I've noticed it seems the older drivers having a bit of a nightmare this race.
Perez, Alonso, Hamilton, Hulk all making large errors yeah

Just need a Bottas/Kmag safety car

Pretty sure I've heard Sargeant say he doesn't drink in the race... could be his issue
Hamilton hasn’t used a drinks bottle for some time I seem to remember.

This is very dull.

Sergio being lapped by Max and out of the points while driving the most dominant car in recent history is mind boggling.....

Edit: McLaren with the balls to actually make the call best for the team instead of whatever it is Merc have going on.

Agreed. No actual wheel to wheel racing, it’s just been a pit stop shuffle around, with a load of track limits penalties. Podium was known pretty much at the half way point

Buxton probably looking at pace of Albon and thinking how?

He was singing them praises after Albon was faster on mediums against people on 20 lap old softs yesterday.

It's really funny because McLaren haven't fight for these positions for years but they handle it way better than Merc

Or some sort of Tai chi

Wow Lando doing "hands up in the air for cooling" as well. Just saw it on his onboard.

Which once again shows that its not the most dominant car in history. It's a good car, best of the season for sure, but not a car that consistently draws in a free pitstop margin (as others in the past did).
