky is not even bothering with Ferrari interviews anymore.

Yeah they mentioned that during the coverage that ignoring Nico, Valteri he was the 7th to podium out of only 8 Fins in F1 total. Racked my brain to think who the unlucky one was, but had to look it up. Leo Kinnunen was the man, though Mikko Kozarowitzky also tried but never made it through qualifying. Pretty amazing record.
Conversly there has been 14 Australians in F1, 2 world champs, 4 winners and only 5 podium and points getters. Though we do have one who ended up in the harbour at Monaco, that has to count for something.
Remeber when Ferrari was on at the top of their game with Schumi?

Said on Sky, the problems with HAM's pitstops were:
1, too deep coming in.
2, a loose piece of something meant one of the tires had to be placed very carefully. I'm guessing this is the same as the very thin layer that Nico cracked in Australia. I remember there was a shot of it then (maybe a gif also?), but not caught on camera here.

So he's developed pitstop problems in his 7th season of the sport?
Really?
REALLY?!?
When have we ever seen or heard of such a thing? The answer is never, because there's nothing he's doing wrong as a driver. The time is being lost while the car is stationary. I'm not suggesting a conspiracy, but gross and consistent incompetence when he comes into the pits. He's never had a problem parking an F1 car before. Terrible theory. PEACE.

That's funny, because A1/Red Bull Ring is the very first Tilkedrom, lol.
Good race and great to see Williams giving Merc run for their money. Also Alonso, what can you say about this guy, what he can extract from that Ferrari is astonishing.
I think it is Nurburgring, isn't it?
Ok, this one from Twitter wins the day
No wonder, car is suited for his racing style... just check Kimi, how lost is he
Mercedes had problems with front brakes today, compared to Canada, when rear brakes overheated.
AUS GP: Mark comes, Seb retires
MON GP: Mark comes, Seb retires
AUT GP: Mark comes, Seb retires

Yeah. Pretty amazing record fo such a small country. It does help that we help each other out to get in F1. For example manager of Valtteri is some no name called Mika Häkkinen lol and manager of Häkkinen was Keke Rosberg. It's kinda easier to get F1 contract with those kind of names behind you.
No, what I am saying is that he should go take a look at the pitstops with his team and find out if something can be done better. Losing 0.5 - 1 second on a pitstop is very damaging, and if doing some analysis can find an issue then he should do it.
I don't think it's just that for Kimi. Maybe in quali, but in the race he always does quite well in the beginning stages. However, Ferrari's pit strategy has fucked him over more often than not.
Again, in this race, Alonso and Kimi were 8s apart before their first pit stops. After they had both done them, they were 16s apart.
That's some bullshit.
