Btw read this devastating response evisceraring Wolff and Alison:

True, I don’t disagree with you and didn’t say I condone it. Just said under adrenaline rush it is understandable that they say things they regret, as Seb also defended another driver.

A Team Manager tho […]

i can understand the driver, esp. an emotional one like Hamilton. Equally Niki is known to have short temper and say whatever comes to his mind (like his compatriot Helmut Marko). However, I was pretty […]

Probably after an angry call from a no nonsense Sergio Marcchione.

Indeed, they were wide open for a libel case with zero chance of winning it.

…neither

I am no fan of either Hamilton nor Mercedes (esp. with their habit of emotional reaction after and sometimes even before a loss, be it by throwing the strategist under the bus, or throwing ludicrous accusations at […]

+1

I see you point regarding Vettel and Kimi in Austria that in such a tight season 3 points is a lot. However, Ferrari has had no qualms about switching drivers before.

I personally think that they saw more […]

You are right in saying that McLaren’s escape-goated Honda and this season proves that their problems were beyond just the engine. However, it is undeniable that Honda engine was both underperforming AND r […]

Agreed

Probably true. But as someone else mention above. If Bottas had taken pole I could imagine he could hold off Vettel.

So while no one should get complacent and all teams should improve, I think Toto’s cry for “ […]

I think Toto Wolff is crying err wolf, or if he is sincere he is overreacting. Let’s not forget Ferrari had a new AND improved engine. Still Bottas who is the slower Mercedes driver, esp. in tracks that benefits a […]

Well surely he is managing expectation. Bar anything unusual (accident, car failure or another freak event that puts the race on its head) it is realistically certain he is going to be on podium. The only question […]

Seems it was an exciting race. Unfortunately the only moment I switched I saw that mechanic being ran over and this my favourite driver out, so switched the channel again!

The poor luck that Kimi and that poor […]

Seems it is one of those weekends that Hamilton is unstoppable; guess he will disappear to the distance right after the start.

…doesn’t owe anyone an apology or explanation except to his employer which I am sure they have done (probably since they feel guilty for Baku and Austria they actually had not much choice than to grant his wish)

I don’t like Hamilton one bit, but I just don’t get the outrage of him skipping this event which some even call it a “snub”!

While promotional events are part of the job of the F1 driver, it is up to Hamilton […]

Well Theo thousands of a second less and he would be right (as it would fall under the admissible 0.2 sec). Whether Bottas just perfectly guessed the start or he had a lightning reaction is impossible to prove. So […]

True! Would be stupid if Mercedes. If Ferarros are 2nd and 3rd after the first corner and Bottas tries to back up the pack, they could split strategies by giving say Raikonnen the undercut and Vettel over it or vice versa
