   Bottas’ racepace was absolutely dreadful. He lost half a second per lap on average after Hamilton overtook him.

   this race demonstrated DRS at its absolute, race ruining worst.
   We actually GOT our upset to shake things up, but thanks to DRS it was just the faster cars coming through without any resistance to take their “rightful” place. Why exactly does f1 think “shaking up the order” was the issue?

      I agree that DRS was too powerful…. but it wasn’t without ANY skill…. they did have to get within 1 second first.

      I was impressed by how quickly Hamilton closed in on Bottas. He erased the 1.5 second gap…. in a lap! Grabbed DRS once to close in and a second time to pass. Impressive!

         Bottas tyres were gone and Lewis saved his so the different performance was enough to close and pass Bottas.

            @macleod preserving optimal tyre conditions while outpacing and eventually overtaking your opponent on the track does takes absolute skill and precision, doesn’t it?

               That had nothing to with Lewis overtake, Lewis would overtake Bottas anyway with or without DRS.
               Bottas his setup was so his tyres needed less to warmup (Lewis said this) That is why he overtake Lewis when it was wet he had just more grip then Lewis.
               It was interesting what Lewis said that his setup took a while dialing in this setup.

               Lewis has enough skill for that the only thing what he had to do was to be calm when he was passed by Sainz and Bottas.

   Dismal race for Albon. Nowhere near it from start to finish. I think he’s a decent driver, and if he was to go back to AT then he might be able to recover form – I’m sure Gasly will be able to help him with some of the mental side of things. But there’s no way any team on the grid could accept a driver underperforming the car and his teammate to the extent he has been. Red Bull certainly won’t.
   I thought he started the season okay, and maybe if he hadn’t had the contacts with Hamilton he could have built the confidence to launch a stronger second half of the season; but he did, he hasn’t, and right now I’d imagine retaining any seat at all in F1 would be a victory of sorts.

      Albon and stroll are going no where.
      Thai connections strong and lance owns that team.

      @Rott Irrelevant as the Red Bull teams are solely about performance on the track, not exterior stuff – otherwise, he would’ve been in the senior team right from the beginning of 2019 or would’ve never been dropped from the program pre-F1. Red Bull will demote him to AT or let him go altogether if they wish to do so.

         well, I wonder if that’s true…
         I am surprised Red Bull is so tolerant with Albon, too tolerant, there is another agenda… and I think it has to do with his nationality

   The lap-by-lap lap chart doesn’t really do justice to the epic 1st lap we saw at Portugal. Slippery conditions, contacts, epic driving by Kimi and Sainz, it had every thing! Just for that 1 lap, if we get turn by turn positions, it would be great!!

   @sumedh Unfortunately, lap charts only show positions at the end of each lap. I’ve never found any that would so precisely turn-by-turn.

   Looks like Bottas had a lucky break that Max started on softs.

   Do you know if there is a record for the number of fastest laps set by a racing driver in a single gp? For example how many fastest laps did Hamilton set during the portuguese gp? I am interested in comparing this to other historical races where a certain racing driver has set numerous fastest laps in a single gp, but from what I can tell im not sure if this data exsits
