    Ferrari? Who are they? Worst showing on home soil since 1984 according to the Beeb.
    I reckon Ferrari should be grateful that the Tifosi canot be there to watch the race today. Imagine a sea of red supporters jeering loudly.

    The way this season is going, I'm not sure they would have even bothered turning up.

    I do love Kimi. They were showing a highlight reel of Brundle fails.

    He goes up to Kimi and says "Did you see the Pele speech?".

    Kimi says "No".

    Brundle says "Ah you missed it"

    Kimi says "I was having a shit".

    Best hope for today's race is the Mercs take each other out in the first corner and leave the rest to race

    That's how it's been most of the season and they've avoided it so far.

    There's quite a long run down to the chicane, so it should be sorted out by then, but that doesn't mean there won't be a safety car from further down the field.

    Let the Mercs run away at the front, if they can. There is still the prospect of an excellent race behind them. McLaren, Racing Point, Red Bull and Renault all in the mix and less than 0.2 of a second separated the qualifying times of third through seventh. One unknown is how the single engine mode will affect each team over race distance. I am looking forward to it.

    What is happening is exactly why I stated earlier that the season should be cancelled. LH is getting a free championship. I sure hope that there is an asterisk next to his name regarding this year. Fucking most overrated driver in the history of the sport.

    No. That would be your favourite yereman with the one finger salute, when he was at Red Bull.
    Give him lead driver status at Ferrari, and he gets turned over by a novice.

    I bought a Camry for the ex wife about 20 years ago, and Ive been in the motor trade before you were in an egg, so you should probably keep your mouth shut while you’re eating humble pie. ��

    The Camry is a very reliable car. Good to drive too.

    Looks like they are trying out a new handicapping system to give everyone else a chance.

    Ten second stop-go penalty for Hammy.... so about a 30 second head start for everyone. Presumably They will bring him out in clear air.

    I think they just scratched the Ferrari putting it on the truck.

    Well I don't mind them giving the field a 30 second head start but they could do it from the beginning.



    An unusual finishing order, Gasly winning from Sainz.

    Bad mistake from Mercedes to bring Hamilton in when pit was closed but at least Airporttwo got his wish.

    I missed the opening laps, what happened to Bottas?

    Ferrari are paying back the technical debt from last year's cheating. Harry was right with that...

    Not sure, they kept saying he'd made contact with someone, he was talking about a puncture on the first lap, but he didn't have one.

    looked to me like he just "lost the plot" nerves getting the better of him, loss of confidence, appears there was nothing wrong with the car?

    Was an interesting race, good to see someone have a life changing moment, reckon he deserves it after Red Bull demoted him last year, be interesting to see if they "promote" him again and replace Albon? The politics in F1 must be mind numbing!

    ""That was a difficult day out there," lamented Bottas. "The start was pretty poor and on the first lap, I had a bit of contact and I actually thought I had a puncture because I had big understeer in (turns) 6 and 7.

    "And then out of 7, I was pulling to one side, so going into to Turn 8 I was really cautious because I was sure that I had a puncture, but it turns out I didn't."


    Bottas never raced higher than P5 all afternoon, holding that spot despite having to contend with overheating issues.


    "I was suffering some overheating issues with the engine running in traffic, so there wasn’t much I could do," he added.


    "Every time I got close to another car, I had to back off due to the overheating or look for clean air on the straights, which meant I couldn't follow any cars, I couldn't race them, so it felt long.""

    Anyone could have won that race, the mid-table teams are all really close, so I think the pitstop and the red flag made a huge difference.

    You can't really read anything into it other than that it was one of those rare occasions that Gasly didn't make a rick or get in a fight with another car.

    Good luck to him. If he never gets near it again it's still a lifetime trophy that few have.

    Definitely the timing of Gasly's pit stop was the key to his win. Of course, he still had to drive for the win and it was good to see him and the car make it over the line. It all made for an interesting race. Hamilton made up those places towards the end on a circuit where everyone says it is difficult to overtake, he almost made it look easy.

    Bottas must be the loser out of that race. He is driving the 'best' car and was within 7 hundredths of Hamilton in qualifying but in racing mode when his chief rivals were out or behind him he completely failed to shine.
