Lewis is a little bitch

fify

Nicely done by Lewis. Also well done by Alonso. That fight kept Lewis from 2 or 1.

Alonso probably kept Hamilton from winning this by keeping him behind for all those laps

So, anyone happen to take Ocon at 300-1 odds or Seb at 250-1?

Yep, he’s so good at defending. He pushes it right to the limit, just like Lewis does.

At this point someone needs to put him into a wall so he'll actually have something to whine about. 

LOL Gasly got fastest lap. Fuck you Lewis!

Alonso saved that race for Ocon. Lewis from last to 3rd was awesome. Lewis and Merc back on top, so all is right with the world.

Fucking Bottas ruined everything.

i do love when a driver from a mid or bottom tier team gets on the podium or, by hook or crook, somehow wins the damn race.  reminds me of Gasly winning Italy last year.  so happy for Ocon.

and every week, us newbies learn more and more about the race strategies that play such a huge role.  that stuff doesn't come out as much on the Netflix show, which is more about personalities and drama.  today was just a great example of how the decisions made on the pit wall can dictate the results as much as the drivers' abilities.

now i'm kinda pissed i didn't start watching F1 until last year.

Fuck yeah Fernando. That defending was the highlight of the race for me. 

Seeing the joy of a guy getting his first win it's awesome too.

Its more team strategy and engineering than driver. 
One of the irksome element of this is driver asking for “more power” over the radio. Like, if F1 is really about engineering to the limits, then let the driver have the discretion of reliability v performance. It shouldnt be the nerds on the pit permitting them to have more boost pressure or fuel flow or w/e

Mildly surprised Toto didn’t pop on Bottas’s radio with a “well done, Valtteri.”

 

I mean I'm somewhat serious. Perez needs to be looking for an opportunity to just ride Hamilton through turn one during future race starts. What's the downside? A 5 place grid penalty the following race? Big deal.

Good for Ocon; out of F1 and now a race winner. Also I was impressed George, when Latifi was running P6, told the team to compromise his race to support Latifi; he seems a genuinely good kid who’d do really well in a top drive. Probably also a good time to remind Toto that he’s willing to play the team game, with silly season starting.

I don't understand how Bottas didn't get a major penalty. It obviously wasn't intentional, but a completely boneheaded mistake took out 5 of the most popular drivers in the sport on turn 1. Seems like something F1 would want to have a strong reaction to.

I've said since last year that he should be in the Mercedes. Bottas, even though he did a great job today and will be amply rewarded by the folks in Stuttgart, should not be in that seat. We all saw what Russell could do in Hamilton's car last season.

Can someone explain this one to me?

Was there something nefarious or was it because he ran out of gas?

We could know something about that 2nd Mercedes seat soon as the summer break is peak silly season.

Apparently you must provide 1.0L sample if requested; AM could only get 0.3L out of the car. 

“Under the technical regulations, competitors must ensure that a 1.0 litre sample of fuel may be taken from the car at any time during the event – however it was only possible to take 0.3 litres from Vettel’s Aston Martin after Sunday’s race.”

Mercedes has wrecked their way to the Championship and Contstructor leads and Vettel loses a 2nd place finish because he ran out of gas.  Seems fair.

I wonder how they got a liter from Ocon since he ran out of gas on his victory lap. 

42 points he's gained if my math is right

I wonder how they got a liter from Ocon since he ran out of gas on his victory lap. 

He didn’t run out, he just stopped down there cause he forgot to drive into the pit lane.

Damn that was entertaining.  Bumper cars.  An epic Mercedes fuck up leaves us with a standing start of 1 car on the grid.  Mercedes then outmaneuvers Red Bull.  Vettel dq'd.  Really FIA?  Ocon holds off Vettel for the entire race.  Alonso with the best defending I've seen in years.  That was fun.

Disregard. That was an old tweet.

Should have checked the time stamps.

Today. 

Him bumping tires with Schumacher wasn't even looked at by the stewards.

Me too. That was a perfect pick up of a 7-10 split.

Nor was when Alonso came down on Hamilton which was a little out of bounds.  But, props to Alonso, he did a great job.  In the end, great racing today and we all got to witness some serious race craft.
