Re: Formula1 2019
Nevermind Vettel goes 1st off start, Bottas second.
Robottas malfunctions and now 4th, the Italian cheats now 1,2 in the order they want.

Re: Formula1 2019
Vettel ****'s up when challenged by Hamilton, man is a fraud.
Edit seems his front wing failed as well. Shame

Re: Formula1 2019
Lewis leads, the MGUH gone in the other red car.
Merc 1,2 in the end.

Re: Formula1 2019
Obviously very unlucky for Leclec. Once again great sportsmanship from Lewis, not that his haters will ever acknowledge that.
Vettel? Like a replay of Monza. Lewis is in his brain. He is no racer is he? Fast, but can't go wheel to wheel. Hamilton knows he just has to put his car alongside and wait for the brainfart when the German's tash falls off.
Great race.

Gutted for LeClerc - deserved the win so much! Was a very good race though with some great battles in the midfield - if they can keep delivering races like that I will be more than happy

Re: Formula1 2019
Big call for Ferrari ... they have a car that can challenge but they have a No 1 driver who fast as he is can't beat Hamilton in a head-to-head ... it's been shown time after time that Lewis is the better raced, Vettel's head just seems to explode when it's mano a mano.mjustincredible wrote:Gutted for LeClerc - deserved the win so much!

So do Ferrari give LeClerc, a raw unproven talent, the number one status, or stick with Vettel, or do they sit on the fence for half a season and watch Mercedes better team strategy win yet another title?

Re: Formula1 2019
Great race.
Shame for Leclerc, but no doubt he'll get his first win soon enough.
Special mention for Norris too, not frightened to mix it up in the midfield battle.
These young lads are a breath of fresh air to the sport.

China has the potential to be a "great" race, it usually is good, but with everything already mentioned it could be even better.

Re: Formula1 2019
No chance of that happening. LeClerc did everything right over the weekend but was just undone by pure bad luck, if happens to the best drivers. I agree that Hamilton's post match words to LeClerc were classy - Hamilton's had his share of bad luck so knows what he French driver felt like.IronworksDave wrote:

Could be an interesting season ahead, LeClerc could usurp Verstappen as the next big thing.
However, Mercedes remain the team to beat - they generally get better throughout the season and will not give up the titles they hold easily.

Re: Formula1 2019
I keep hearing 'unlucky for Leclerc', but he let slip something after the race which I haven't seen picked up elsewhere, namely that he was worried about running out of fuel before the power failure. I wonder where he would have finished had he driven to ensure he had sufficient fuel left to satisfy the post race inspections?

Re: Formula1 2019
good to see Esteban Ocondoing the grid walk, should be in one of the cars though not walking, whilst someone like perez still has a seat , i know thats a money thing for perez but surely the best drivers should be there and Esteban is one of them
anyhow hoping for a merc 1 > 2, and a full house for Valtteri

Re: Formula1 2019
Easy for the Mercs with Lewis winning at the start. Leclerc thrown under a bus to protect Vettel's reputation.
Great from Albon to claim a point from the pits.

Re: Formula1 2019
Pretty dull viewing this morning, not a lot even in midfield or the back
Only thing of note was Albon as already mentioned but today was sadly below par entertainment for F1

Re: Formula1 2019
Was expecting more from this race, so more than a little dull.
Ferrari have to sort their **** out don't they!?!? I hope so, or this could be the easiest year for the Mercs.
If you are Hamilton, do you want an easy season, or do you want to be fighting tooth and nail every race?

Re: Formula1 2019
Hamilton is a racer. I honestly believe he loves a fight and wouldprefer a close championship rather than a walk over.
You only have to watch the post Bahrain interview to see how much he loved taking Vettel round the outside.
