Hope the drama is the same for the next weekend.

Yeah I thought you were only allowed to drive back to the pits on three wheels, not complete a new lap? Needs a time penalty of 10 seconds for crossing the finish line in an unsafe condition to be demoted the pit stop time so Max wins. I think that should be automatic if a driver crosses the line in dangerous equipment.
Since Greig loves safety so much, I'm sure he agrees
LOL.
IF Lewis had that puncture 20 seconds earlier Verstappen would not have pitted. This was the most lucky thing EVER to happen in Formula 1, except for Glock going off track at the last corner in 2008.
And Bottas lost EVERYTHING because he got the puncture at the wrong place of the track, so he had to limp for so long. Unreal luck for Hamilton.

GREAT JOB BY CHARLES.
It's not how start but how you finish.
Yup.
Lately Vettel is getting pretty chummy with the media. It's only a matter of time until he says something like "Ferrari not giving me the equal car as Charles" or something like that.
I think Binotto needs to rein in, because Vettel is still under Ferrari contract. Otherwise he would say something stupid, and Ferrari would get lots of bad PR's.
There's no denying that Vettel was a great champion, at least nearly the same level as Hammy, but now he just reminds me of Jorge Lorenzo at Honda or the Jimmie Johnson of the past few years in NASCAR. Sometimes, champions collapse a lot harder than others. Bar being given a Mercedes, I don't think Vettel would have any prospects of rejuvinating himself. Max would destroy him now, whereas in 2017-2018 they'd be too close to call.
Vettel to Sky Germany: "I didn't feel comfortable at all. There must be something. Can't be that we made a step back overnight."
And it has already started. Now Herr Vettel is implying that evil Ferrari is doing "something" to his car.
Come on Binotto, grow some cojones and kick this useless German out of the team and bring in Sainz Jr early. And Mclaren can bring Ricciardo early and Renault get's Alonso this year. Everyone wins.
Leclerc deserves all the support we can give him! He delivers! FORZA CHARLES!!! FORZA FERRARI!!!
Good result for Charles. Funny seeing the Mercs both suffer delaminations. Sure Fuher Wolff will make sure it doesn't happen again.
Next week softer tyres and 10 degrees hotter.....Merc will arrange that only the hard tyre can be used at 40psi and all teams must pit on lap 20 and 40.
It wasn’t mechanical damage, it was just a flat tyre that wasn’t shedding debris. If it was shedding debris then he’d have to pull over. I can maybe recall one instance of a damaged car being limped home that was black-flagged or given a penalty.
Like I have said before I do not rate Hamilton put him in another car that sook. Charles would wipe the floor with that guy in the same team.The best f1 driver on the grid currently is Charles fast good looks has it all.FIA will dump Hamilton f1 has it's poster boy, and he needs no chains around his neck.
Well, let's say Charles was leading and had a puncture and Hamilton was in second 5s adrift. Anyone believing Charles would've escaped not pulling into the pits without a penalty must be smoking some really funny stuff
Again, not an issue. Have a read yourself, page 36. I can’t find a section for it. The race director could have black-flagged him if it wasn’t the last lap, but it was.

A quick google suggests that this has precedence with Fittipaldi in ‘72.
It was luck, and not merit Tinkerbell. How far back was Charles at the 40 lap mark despite two safety cars? He was basically leading the midfield. If not for the safety cars Charles would have been a full minute behind at the line.
Stop pretending like this result is indicative of performance. Are you really that simple?
