It is not me but what KR allegedly has said in the interview.
Kimi is only hungrier when he eat an ice cream that melts to fast .
Hero's come and go, but legends never die!
Great job to be leading WDC and WCC. Seb was excelent in the first 3 races, if he continues like this it looks promising. Kimi looked faster than Bottas today finishing 2 sec behind but because of him sleeping at the start Bottas's position never looked in danger.
Have you already mentioned or seen that Seb used black gloves in race. Was it case durung weekend or just today?
Any reason for that or maybe to reduce contrast of colors in cockpit.
Yeah, in a race where a ton of cars were wiped out after Ralf's crash at the very start. I'm no Alonso fan but come on, he impressed everyone when he was in a Minardi.
I've not paid much attention to F1 recently but it was great to feel nervous in the closing laps again today, I had forgotten what that felt like. Absolutely love Seb at Ferrari.

Looks to me like Vet stays behind the merc's just long enough to wreck their tires then backs off and waits for the race to come to them. Proactive racing instead of reactive racing. I really don't care about pole position as Ferrari know they can make it up now. Remember when Braun would say okay Micheal we need 25 seconds and he would get on with it. Ferrari for ever
Chuffed!
Trying to be less angry..
Congratulations for the win, it is a great one
I admit, i as many others overreacted by yesterday's lack of pace. Nevertheless, you got to admit that looked scary, being 0.5 seconds behind Merc. However, now i'm 100% sure that Mercedes can be so quick only in qualy. We own race pace, that's for certain.
Glad i was wrong and that it was just an overreaction. I'll know better next time
Can't wait for Russia.
One question though, can Sochi suit Mercedes more because the track doesn't inflict so much tire degradation?
Great job by Seb, we've learned from his Red Bull years that when he gets there in front it's almost impossible to catch him. Absolutely thrilled with the victory, I can't even remember the last time we won twice in three races.
As for Kimi, well, no comment.
I wrote this elsewhere and wondering if you will agree:
"What makes the Honda look so bad is that the Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault engines are at a much higher level of development. Ironically, Honda will now have a level of knowledge and superiority to most other non F1 manufacturers simply for jumping into the fire and pushing themselves beyond their limits with this cutting edge and extremely difficult technology. If all the F1 teams were using Honda engines, then we'd be none the wiser as the engines would be turned down for reliability and they'd still be fast compared to other Formula categories. The Honda engines aren't bad, it's just that the others are currently superior!"
If I may add Stormy to your agreeable statement with your permission; I believe I have said this time and time again but these current Hybrid PU's are so complex and expensive that Honda, with all its resources and money, cannot get it right. Agreed, they came into this with ZERO knowledge when this formula was introduced as the others already were working on it. We are in year 4 already and they are still playing catch-up and part of it also has to do with Honda's "culture" as it clashes with Mclaren's "culture"; I would side with Mclarens "culture" since Honda has been in and out of the game from time to time.....so yes, Honda is sucking right now.
Totally agree. Honda should sack some people and do everything to hire some renowned engineers from the F1 world.
There are some rumors started by Bild that Alonso could make a shock return to Renault for next year. Imagine Honda upping their game by a huge margin and Renault are nowhere, this would be the greatest tragicomedy F1 has ever witnessed.
Read about those so called "rumours" as I feel he should do it(go to Renault). Not only have they approached Alonso about IndyCar but there are rumours that he wants to drive for Porsche at LeMans through his friend Mark Webber (retired from LeMans and they are both best buds).
It would certainly say something about Alonso's karma(Mclaren/Merc,Ferrari,Mclaren/Honda) IF, and thats a big tall IF, Honda turns things around once he leaves.
what? what? what have i missed?
Forza Ferrari
i was not able to join you guys here yesterday because i was glued to the tv watching the race intently. what a win from Vet!
Clearly it's not the end of the season for us as some folks here stated earlier, but one thing is for sure - IT'S THE END OF MERCS DOMINANCE!
