F1 2018 Season

[vangagal]

HA HA I know one person who is screaming NOOOOO right now.

He will piss everyone if that happen but i'd love to see Lewis in red. A cocky driver and cocky team is a good pairing.

 

[Giggsy92]

Bottas and especially Hamilton on the slightly damp grid spot are going to be under so much pressure from Vettel at the start, can't see how they can box him out like in France so expect Vettel to lead lap one if he keeps it clean. If that does happen the race probably comes down to the weather and whether Ferrari's tyre woes are helped by the lower track temps or not.

Normal start.

 

[vangagal]

Normal start.

I thought you wont watch

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Good start , thought Seb had Lewis at one stage.
Max is having a storming race, lap 7 and already up to 6th

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Max bossing it atm.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

I thought you wont watch

Just checking the updates.

 

[Leg-End]

Merc are being overly sporting, Bottas pace might allow vettel to jump Hamilton at this rate.

Agree. Mercedes doing a Ferrari when they let Kimi hold up Vettel

 

[vangagal]

Any chance of rain?

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Bottas in front of Seb, just where Lewis wants him

 

[Giggsy92]

Merc pitwall sleeping... Terrible strategy.

 

[Leg-End]

Told ya. So dumb from them, so dumb!

 

[pauldyson1uk]

WOW thats was excellent pits by Ferrari , for onec Merc fecked up .

 

[BIGbadBOO4]

Absolutely ridiculous from Mercedes. Terrible terrible strategy. Bottas slower than Hamilton and Mercedes trying to be sporting.

 

[stu_1992]

A rare good strategy call from Ferrari. Could be key.

 

[Leg-End]

feck that was mega from Hamilton.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Lewis should have been taking the lead in to tern 1 and Bottas holding Seb off , team orders should have been used.

 

[vangagal]

They did dummy with Kimi's pit just to unsettle Lewis one. Good payback Ferrari.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

That was some driving from Lewis.

 

[BIGbadBOO4]

Was Vettel moving all over the place then?

 

[vangagal]

He got upperhand with slipstream thou

 

[Giggsy92]

Incredible stuff from Hamilton. Penalty for Vettel though surely for that second move into turn 2.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Did Seb move twice, it was borderline for me.

 

[altodevil]

Strategy doesn't matter when your car is 3 tenths faster

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Vettel under investigation.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Max leads after starting 19th , some drive.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Even if Vettel got a penalty, it would be useless.

 

[vangagal]

Max leads after starting 19th , some drive.

Yes and no. Differential between big 3 teams and the rest too far.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

why is Bottas in front of Lewis , he should be behind and Bottas holding off Seb.
Team orders should come in to this .

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Yes and no. Differential between big 3 teams and the rest too far.

Yes I agree it is , but still he has to do the overtaking.

No further action from Seb , correct decision.

 

[BIGbadBOO4]

why is Bottas in front of Lewis , he should be behind and Bottas holding off Seb.
Team orders should come in to this .

Totally agree.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

No penalty for Seb.

 

[Leg-End]

Finally they make the move, they aren’t completely dumb

 

[BIGbadBOO4]

At last. Championship at stake Here, later in season Hamilton could hand win back to Bottas.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

That was team orders , Lewis passes Bottas and not he will hold of Seb.
Team orders in order and the right call.

 

[Leg-End]

Bottas is slow, he always fades.

 

[altodevil]

Never agree with team orders for a win, it's the pinnacle of the sport bar winning the WDC. However, can understand more in this situation given Verstappen and Vettel.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Some wont like the team orders and I can see why, but the championship is at stake and it had to be done.

 

[Jazz]

Completely missed the start of this race as thought it started at 1
