DRS off lapping someone is a bit of a dodgy rule

Damnit f*cking hell what an incredible race..
Redbull won the battle of strategies today. Well played.
Yeap can't argue with this.
This is a results business, if Lewis had won they'd have been lauded, he didn't so they have to accept it was a mistake.
How is it the slower car?
Max just too fast
I think Lewis waited too long to unleash the tyres, he should have just gone for it and put pressure on. Gifted the win again on strategy, but Max always gets the job done.
This title race might be over post Mexico.

Top stuff boys
is someone trying to claim Max won because of the Haas thereIn fairness it compensates for the time he lost following Mick for a few corners.
Cracking race that.
Gutted Lewis couldn't catch him.
Thoroughly depressed with sport today.
Faster car, poorer strategy.
If it wasnt for traffic holding Max up and costing him 3/4 seconds Lewis wouldn't have got near the chance to get him.
My thoughts exactly. Needed this to end the day on a positive!
I think you misunderstand the point of a forum discussion mate.
Ultimately, Mercedes didn't win the race because of that first undercut catching them out.
Brilliant race.
I feel drained from watching that. God knows how the drivers must feel
Lewis had the same traffic, no?
How Max could pull this off driving in front of a hunting Lewis with more fresh tires without making mistakes is showing he is not only a great driver skill wise, but he also has the mentality to become a World Champion.
He never lost anywhere near the same amount of time, fact.
Yeap also a fair point.
I honestly don't understand how max has so many fans appearing recently, maybe its just people don't want lewis to win any more so just cling to anyone else?
Good race. Exactly what we want to see, the two best giving an excellent drive. So tight in the end there and any small margin could have taken it either way. Distracted me from the pain of the match earlier.
Could be a huge result for the Championship. A few more of those in the rest of the season please.

Mercedes have genuinely been second best strategy wise race after race
I guess. But that DRS I think was enough to stop Lewis getting a crack at overtaking.
Actually Lewis went past that group twice because of his pit stop...
Was a nice race. Red Bull on the better strategy yet again. Max making those tires last was impressive too.
Sorry?
Great drive by Max, in the faster car. But the strategy won Red Bull that race.
Going to be an exciting last 5 races.
Glad I was completely wrong when I thought Lewis would coast it this year. Makes it very exciting.
Hope it goes to the final race.
Traffic held up Max but Lewis also lost 2s early on behind the VSC/Giovanazzi. It was an enthralling race which once again came down to the Merc struggling in dirty air. I don’t think Lewis would’ve got past even if the Hass wasn’t there.
Very good drive from Max. Huge favourite for the title now

Just feels like it’s going to be won by someone getting a DNF.
Round this track the RB is clearly the faster and better car. RB pace in practice, qualifying and the actual race proved all that.
A lot of it is that I think, someone is finally challenging the all dominant force. Vettel was largely hated during his dominant phase, I like him now.
I don’t like Max and I don’t think I ever will but he’s quick as feck and says what he thinks, he will gain fan base (much like Kimi did) from that alone. Any driver from Red Bull would have to go a long way for me to support them, I dislike them more than anything.
Max is just relentless. I can’t think of a time he’s made a mistake when under pressure this year. He’s got a long career ahead to be able to match Hamilton and the greats but fair play to him, he’s been really incredible this year.
I want Lewis to win but you can't argue Max's capabilities. Definitely multi world champ.
Yeh pincer movement by RB that Mercedes have done often to others. Lewis could have gone longer on first set of tyres if it wasnt for Perez putting. Mercs had to cover that off.
Mercs lost some pace today as they had to raise the ride height of the car as it was bottoming out too much in practise and the risk of DNF was too great.
We really need lewis to win a GP to keep it close but I think it might be over after next two gp. Mexico and brasil both tracks that favour the RB over the Mercedes.
Max deserves the championship this season, best car on the grid. However I really want it to go to last GP of the year.
Pretty much sums up my feelings also.
Add Horner in to that, he is such an unlikeable person.
Also agree about Seb.

Monza says hi.
100% multi WC winner.
