[Ark]

This is great stuff, really intense.

 

[Cuddler]

Hamilton won the race, congratulations.

 

[tomtom94]

Culd be worried about rain.

But Hamiltons in now.

And they got him out in front of Perez like they wanted.

 

[Tubie]

2.4s pit stop for ham wow

 

[DBT85]

Bet Massa loses a place in the pit.

oo so close.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Bottas is going to be fuming when he misses out on a podium

 

[Zeknurn]

Gg that's the race over. It was fun for the first 20 laps.

 

[Diablohead]

how was that a safe release lol

 

[Juicy Bob]

Ham will lead easily

 

[kharma45]

All your own doing Williams by holding up Bottas.

 

[Dilly]

Yeah, that was good while it lasted.

 

[stryke]

There it is...

 

[Linius]

Oof, so close

 

[Tubie]

jesus that pit release

 

[DBT85]

Williams stops are always so slow.

 

[thenexus6]

They blew it

 

[Deadman]

They were going to lose anyway but it's a shame Williams are so bad at strategy

 

[Spookie]

Honestly expected a crash there.

 

[Zeknurn]

Williams never gets strategy right.

 

[dakun]

Rosberg lost big time

 

[Xando]

Williams fucked up... Who could have seen that coming.

Back to borefest now.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Fuck's sake

Are Mercedes the only halfway competent team on the grid?

 

[DBT85]

Rosberg lost big time

Yep, if we assume Williams still wont release Bottas then Rosberg will be stuck behind them both until the next stop, if they even do another.

 

[Gareth Bale]

I reckon Williams will be delighted with 2nd again

And delighted they're only fighting one Mercedes now

 

[iceagecoming]

ffs bring on the rain

 

[Linius]

Fucking hell

Hamilton is just gonna cruise away now

 

[ramparter]

Rosberg will explode.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Rain... rain.... rain.

Please.

 

[Ruruja]

Rosberg aiming for a DNF with those lairy overtakes.

 

[aspiegamer]

Hamilton might have won anyway, but Bottas has been screwed out of second at minimum by his team.

 

[killer_clank]

great race. hamilton's strategy was great.

 

[kharma45]

I reckon Williams will be delighted with 2nd again

More than likely.

 

[silver.tongue]

Rain... rain.... rain.

Please.

This.

 

[Dilly]

Fuck's sake

Are Mercedes the only halfway competent team on the grid?

Williams are privateers that have the fraction of the budget Mercedes has, and they're almost beating them.

What were you expecting?

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Williams never gets strategy right.

No strategy would have saved them.

 

[dakun]

Williams only mistake was not pitting massa with Hamilton at the same time.
Bottas being 1st would not have chamged anything except for the name of the williams driver fighting with Hamilton

 

[iceagecoming]

fuck off renault

 

[Tubie]

Bye Danny

 

[DBT85]

Williams are privateers that have the fraction of the budget Mercedes has, and they're almost beating them.

What were you expecting?

Everyone watching this race knew what needed to be done.

Everyone.

 

[GKB]

Welp, what a shame. Better strategy next time, Williams.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Get the rain in now

 

[mclem]

They say rain is in Oxford?

(Glances out of window)

Nope.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Williams are privateers that have the fraction of the budget Mercedes has, and they're almost beating them.

What were you expecting?

Not just this race though is it? They're walking it every fortnight.

I'll happily admit that I know shit all about the intricacies, but is the Mercedes car/drivers/staff that good for them to be dominating like this?

 

[dakun]

Why do you guys want rain? Rosberg fighting against the williams not exciting enough?

 

[Diablohead]

dat dark cloud in the near distance

 

[Kuros]

Absolute facepalm Williams.

 

[aspiegamer]

Hamilton remains the god of inlap-outlap performance. Like, seriously. Vettel was great at this near the front, too.

Bottas going to be sooooooo pissed after the race and I'll sympathize completely. The hell, Williams? Hamilton was ~2 seconds in front and surely Bottas could have been more than 2 seconds ahead if he was let by 15 laps prior. Fucking hell. Dammit Williams. What do you think you owe Massa?
