All except Vesrstappen got lapped. Maybe better for Ferrari that they've crashed.

Well, Bottas is now falling back and slower than Verstappen. Dialed the car down?
Lapped traffic, Verstappen was in it right after pitting and then BOT.

Masterclass from Lewis and extremely important to get it after last weekend and burst Bottas perfect start bubble and reduce the gap to just 6 points. Onto Hungary.

I just saw the entire race on Lewis`s car and he was just cruising all day long (thank God he didn`t fall asleep :D ).

He was so consistent but most of all I think he was not once touching those nasty kerbs that give them so many vibrations ... always just into the limits to the red-and-white kerbs ...
Just shows you how ridiculously dominant that car is.
Oh it is I agree. Then put an all time great in it. :?:
True, all F1 fans wish is that put an upcoming great into the other car.

Tom Brady, Usain Bolt are true GOATs.

Other than DNF's there is nothing at all to worry about from Lewis' pov. Bottas was using an offset strategy to fight Max who was absolutely flat out all race with a damaged front wing in a dominant car. THAT is Bottas' level. He won the first race because he was 0.012 faster than Hamilton on the first run. He is not in the same planet as most of the grid. Lewis will eat him alive as he has in their time together.
"Sebastian there's very, you're a member of a very select few.. Stewart, Lauda, Piquet, Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Fangio.. VETTEL!"

Merc are so dominant. It was a walk in the park. Redbull went with the aggressive strategy and were still beaten comprehensively.

Why set the podium up on the track, instead of just using the actual podium!? Seems a lot of work for little benefit.
So they could have space for the robotic trophy delivery system

I laughed for 2 mins straight when I saw it

De-Resta ‘Mercedes haven’t exactly dominated it’. Just how much dope has he been smoking?
He has what could only be called a hatred of Hamilton, so he will say anything to downplay Mercedes or Hamilton.
How the hell does Di Resta’s statement downplay Hamilton. If Mercedes haven’t exactly dominated, then they’ve won the race by virtue of Hamilton’s driving brilliance.

But, I disagree with him. Mercedes have actually dominated the race and Hamilton had way more pace in hand, borne out by the fact that he didn’t complain about the tyres.

To be frank. I think any decent human being is all for equal rights, but the sudden appearance of black counterparts to usual hosts for every TV section is borderline a mockery... It makes me cringe because it's done purely to save face. comes across as almost mocking somehow?
