The car has potential. If they can fix the tyre overheating issue next year, they’ll be up there. Merc 1 and 2!! Lets GO! Mega drive from George and Lewis!

Yeah, fully deserved by George. Great weekend.

Lewis still has it in him but also, maybe he doesn’t…if that makes sense. We missed out on 50 laps of fighting for a win between them

Typically, the better George does on a Saturday is the worse he does on a Sunday.
Couldn't have been farther than truth.
He’s never converted a pole into a win, and generally goes backwards on a Sunday, due to him outperforming the car on a Saturday. You clearly don’t watch much F1
Well thats now settled. :lol:

This is not a demanding circuit. No real long radius corners or real slow corners. So long way to go.

I think if lewis has started p2 or p3, we wouldnt see a fight for a win.

Even from p5 probably, given that Max was actually close at one stage.

I think even George knows that tbh, but there's no taking away that he deserved his pole and the win as he was there when it counted.

I'm still waiting till next year to judge Lewis' quali capabilities though.

Congrats to Mercedes, I never expected they could be able to get their race pace reeled in vs Ferrari (and even RB) and they did a fantastic job after FP2 to get the race setup right. Russell was cool as cucumber and Hamilton was absolutely stunning once he got some free air.

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Unfortunately for Kimi, it will likely take a while to get up to speed.

I think 2025 will be a yoyo season for top teams.

Hopefully he's more Lawson than Colapinto in his first season.

Great weekend from Russell, he once again showed he can lead the team. He delivered the goods in quali, and then managed the race out front whilst minimizing the risk. Veteran style.

What a strange weekend. Mclaren nowhere. The Mercs dominating. Lewis’s no show in q3 likely cost him the win. Normal service will likely resume in Quatar though. 2025 is promising to be completely bonkers. I don’t remember the last time I got so excited for a season.

If never makes sense to me why a company called Ferrari would advertise at an event that has the Ferrari we all know.
