BOT : The latest !

•To be honest I don't know exactly what went wrong at the pit stop, whether it was a human error or a technical problem !
Or maybe something else ...

As a Mercedes fan, my expectations for the race were low, but holy ****.

The Russell boy knows it as well . But he can't speak regarding his future Merc seat !

From what I see Russ and hammy throw daggers at each other when away from the F1 media, hammy wants to hold onto seat and Russ getting sick of being used as pawn waiting.

Let me guess..driveshaft?

Do you guys think it was worth Ferrari risking starting LEC from pole rather than from 6th, considering they still would have got good points from the race from 6th and they were 5 points behind McLaren before this race and the prize money between 3rd and 4th is quire significant.

EdM5 · 05-23-2021, 11:28 AM

Did anyone notice Leclerc being at the finish line cheering with the team for Sainz? That was a moment of pure class. Even as he must be devastated he still had the strength to do this.
Respect.

It might have been HAM on the phone telling a minion to do something if they wanted to keep their job....Just saying

BOT behind Norris now and Merc said the wheel nut on BOT's car 'machined' itself into the hub.

Might not be worth it in the end but it's what I asked for. I wanted an LEC win.

He's overpaid big time but having that power is a magic mode too far

Happened to Max at Imola but they just started Lecs car and it happened before he hardly moved...

A big congratulations to Max on a championship level drive. Fast, controlled and calm. He didn't put a foot wrong today.

Congratulations to Checo as well! He is showing that he was the right choice.

Congratulations to the team for leading the WCC on merit. Great job!

Poor Bottas. We all willed it to happen to Mercedes, but preferably Lewis instead. Bottas is deserving of a much better outcome than he suffered today. There's no eta a tech wouldn't have known the wheel didn't go on correctly before the race started and have the chance to fix it. No way...

Enjoyed the race. Sainz and Lando did terrific.

Max is a class act.

Observational analysis for a driver’s walk to the car.

Four drivers with Four different approaches.

Lando: travels light, drink bottle in hand at leisurely pace with assistant (no backpack).

Vettel: travels moderate, assistant carries drink bottle and small backpack. Pace moderate, not quite the speed of the early 2000s.

Max V: no frills, no drink bottle, no assistant. Purposeful pace that continues to accelerate out of the frame.

Hammy: travels heavy, assistant attempts to keep pace with 40kg bag on her back, she drops items on the ground as the gap increases. Pace cannot be determined due to use of party-mode Scooter.
