Plot twist: if max and lewis carries on bottas can win the championship.

Actually everything happened in that few laps when ric pitted. Max and lewis slow stop and then crashing, bottas recovered some places after that so did perez. Mclarens filtering into their 1-2 positions. […]

Perfect race. It had everything. Fight for the lead, mclaren 1-2, max and lewis crashing, bottas last to podium, overtakes everywhere.

Cant defend or pass so they crash

Luck is one thing but this was just poor performance. poor start and cant beat a mclaren on an easy to overtake track. With bottas released from his contract lewis is going to struggle to beat him from now.

Had perez not gotten thru q2 max wld be left without a tow for q3.

Oops meant to comment on a new thread

Imagine next season merc messed up and end up losing to a faster williams.

Yeah he was 10 seconds behind even with one less pitstop. When bottas was sacrificed for lewis it was always when he was going to lose anyway. Only once it was clear that he has to move over for lewis that is 2018 russia.

ham alo and ric got to go. its a new era.

Latifi

To be fair to max this is his only year with a championship winning car. Lewis has one every year save 09 and 13. Alonso meanwhile almost won the championship with a non championship winning car.

@dmw lol ok let me be more precise. If 2 drivers have similar talent, the 23 year old will be faster.

@ivan-vinitskyy it is a given that a 23 year old is faster than a 37 year old.

Come on just put russel in that merc already and give max some challenge.

Max didn’t have drs in the last sector

To be on pole when your teammate is out of q1 is just GOAT

Its very hard to justify slightly upgraded

This actually benefited lewis instead of max. If full points were given in an actual race max wld definitely win anyway. That wld mean at least 7 points cut into the points lead. However it was only 5 today.

Had norris not crashed it could have been his win
