F1 2018 Season

Bottas must have known it was coming, can see why he is upset though.

 

[Xeno]

If Vettel retired would they give Bottas the place back?

100%, they still might.

 

[BIGbadBOO4]

Is it me or do all the drivers not like trying to overtake Verstappan? Because big chance he will take them out. Or are they saving tyres?

They don’t want that work

 

[pauldyson1uk]

WTF is Lewis doing , he does not need to attack Max , he had to come in.

 

[vangagal]

Celebrity on the paddock is fine but everyone kissing up Putin thats a big no Sky

 

[Kazi]

Max is gonna go ham for 10 laps

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Sky dont do the filming , that is done by F1 ,Sky have no control over what is shown.

 

[vangagal]

Sensible choice for Max. Better save with gamble hammering that ultra than hyper

 

[Enigma_87]

Hamilton has just been the better driver this year, regardless of car shape. He deserves to win it all.

 

[Giggsy92]

Max was faster on used softs than on new ultras, fecking Pirelli.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Japan the next race and apparently there is Typhoons forecast , could be interesting next weekend.

 

[Kazi]

Vettel sounds defeated, poor guy

 

[Xeno]

Herbert chatting shit, “Lewis deserves the win today”. Jesus.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

exactly the right thing to do, Bottas must have know it was going to happen.

 

[altodevil]

God Herbert is such a twat

 

[Leg-End]

If Bottas doesn’t like it, plenty of better drivers to take his seat.

 

[Kazi]

How do you guys rank the fastest drivers on the track (assuming everyone had equal cars)? I’d think Verstappen & Ricciardo are both up there.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Game over. Bottas is such a wingman.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

I dont like team orders but today it was the right thing to do.
Lewis is 50 point clear , basicly 2 DNF's clear.
Should Bottas has won yeah maybe he should.

Lewis, Seb then Max for me, Max will be a WC.

 

[Member 90887]

Good lord, it's like a funeral.

 

[vangagal]

Lewis will beat Schumi's if he stay motivated beyond 2020.

 

[Leg-End]

Lewis, Max, Danny, Seb are the upper level drivers. Max might be dominant if he gets a car in his mid 20’s and Lewis/Seb are gone.

Vettel is an all round great guy tbf

No, today it was absolutely unnecessary, he would have been 43 points at the top. which is an enormous gap.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Never used to like him , but Yeah I agree.

 

[vangagal]

Vettel is an all round great guy tbf

I find him more torelable than Lewis

 

[Jazz]

Bottas and Lewis handled that really well. Do feel bad for Bottas though...

 

[pauldyson1uk]

50 points is a better gap 2 DNF's 43 points was not enough.
Bottas knew it was coming , it should have happened going into turn 1.

 

[Leg-End]

If he’s quick enough Bottas will get that win back before season end. Abu Dhabi special probably.

 

[stu_1992]

Tough on Bottas, but not surprising and tbh if I were Team Principal I'd make the same decision. I'm sure he understands, but it won't take away that bitter taste.

 

[Member 90887]

I find him more torelable than Lewis

Well, it's because he's more down to earth and less hypocrit i would say.

 

[Giggsy92]

Kinda wished they'd switched back if only to avoid this funeral atmosphere post-race but it was probably the right call sadly, the Ferrari's too quick to give away 7 points at this stage. Would have been interesting to see how the race would have played out if Vettel hadn't messed up and had managed to keep Lewis behind him - think he helped Merc avoid a very pissed off Lewis.

 

[Member 90887]

50 points is a better gap 2 DNF's 43 points was not enough.

So, you want to tell me that in 16 races, there was a single DNF, in the 5 remaining races, there's a risk of 2 DNFs, with Lewis finishing behind Vettel in the other 3 races.

Com'on now.

I agree better safe than sorry needed there. But the thing is, the tension and thrill for championship already gone for me. Vettel just couldnt fight even if they give him a perfect platter now.

 

[altodevil]

Result means it would have made more sense for Vettel to have hung back massively, not pressure Hamiltion. Would have made the Merc switch hard to put past Bottas. Hilarious.

There is always that risk , OK you dont agree thats fine , but I would have done the same.

Anything can happen, Hamilton lost a WDC with a points adjusted 43 point lead with 2 to go in 2007. Engines coming towards the end of their life span, bad weather in Japan. At this level you don’t risk it, why would you? Bottas had 15 races to be in the fight.....he isn’t.
