Fair play to Vettel after Ferrari screwed him over last year.
Crazy, crazy race. Delighted for all the podium finishers.
Nah. Apologising is not choking. He takes responsibility for pushing. But those brakes were shot.
Happy Vettel is happy me.
Much needed after last year shitshow.

Seb was brilliant for the second race running now.
Gasly is brilliant. I would say he needs a move to a bigger team, but he has a great car where he is
Why cant they do a Baku doubleheader? Got to wait another year for this level of excitement!
Max was unlucky
Lewis wanted the win , forget what he said on the team radio, he really wanted the win, cooking his brakes, was not bottling it, it was making a mistake , pure and simple.
Just seen the last 2 laps, will have to watch the replay later, its so much more interesting when the usual suspects don't dominate
Hamilton disappearing straight on keeps the championship interesting
Why did Perez just stop at the end? Fuel?
What was up with Bottas? (Not that I mind him being out the way!)

He didn't do well at Red Bull when he was there. But maybe working under Horner didn't agree with him...
Defo worth a step up again.
I just knew he was going to go for it but was hoping he listened to his own words.He can't help himself
I love that about Lewis and Max. Both pure racing drivers.
They should always call them in 3 laps before the end and then do a standing restart for the last 3 laps to finish it off.
Unless Max leaves, there's no bigger team available seeing how Ferrari and Mercedes supposedly have their planned their future planned out.
It’s good for the championship, Mercedes will get on top of their issues sooner or later and then it’s a straight fight.
Hamilton must have cooked his brakes on the formation lap, it was an unforced error though and completes an absolute shit show of a weekend for them.

I think they mentioned it was something to do with his wheels
feck, damn lewis. Credit for having the balls to go for it with overheating brakes. But thats what WC's do. If he had pulled that off.....
Bloody overheating brakes.
Glad for Perez and Vettel.

So actually Lewis got a setting wrong and that was what fecked his brakes up.
Max bottled it. Bottle merchants the lot of them.
Agreed.
My feelings as well. As you say, the brakes may have let him down.
Interesting radio from Hamilton. Seems like he knocked a switch by accident at the restart.
Looks that way, simple mistake.
Well you'd normally think Renault is a bigger seat than Red Bulls second team, but they probably have a worse car (consistently)
Wonder what odds you could get after the red flag that Bottas would finish ahead of Hamilton
Obviously Hamilton will be gutted, but he was two laps from being 15 points behind.
Absolutely.
I bet Mercedes move the brake magic button.
Great to see Perez and Vettel up there.
Vettel looks a happier and more relaxed guy in the Aston Martin this year. Could it be the pressure at Ferrari was getting too much for him?
Lewis nav wasn't working ??
Watching that replay makes it worse, arrgghhhh. 15 points dropped. Now i wish the race finished under the saftey car.
Wum.Whilst I'm still gutted for Max, that was a very enjoyable race, especially compared to Monaco.
Mazepin and Bottas will party for a week after finishing ahead of Lewis.

He didn't get along with Binotto and it was clear that Ferrari were looking to move on with Leclerc.
Seems that way
So much salt in this thread today.. Pretty likely it will only get worse as the season goes along as well unfortunately.
He probably would take the Renault seat if offered it, not sure why they'll rather get an aging Alonso on their team, he's clearly not there long term.
So, clearly he had outlived his stay at Ferrari then. Nice to see him looking happier this year. Still a decent driver.
