Formula 1...

possible yes but I doubt they're that desperate for A win ... I really hope 

 

Vettel definitely had grounds to be furious but it looks like max stepped up and apologized like gentleman should

 

Max didn't step up at the time, saying Vettel locked. After the race though he manned up. Marquez could really learn a thing or two from that

Plus, this was one incident vs the 4 on race day for Marquez (incl grid debacle)

Only 2 racing incidents, Espargaro and Rossi.

The start line was more a race direction cock-up, even Dorna has conceded to that.

2 on TV, but there were 4 according to other riders.

redbull .... yaaa :/

70/30 Max's fault. Can't move under breaking like that.

Time to put Carlos in the car and let Max cool down a bit

For some reason I can’t stand MVS so in my book he goes down as being “die poep in die drinkwater” in this case.

I didn't watch the race, but just saw the results. Only 5 cars didn't get lapped???

[Steven Knoetze (sk27)]

so who thinks the pit stop under safety car was dumb ?

 

I do

 

He had to do it though, the "special Merc tyres" wouldn't have lasted till the end. The Ferrari has suddenly become unkind to their tyres, go figure.........

I quite enjoyed the race.

Yes the cars this year are terrible in that they are really not condusive to overtaking but I can still appreciate a performance like Vettels.

Hamilton really out of sorts though.......

[Odinson]

 

Ditto. 

 

I used to love F1 a couple of years ago, but recently it's turned into a goddam snoozefest. It's just so difficult to get excited for a race. There's hardly ever any action at the front of the field, just the midpack drivers rallying for some points.

Maybe the should make the hypersoft the hardest compound. Running ultrasoft for more than 50 laps makes the whole tyre compound a farce.

They need to have bigger performance differences between the tyres. 50 laps isn't the problem, as the pace is slow, but then the softer option should be at least 2secs a lap quicker and last say 20 or 30 laps.

The strategies are just too "safe".

This might end up in tears

Let's see. Will be interesting to see what happens with their Aston deal. Also with Aston threatening to enter the game in 2021 there could be another change.

 

I hope it works out for them - I'd love to see Ric a WDC and it's great having 3 teams fighting for wins

Agreed. And the compounds should almost guarantee two stops. 1 Stopping leaves little room for killer alternative strategy. Not enough variation. May as well give them all one compound to run that will last half a race distance.
