I see Lewis is now replying to a lot of the other drivers Insta posts.

 

I like him a lot more when is being lekker and not telling Bono he has no tyres left while setting fastest laps.

 

Anything interesting or just general stuff ?

Just in general, when Lando messed up quali, he left a comment saying, dont worry, mistakes happen, its the race that counts.

 

When George posted the apology Toto told him to post Lewis commented, if you not making moves you no longer a racing driver, keep it up.

 

Small gestures, nothing earth shattering, just nice to see.

Lando is also very, what's the best wording, aggressive/competitive with Max Verstappen. When asked about Max spin before the restart, he said Charles was soft and should have taken the place from Max and why did he wait. 

 

(Charles on the other hand had no team radio and thought that it was a normal restart not rolling one and when saw Max disappear and Lando come past he knew something was up)

 

I LOVED that he said that in the post race drivers conference! We just need MCL to get closer to RBR in terms of car performance and we'll see Lando taking it to Max proper. He won't be intimidated by Max like some other drivers possibly are.

Will be interesting to see, Mclaren in season performance increase has been average at best, where RBR are great at it. 

 

I think with Mercedes and RBR at each other there is a chance of a Lando win this year.

Anyone else hear the radio conversation somewhere near the end of the race? I can't remember if it was with Max or Lando or who but they were complaining that the car was loosing power out the corners. The team came back and said you keep knocking the clutch paddle. I had a good laugh at that.

Was hilarious, 

 

LN: I HAVE CLUTCH SLIP BUT ONLY ON CERTAIN CORNERS

 

E: Then stop pressing the clutch Lando with your left hand.

Do you know what their gloves do? Our hero saffa safety car driver and the Dr he drives around have created a biometric glove and now all the drivers wear them.

So the FIA twitter feed always post radio snippets after each race and I love watching them. One of the best from this weekend was Kimi(his are almost always gold). He was directly behind the Russel/Bottas crash. In his very calm iceman way he vaguely tells the team he has debris in the vents and brakes. The team come back and say we see that and there was a crash where he may have picked it up. He responded something along the lines of yes I was right behind the 2 ******* ******** I picked up all their ****** from their ******** crash. There is ****** ****** all over the *****place. 

Kimi always has the best radio snippets.

I'm willing to pay for a version of the internet that doesn't have Ralf Schumacher or Helmut Marko's opinion on everybody and everything if there are any bored developers out there.
