    Ferrari doesn't have the car to win, probably won't have it in years, they don't need Vettel, they don't need to pay him 40m even if Ferrari is rich. Get a solid driver and let Leclerc grow as the team leader. Vettel days are almost over, doesn't matter if he retires or not, when his contract is over in 2020, he is done with Ferrari.

    Well, Hockenheim is a layout that suits the car a lot better, it's actually quite similar to Austria - so in theory I wouldn't rule a Charles pole out there. Having said that - Formula DRS is what it is on Sundays regardless, so that wouldn't last long at this rate.

    There’s a mistake from him, not major one but a minor.
    He moved inside the line at last moment which is at heavy braking zone. Seb was looking to go inside, then took adverse action to the right side n locked his wheels.

    He left no space inside the line. As per the rules a driver need to leave the space or enough width when there’s on track battle.

    yeah he needs to leave space if the driver is along side, vettel was behind...

    Yeah I missed that, Bottas wouldn't have pitted if not for that incident.

    Nope, when vettel was trying for inside line. Max made movement to inside which is fine no problem but at that moment itself there was no space n vettel went for right side. Max again moved to cover vettel.

    Cause Seb was on hard and used two different tyre types and Bottas had to pit again.
    Bottas would have had to overtake Seb on track at the end (and Max)

    Nope, he still had to, he used Medium/Medium, even if the tyres had being perfect he’d still had to stop.

    Vettel was in the range of 9-10 sec bottas, where bottas need to make another pit stop for softs.

    considering vettel was 20s behind and losing time every lap, bottas would have come out ahead

    Unfortunately f1 now is tyre related a moderate engine is sufficient. Tires and down force this is the package mercedes are in a league of there own they magically get there tires heated and rubbered in that is the stand out feature of the mercedes.Ferrari have a great engine but it's not enough in this era of formula one. lots of home work needed to be done by Ferrari I see nothing wrong with using one of the Ferrari cars as a test mule during races in a way it's clever and results can go towards next year's car.we have nothing to lose this year the wrong development path was chosen for this year's car a total Ferrari blunder no excuses and it was never ever going to be an easy fix. Next year's car is already well advanced and this car will be sebs last roll of the dice expect Charles to be even faster.

    Oh I see, thanks. But it wouldn't have worked anyways considering the Merc race pace on those hard tires.

    It's our own fault. When F1 was all about engine (2014) we went for reliability instead of power, messed it up and were miles behind. Now, when we managed to catch them after 5 years, we ignored aero, ignored the tyres (remember letting Pirelli do what they want without using our veto? And it continues with us not being bothered with testing the new low profile tyres after we were asked to do so...). We are the makers of our failure. The only other full factory team to Mercedes, the only other team with the budget and... we fail again and again.

    Wow! Watching the after-race on Sky... Lewis doing crowdsurfing, celebrating with fans on the finish straight, taking pictures... behind all that anger I feel for him for driving for our competitors... damn he seems like a great guy! Cool

    Seb never gives up on race day.

    Race day is where he races. Practice is where he tests parts for us to help development. No need to get personal.

    Apart from Charles and his incredible driving, this was another embarrassing performance from Ferrari, compounded by Seb's brain-fade moment with Max. It seems we didn't have enough grunt from our 'powerful' engine to pass the Honda-engined RBs, I wonder whether it's because we've had to add more downforce to try and help our wayward front end, thereby losing some top speed. The pit stop lost it for Charles v Max but Charles fought back and the SC again played into HAM's hands, his luck is never-ending. Charles also lost out in the SC period, so the end result was a more than justified P3 for him and a penalty and the naughty step for Seb. He will be getting it from all quarters and something has to change or he needs to get out, for his sake and ours, sadly.

    yeah the SC did help Lewis. He did struggle a bit vs Bottas this weekend. Was anyone else surprised by that?
