F1 2019 season

That free pit stop , is hands down the best bit of race strategy I have ever seen.
Merc saw there chance and took it , completely out foxed Red Bull.
Lewis has to be driver of the day.

 

[Hephaestus]

Brilliant. Brilliant for Mercedes and a superlative drive from Hamilton.

 

[Yorkeontop]

Max vs Lewis will at least make the rest of the season interesting.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Max going got the fastest lap, have to feel for him , but Lewis driving the way he has today , nobody was beating him.

 

[vangagal]

Get in Lewis!!! Hammerdown that cocky Max!

 

[Buster15]

Hamilton pulls this off it might just be his finest drive in my opinion.

He has been quite brilliant. Just an incredible drive from Hamilton and great call by Mercedes. F1 eh. Bloody hell.

 

[Henrik Larsson]

Red Bull completely choked this

 

[ZIDANE]

Wonder what this inadvertently means for Bottas

 

[MUFAN79]

Great work by Merc and Lewis. RB should have pit after Lewis

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Red Bull completely choked this

I dont think they did , Mercedes just out did them with that pit.

 

[Red Star One]

Grande Hamilton, what a drive

 

[pauldyson1uk]

you might not like him, yes he can be an arse, but when he drives like that he is unbeatable.

 

[Red Star One]

Red Bull completely choked this

Not much more they could’ve done in my opinion, it was too late for them to respond to Merc pit and Max would’ve been surpassed had they boxed as well, Mercedes just played it better and Lewis was fantastic today

 

[KirkDuyt]

I may be a bit of a layman, but it seems Max is faster than Hamilton if they both have good tires. Why didnt he just pit earlier. What am I missing?

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Max is driver of the day for me though Lewis was fantastic as well. Bad call from Red Bull screwed Max in the end.

 

[Yorkeontop]

Mercedes won that for Lewis.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Mercedes won that for Lewis.

Autopilot?

 

[Yorkeontop]

It's perfectly clear now but in the moment Red Bull made a mistake.

 

[Jazz]

Little advice for young Max - never get Lewis motivated..... keep your thoughts to yourself

 

[One Night Only]

What are with these shit photos of the drivers? Lewis pointing to the camera? Cringey AF!

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Mercedes won that for Lewis.

??? no credit for making up 20+ seconds , yes the strategy gave him the chance , but FFS give the man some credit!!

 

[Dargonk]

Redbull missed the window to counter it. Max would have ended up behind Lewis, so they hesitated and in the end made the wrong choice

 

[elmo]

Red Bull fecked up, brilliant by Mercedes on that gamble.

They should have pitted and trusted Max to do his thing but instead they delayed the inevitable and ruined Max's race.

 

[Hephaestus]

Love Hamilton apologising to the strategist for doubting him.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

unlucky Max , you caught Lewis and Merc on a very good day for them.

 

[Buster15]

??? no credit for making up 20+ seconds , yes the strategy gave him the chance , but FFS give the man some credit!!

Just when you think that he cannot get any better then he goes and does that.
Proper racer. Just born to do it.

 

[One Night Only]

Love Hamilton apologising to the strategist for doubting him.

Yeah, not often you see that kind of thing, knew he would apologise. Classy.

 

[One Night Only]

Mercedes won that for Lewis.

Red Bull lost it for Max?

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Red Bull lost it for Max?

Matter of perspective

 

[FC Ronaldo]

Autopilot?

Spoiler

 

[KirkDuyt]

Ah okay, that explains it. Great move by Mercedes then.

 

[Jazz]

Great drive by Lewis. Absolutely hunted Max down. Absolute born racer.

 

[Yorkeontop]

I'll give Lewis 35% credit. Max wins that race as well if the rolls are reserved. Strategy was king today.

 

[justboy68]

Should have just taken the stop and trusted Max to have a good go at overtaking Lewis. Obviously easier to say in hindsight though. Fantastic drive from Hamilton, he was absolutely flying on those hards when he reduced the 10 seconds to 1 within just a couple of laps.

 

[Yorkeontop]

Red Bull lost it for Max?

If he pitted as well we'll never 100% know but they would have been battling it out no doubt.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Not denying that ,no other driver today would have made up so much time in so few laps.
If Red bull had pitted Max straightaway, it might have been a different story.

 

[ZIDANE]

The good thing was that Mercedes had competition today but the track favoured Red Bull and Ferrari were nowhere near so there's clearly still a lot to do for us to see close racing consistently.

 

[Buster15]

What rubbish.

 

[Krits]

Great race in the end. Have to hand it to Merc and Hamilton. They are pretty unbeatable together. That is a team of winners. From the driver to the strategists to the engineers. Ferrari need a top top driver to give them direction to develop the car.

After that drive you have to put Hamilton up with Schumi and Senna in the GOAT list. Not only from just being fast, but you just know that he has helped develop that car in to being so fast like Schumi and Senna used to.

If interviews are to be believed, Vettel isn't that good at car Setup and stuff, which is what might be hampering Ferrari.

 

[Grinner]

Lewis passed the Dutchie on the left hand side.

Drive of a champion.
