Indeed. He now has most combined poles/wins in F1 history.

Baku was the exception to rule where Pole sitter managed to win the race. That was a brilliant start and what scored the win for Hamilton.

The story of the season isn’t Mercedes vs Ferrari, its now Hamilton vs Bottas.
This is the second race where the track layout actually favored the second place driver.
Anyone whose driven the simulations of this track will know how important the first and third corners are.
Yes Hamilton got a great start, but even if Bottas had equalled that start, Bottas would have had to have
given way at the first corner.
After the start Hamiltion made sure Bottas didn’t have DRS on him. 10 seconds a head at one stage.
The real surprise was the poor start decisions by Vettel.
Driving around the outside of Bottas? What was he thinking?

Got to hand it Lewis… his starts are looking a whole lot better than Valterri’s starts this season. I just hope Bottas doesn’t get too discouraged after weekends like China and Barcelona, where he’s looked convincingly better than Lewis on Saturdays, but just been beaten on the first lap of the race.
I thought Max drove brilliantly all weekend. He came within a tenth of Ferrari in qualifying.. and kept a cool head on the opening two corners before pulling a mega overtake on the outside of Vettel. Max definitely gets my voted for DOTW. It’s a real shame he isn’t driving for Ferrari this season… the fans would have had a much more exciting championship battle.
Kvyat, Magnussen and Sainz were pretty exciting to watch this Sunday as well. Got to feel a little gutted for Grosjean who was brilliant all the way to the safety car period… but then just blew it.
Ferrari’s confusion is a class act.

Boring season so far but the Dark horse is Honda. Good job Honda. 👏

New rules:
-Mercedes pulled further in front of the
rest of the field
– Did not really help with overtaking
Should have left it alone until 2021

Ferrari should stop racing, enough of heartbreaks for Ferrari fans over the last few years, we can’t take it any more!!
Vettel’s mistakes, Ferrari’s goof-up on strategies, enough….
Being a Ferrari fan, every race you pray that Lewis doesn’t win, but he does exactly that!

Maybe you should change your prayers. Pray that Seb wins rather than praying for Lewis. haha
