Gonna be safety cars and red flags galore if it starts like this. The lap counter has already started but the race hasn't started.

Bit of a shitshow.

[harrybarracuda]

Had all the makings of a decent race, especially when Ferrari fucked up Pepe, but the rain and Schumacher wrecking his car led to the clock going on and it all petered out rather tamely.

Ferrari with another one of their signature strategy fuckups. If this man was in charge of Ferrari's strategy , they would have won.

“He doesn’t have the technical background like Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher”- Former Mercedes engineer thinks Lewis Hamilton always needs fast car

Former Mercedes engineer Philipp Brandle thinks Lewis Hamilton would always need a fast car to give him confidence in winning.

Lewis Hamilton is not having a good time in F1 this season. The seven-time world champion after seven races into the season is P6 on the standings, right behind Carlos Sainz.

Something which was not expected from the Briton. On the other hand, his teammate, who is having his first year at Mercedes has consistently finished with top-5 of every race so far this season.

Thus, he is standing P4 in the standings. Therefore, a noticeable contrast in results is making Hamilton’s critics question him. Though, there is no denying that W13 is tough to drive.

However, former Mercedes engineer Philipp Brandle thinks Hamilton is not technical enough like Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg. Thus, he would always need a fast car to boost his confidence.

‘‘He’s really a driver who needs a lot of confidence in the car. He doesn’t have the technical background that Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher had. He needs confidence and therefore a really fast car,” Brandle says of Hamilton.

Too early to rule out Lewis Hamilton?

Agreed that Russell is currently 34 points ahead of his compatriot and bringing in more fruitful results. Still, it would be too early to dismiss the Mercedes legend.

Moreover, there have been instances where Hamilton has even proved faster than Russell. Amidst all of this, Hamilton has confessed that he doesn’t see himself vying for the championship this year.

Meanwhile, Toto Wolff has been fully supportive of Hamilton in the process. He claims that once luck comes in Hamilton’s favour, things against Russell will be better.

“So [once] these unlucky situations stop with Lewis, they’re very much on the same pace. [During] one practice, one leads and then the other one. And that is great.

“Also they work together in order to get our car straight because we need to get our car straight,” he added. Hamilton will next race in Azerbaijan, where he would be wishing for better results.

Poor old snubby resorting to posting clickbait. Are you skidmark in disguise?

You once again fell into the trap. You are just a dumb fucking flag waiver. Typical Dumb Brit.

[harrybarracuda]

Yes OK skidmark jr.

You gormless twat.

[bsnub]

I think I will take the worlds of a former Mercedes race engineer over the opinion of some flag waiving clueless numpty.

[harrybarracuda]

OK skidmark jr.

You're as good at trolling as your dad.

If he was any good as an engineer, he would still be at Mercedes. Hamilton has nothing to prove as a driver. His seven world titles prove that.

[harrybarracuda]

Poor old Sainz. His car sounded like a blender full of nails.

[bsnub]

Time for Lewis to retire. He looks shit.

Oh look it's skidmark jr. again.

Fucking Pepe must be spitting feathers.

[harrybarracuda]

Gotta love Ferrari. Got a fast car with great aero, and an engine out of a fucking Skoda.

[harrybarracuda]

Ferrari engines seem poor value.

[harrybarracuda]

Well Mercedes aren't going to be unhappy about that, but Ferrari.... oh dear.

Good job you switched to Red Bull snubby, you little glory hunter.

[Norton]

Well Mercedes aren't going to be unhappy about that

3 and 4 but 46 secs behind the winner can't be happy times for Mercedes.

Voted driver of the day...but he struggled getting out of the car.

Clearly these cars are not as safe as last year and changes are needed to the rules.

I suspect Lewis is feeling it more because he's no youngster and the Merc is the worst, but as the commentators said, you have to wonder if other teams would rather live with it rather than have him back in a competitive car....

Umm a Mercedes is on the podium you utter twat. The Mercedes is the only car to finish in the top 5 all year. Jesus.

[Backspin]

This was the most boring race all year. Would have been a good end if the Ferraris kept their engines together.

Onto Montreal

[Backspin]

Not sure if real.
