Now thinking Vettel's neck might come into play but maybe that's just me looking for excuses.

Another excellent day for Haas as they are best of the rest again and not to far off Red Bull. Fuck off Harry you wanker. Hamilton will DNF again.

They're not too far off Red Bull because Red Bull are almost a second a lap off the pace, you fucking numpty.

No shit you bozo I am well aware. Doesn't have shit to do with the fact that such a young team is outperforming everyone else. You just can't stand it can you you utter toss pot.

[Airportwo]

Some utterly ridiculous uninformed posts, Williams have got this race in the bag! there strategy all season has been working towards dominating this race but your all too dumb to see it!

[VocalNeal]

While it is OK to support young teams, I believe the issue may be a result of perceived fervent nationalism?
Haas's current form comes from being a Ferrari satellite team. It is also no accident that Sauber is doing OK with Ferrari power.
Haas is about American as Force India is Indian. There again I suppose there might be 1 billion Indians who think it is.

I always tend to side with the underdog or anyone who isn't Hamilton or Verstappen.

LeClerc is doing very well. Erickson. not so much.

While this is true I still do not care.

Agreed! Anyone but Hamilton.

LeClerc is doing very well.

That is the key point. LeClerc is out driving the Sauber. He is just plain fast. Be driving for Ferrari next year.

[Norton]

Hamilton will DNF again.

Possible from what I saw during qual. Both Mercedes bouncing all over the place in braking. Gotta be a problem over 52 laps.

They ARE everyone else you utter cretin.

No-one outside Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull even have a sniff of the constructors'.

You fucking muppet.

At least their wheel didn't fall off. Gasly was crapping himself when he saw that.

[harrybarracuda]

Well Vettel got his teammate to shunt Hamilton off the track at the start which has cost him dear.

Seems only tyres can get Hamilton back into it. Bottas is best placed to take advantage.

[harrybarracuda]

Well Vettel's neck must have hurt but it will have been worth it.

The top four in a charge at the end, Hamilton managed to recover from last to 2nd behind Vettel, with Raik third and Bottas fourth.

Damage limitation.

Haas were shit as usual, behind Red Bull, McLaren, Force India and Renault.

They really are fucking rubbish.

[VocalNeal]

Just goes to prove that the fastest car will win the race, the driver has very little to do with it. Come from last to second.

He could have started last and still got the same result.

Interesting to watch but true fans should not be fixated on results. Just watch the spectacle or the skill

It's not even worth starting to pick this stupid post apart.

You're an idiot.

[bsnub]

You fucking muppet.

One word for you muppet. VETTEL!

[VocalNeal]

Pick it apart at will.

You think Hamilton would have come second driving a Williams or a Haas or a Sauber? No. He came second because he was driving the Mercedes.

Put Alonso in the same car and he would also have come second starting at the back. Maybe even Le Clerc? Or God forbid Verstappen.

Yes it's fairly fucking obvious the three monied teams are streets ahead of the rest.

But that doesn't mean there isn't racing between them, you moron.

[Bettyboo]

After the Silverstone race, I hope Hamilton can win the Yermin GP.

Will know soon enough but we may see the last races at both Silverstone and Hockenheim this year. Contract expires this year with F1 and no deal in sight yet to renew for the future. Shame to see these classic venues go but it all about show me the money. No money, no race.

[harrybarracuda]

Hockenheim: Mercedes confirmed on Friday that Valtteri Bottas will continue as team-mate to Lewis Hamilton for at least another year.


A day after announcing that defending four-time champion Hamilton had agreed a two-year blockbuster contract extension keeping him at Mercedes until 2020, the team said they had retained Finn Bottas for next year with an option for 2020.

[harrybarracuda]

Bit of rain in Hockenheim.

Should spice things up a bit.

FP3 on now.

[harrybarracuda]

Vettel did a few laps on the wets and spun off. Hamilton has gone out to wander round the track and have a look.

It's fucking soaking and the cars are all over the place. Be interesting to see if Quali goes ahead on time.

At the moment the two Saubers are fastest.

Qualifying in two hours (20:00 Thailand).

[harrybarracuda]

Turned out to be a dry session, Lewis put his car on the kerb at turn one and drained the hydraulics in Q1 so will start 14th.

Bottas and Vettel swapped lap records with Vettel coming out in front.

Vettel
Bottas
Raikkonen
Verstappen

Snubby will be wanking himself silly that the Haas' are the best of the rest again.

[Jack meoff]

14th shouldn't be a problem.
