Oof, this race is so boring. Not only is McLaren getting f****, but nothing is happening elsewhere as well.
It usually happens at Mclaren :D

Let's see where Lando finishes. He seemed to pick up the pace.

Fine margins. Inches away from being a hero. It is what it is, P3 isn't the be-all end-all some are making it out to be.

Vettel is too far ahead, maybe Kimi too. Alonso will be easy.
Are you sure about Alonso? They have the same pace

I dont understand why Merc didnt move to one side with their cars to cut off verstappen from overtaking. Such an easy thing to do. None of this would have happened had they done that.

Even the clear air pace from NOR on fresh tyres is woeful. People get fixated about that 3rd place. I don’t care much at all about it. Plus the car has a few big weaknesses to really justify that position. Nice as it is but I just don’t care

I am completely befuddled on how this car can be 1s faster than another in qualifying but be just as fast as it on the race (referring to the Alpine here). It's completely pointless to make any sort of predictions with this car. It's honestly impossible to know how this thing will perform. We just have to go into a race weekend and hope they have pace. But for the last 4 grand prix, we have been absolute sh!t.

It seems crazy to me that this car is the same car that was as fast as Mercedes in Austria, and barely slower than Lewis in Russia.

I will agree with the Dutchman. At the end of the day 3rd or 4th wont matter if the team makes a championship winning car next year with the reset.

But I also agree with Emag. I cannot understand how this car has problems catching up to slower cars.

Yeah, the hards advantage only lasts a few laps it seems. Alonso catching Kimi quickly though.

Lando’s pace is okay. It is Ricciardo again who loses a lot of points :(

All I can say Emag is imagine how the Mercedes team feels about Bottas losing them points.

Nah this is racing why would you want to get beat within the battle you are in?

If someone asks you why you watch F1 you wouldn’t reply ‘to watch the potential development for next years car’
