Unnecessary bashing for Ferrari… Leclerc couldn’t close the gap to Antonelli with 14 laps younger tyre. Russell is just cruising

We were fooled by the excellent race start by LEC and his better dueling skill vs RUS

i still think Ferrari are competitive

gaps will be tighter at more energy dense circuits, everyone will get better at deployment, plus midseason upgrades can change things

if they can just get good starts and keep the mercs in dirty air at tighter tracks they have a chance, provided they don't mess up strategy

I agree, it's not all doom and gloom as it could have been.

Side note, I didn't think Lewis would be able to bring that gap down the Leclerc with just 3 lap newer tyres.

On 45 lap old tyres. Ominous, really.

Got down to six tenths so close to that first podium but it was too little too late.

Well, dunno. The disgust, the boredom... After the initial fireworks, watching this artificial nothingness was like hoping a boner from watching a dildo and a masturbator performing some slick tricks... Errrm, no, thank you.

Russel tussles helmet color is ugly, even HAMs clarified butter looks better.

I just turn off immediately after finish. That way I dont feel the urge to puke watching those slimy characters.
