Next weekend needs some rain, I can’t watch 71 laps more of this.
Bottas sounded unhappy there.
Looks like no rain, Jesus not worth watching this procession for 2 weeks in a row.
The team is just so important. Lando got his shot at McLaren and looks like a future superstar.
Poor George was even better in f2 and has been stranded at shitty Williams ever since. Every time he looks like achieving something the team or car lets him down... Including his race at Mercedes

Last week was a good race imo
I said it a few weeks ago. RB just look so dominant in all aspects this year. Car looks superior, strategy looks superior, driving lineup looks superior.
Lewis is still #1 for me, but Max is ridiculous and Perez is far better than Bottas

Yeah, apart from Mercedes terrible strategy. I meant two weeks at this track. Next week will be the same yawn fest if it doesn't rain.
Man of unknown age yells at cloud.
That's a fair comment. Though Lando's been in the same car for 3 years and Ric struggled his first year at Renault too after leaving Red Bull to chase the money
Worse gp of the year other than monaco. Cant believe we are back here again next weekend on the same bloody layout.
If your gonna do a double header at same venue at least have a different layout for the following weekend ala bahrain which was awesome. If it doesnt rain next weekend its gonna be another snooze fest. Just need the RB to be abit slower so we can get some close wheel to wheel action between lewis and max.

Interesting move to bring Perez in now. Shame they cocked up his first stop
Interesting Merc radio chat . "What does it mean?"
In a way, why wouldn't you bring Hamilton in for a second stop? He would come out only behind Bottas who would let him through, it lets him get the fastest lap and would give him a chance to chase Verstappen down on new tyres.
Gap between 3rd and 4th is certainly closing. But it's a huge gap to close
Bottas is in traffic too. Its doable.
Because if he pits Max will just pit too. Hamilton may as well pit on lap 69 if he wants to do fastest lap else Red Bull will just respond .
Red Bull were always going to be mega here, the hope is Merc can be closer moving forward and we get the battles we have been getting.
I think it’s because they don’t have any new tires left
Shows how boringly dominance Mercury have been- first year since 2014 they've gone 4 races without a win.
Why no rain?! Teasing us by hinting at rain yet the sun remains

The fact he is shit will also be a factor
True, Verstappen could respond. He would be close to Bottas though if he had a slow stop which Hamilton wouldn't have to worry about
Bit of rain might liven this up.
Im so bored. Mercedes have turned down lewis engine. If they havent they should have done it after lap3.
Merc strategy was poor too.
What a turnaround this season. Both Red Bull are absolutely flying and despite Lewis Hamilton very best efforts, he can do little about it. Rain excluded.
Then do something more interesting.
Come on, rain! Max is nearly so far ahead they could bring him in and stick wet tyres on in case, same for Lewis
If Merc and Hamilton hadn't had an absurd car advantage in previous years, Max would probably already be a world champion. But its starting to look like this really could be his year
I pay for my sky f1, need to get my moneys worth
Bet it rains the minute the race ends
That is fair. But remember what Russell did in his first race for Mercedes and in a car specific to Lewis Hamilton.
Honda have built an engine that is beating Merc week after week. Mad that they are pulling out at the end of the year and allowing Red Bull to stick a VW badge or something on it.
If Russell tried a stop like that on the last lap his nose would fall off
Don't think Perez will quite reel in Bottas
Good effort though. What was the gap, 18 seconds?
Looks like Hamilton will take the fastest lap
My apology. Shouldn't have said that.
Despair for Mercedes. Going for the extra point.
Well done Max! What a driver. Pity Perez didn't get Bottas there.
