Mercedes car clearly better than the rest, any point in watching F1 anymore.
F1 2019 season
- Thread starter Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87
- Start date
How long should a fresh set of reds last around here?
Them lot got 12 or so laps on a used set, so with the track cooling, maybe 16-18 laps?

What's happened to Bottas? Ham made up a lot of time on him
Wow, Baku with no safety car and DNF so far.
Surely this time for some drama to unfold?

Leclerc doing a great job for bringing Vettel closer to Mercs
Both told to slow down , Bottas slowed down more
have they left Leclerc out too long , he will come back out in 4th , Seb will not be happy if told to let him pass.
Guess the question will be if Hamilton kills his tyres more as a result.Both told to slow down , Bottas slowed down more
riccardo reversing into himThe Ferrari strategist has fecked up again or have they ?
Fecking hell Ferrari. Why hunging Leclerc so long out there? Just stupid. They got chance to keep Leclerc into podium contention but they messed it up again.
missing Santi's rants today , he will be foaming at the mouth somewhere
Can't believe how long they left LeClerc out there
Would have been an epic rant!missing Santi's rants today , he will be foaming at the mouth somewhere

He will rip Lewis out when its Ferrari own doing.They get no justification for that. We all know its for Vettel's podium chances.
Need an SC now, order won’t change now
And baloons. Those people must be bore to death out there
Those people must be bore to death out thereVSC all cars must reduce speed by 40% and no overtaking.
I know the VSC is safer and fairer, but I do miss the old proper safety car to close everyone right back up again
Max is a threat to Lewis , Bottas and Seb.
Hopefully Max wins this.
Max nearly lost it at the restart.
Leclare , with new tyres in an attempt to grab fastest lap and that extra point.
Should be a doddle for him.
Should be a doddle for him.
Oh this will be an exciting end between Bottas and Lewis
Vettel is absolutely finished at the top level. Ferrari simply have to go forward putting Leclerc as number one driver.
Mercedes 1 - 2 and well deserved , both drove a faultless race.
Just shows that having the fastest car means nothing you get your strategy wrong.
4th 1, 2 finish in 4 races.

Bottas wins
Ferrari are a shambles
Bottas will revert to type as soon as Ferrari finally get their shit together.
He will get privileged as number 1 untill summer break i think whatever performance Leclerc put up.
I feel for Leclerc. To put with this kind of strategy was unacceptable.
Congrats to Bottas for payback from last year. And for Merc for this kind of consistency. Just relentless.
If they had pitted him earlier , I think he would have won.
Disappointing race really, Vettel just doesn't seem to be able to find the same pace as LecLerc. I had hoped that he would have been able to challenge, or at least Max to force his way into the mix. Credit to Mercedes, their car might not have been the best, but no mistakes and got the strategy right to comfortably take out the 1-2
Pretty dull race, Hamilton still has the edge on race pace in the Merc battle but if Ferrari and their drivers are going to keep making a mess of their weekends he can't really afford to be as passive against Bottas on the first lap as he was today.
Valtteri playing for keeps, great to see. He a Finn Lewis, watch out. Wish he were douchey like Rosberg though.
Glad Bottas has stepped it up, makes things a lot more interesting.
Ferrari are really disappointing this season, Vettel especially just doesn't look at it. Whether that's because like Danny Ric before him, Leclerc has knocked him for six or just because the car is nowhere near as good as it keeps getting hyped up to be I don't know. They were awful strategy wise with Leclerc too but I suppose the soft tyres just didn't work so it put them in a bad spot.
Red Bull have pace too, maybe not to the last 0.001% but they'll win races this year.
Good season so far despite the results suggesting a Mercedes whitewash.

Bit of a disappointing race in the end. Missed a bit of the drama that was expected. I guess most of that happened in practice/quali.
Definitely a mistake by Ferrari to leave LeClerc out there as long as they did. I get that it was a little too early to put on the softs, but surely it was worst the risk?
Boring to see how dominant Mercecdes have been at the start of the season, but at least Bottas got the win today to keeotit interesting within that team.
Elsewhere glad to see McClaren get decent points, but shame to see Riccardo have another bad race. Granted it was his fault to go out today. Feels like this bad run has been ongoing forever at this point.
