If Lando can hold Lewis off he deserves driver of the day
F1 2023 Season

Looks like McLaren got the strategy right after all.
Hold him off? He's driving away from him. Pretty easily too.
Come on Piastri, get that 3rd from Hamilton
If tw@tty gets a puncture we could get a 1-2-3 all English podium 
sort of 
sort of Stroll feck off entitled prick

And Piastri just disappears?
TV coverage is dreadful far worse than normal
Come on Piastri get 3rd
I'll repeat it again, Ferrari are 2nd - 3rd best car on average in qualifying, but when it comes to race they are not better than 5th car. Possibly even 6th on some tracks. Slow as feck, and terrible on tyre management.
McLaren is bonkers. Not only keeping Merc at bay with DRS but on hards and creating a gap? Wtf
Ferrari really are a joke.
If Lando get's a penalty after last week....
McLaren
Ferrari

Black and white flags being shown to a few drivers
Don't get a penalty Lando
Placing bets on Max doing a victory lap with the Dutch flag to take the piss out of the crowd and Lewis?
Stroll
My predictions fecked up. Had both Alpines in top 10 and no McLaren in top 10.
2nd time they've shown that woman.
Who cares?
Who cares?
It was great how they baited with the virtual safety car and then released a real safety car after so many went in the pits. I think they tried to to lure Verstappen in but didn't succeed.
My god Ferrari are shit.

Florence Pugh? They often show the person who will wave the chequered flag.
That's why I appreciate Max' time. Less celebrity bs.
Ferrari 9th and 10th, how do they fall apart so badly on a Sunday?
Gutted for Piastri, a double podium for McLaren would have been a dream. Came down to that safety car.
feck me this is boring.
5th win 11 on the bounce for RB

Their tyre deg constantly costs them. They needed to pit earlier today, then had to bring on hards, then couldn’t take advantage of the SC. If I were them I’d have been tempted by soft soft medium.
MAX MAX MAX SUPER MAX
In my opinion it's even worse than that. Why risk something in a corner if you can just coast past on a straight. I hate DRS. Imagine Verstappen having to get past Lando today... he would have made it before the safety car but it would have been a show getting there. Ironically I think it's even unfair on Max (despite RB's DRS being in a different league) in some respect, he would be making unforgettable overtakes in that car I'm pretty sure if it wasn't there.
The difference between McLaren's joy and RB just being pleased at yet another win
Norris driver of the day, well deserved
Good race in the end.
Hamilton got the luck with that Saftey car and similarly Piastri got really unlucky. He deserved that podium but that's racing. A lot of luck involved some weekends.

First race I've watched in a while. The improvement of the papaya is impressive. Albon doing some black magic in that Williams shitbox. Deserves to drive for a better team. But what's most impressive is the regression of Ferrari. The state of that team is absolutely shocking.
Oh yeah, and Max wins.
Oh yeah, and Max wins.
If Red Bull didn't have DRS it would be a lot more interesting. Daft how easy it is for them with that.
Lando bit cringe on the radio as usual though
Brilliant actor.
Verstappen knows a thing or two about cheating as well.
The whole grid in shock at the McLarens
Overall a dull race for the most part, bar Norris holding Hamilton off. Shame Piastri couldn't get on the podium, unlucky with the safety car timing
