Russian GP 2020 : Race

Ferrari got it right, they kept vettel out which helped Leclerc to jump other cars.

[Warp]

Ferrari totally destroyed sebs race just to safe leclerc.
Pathetic team.

Pathetic fan. Vettel is 0.5s slower compared to Leclerc

[tifosi1993]

Gasly ahead of Albon, well done Gasly

[tifosi1993]

More than that.

[Tifoso Svedese]

As for Vettel, we're talking Ivan Capelli 1992 levels now. He's given up. Sure, he'd be faster than Bottas in that car, but he really is a fairweather driver to a ridiculous degree.

[tifosi1993]

I think Vettel should keep a mental picture of battling Kimi. Next year he will be battling him quite a bit, with Kimi being ahead most of the times, hopefully.

[Peter De La Mar]

understood. Lewis getting penalized with a 10 sec. timed penalty was okay. Adding points to his superlicense BECAUSE of the penalty is severe.

I was wrong. He had 8 points, he now has 2 more from this penalty for a total of 10 points. One penalty away from a ban. I think this counts as severe.

[tifosi1993]

Mega job Charles. Yet another Alonso-esque drive. What a star.

[nani_s23]

Good race for Ferrari ... more than expected.

yep

I wonder what next brainfade he'll do in his boredom. Reverse or drive the wrong way?

[KimiBot]

Charles did a great job... not so much else to say about this race

[h3ro]

Bottas sure is yelling a lot for someone that got handed a win.

Dream on Seb will fight for podiums next year. Ferrari for lower points. You will see.

Karma will prevail. Charles should thank Seb today for 6.place. In Seb we trust.

Of course you will have no motivation when the team left you out for 10 laps to long and than you felt to 15. Place. Bla bla bla no sense. A big joke.

Who cares season is over happy for Max today did its job.

[Tifoso Svedese]

I'm torn on whether he got handed it. The softs really weren't good today and the mediums were faster than the hards. Even without the penalty there's a strong chance he could've overcut Hammy, who screwed up yesterday by needlessly running wide at the end of his first Q2 lap.

Ignore him, the rest of the forum ignores him already.

On the strategy part, it was a correct decision. On days you don't have pace, the best you can do is to try and help your teammate, this was similar to Spa 2019, on both occasions Vettel had no pace but had enough to help Leclerc a bit who was quite a bit faster. Seb would agree with the decision too, soon in post race comments, you would hear Seb saying that he had no pace and it was correct decision to stay out and hold other cars for as long as possible to help Leclerc gain a place or two.

Sad days to be a Seb fan. Hope the nightmare is over next year. I am positive.

A new team will bring him motivation, less pressure and some innerpeace to deliver.

Nothing do with Dreams or Karma, simple logic and facts. Of course you wouldn't know about it. Ferrari is Ferrari, they will go back to their usual place next year. And you and rest of the Vettel fangirl brigade will be bawling your eyes out next year, yet again.

So yeah...enjoy the "Karma".

Okey.

[tifosi1993]

Okey.

Not really, finished 61.467 seconds behind Leclerc. I wouldn't call it "okey" If I were his fan.

Lewis managed the start very well and kept the lead. He had pace on the tires and would switched on to the harder tire. I don't think he can fight Lewis on in-race pace and in a 1 on 1 between the two, I'm taking Lewis every single time. Lets say he did make the overcut work, I think Lewis would have made up the gap and fought for that win.

His messages were corny and out of place considering the circumstances resulting in him winning completely unchallenged.

Anyway, great job by Charles.

Who gives a **** really. He was in traffic entire race really.

[tifosi1993]

Also shout out to Gio, his pace was pretty good. One more retirement and he would've finished inside the top 10.

You really are grumpy hater. Keep living in you dream world.

A disgrace for ferrari. The worse year in at least 20 years.

[Ferrarichamp]

Bottas is keeping his title chances mathematically alive

Thank god. Shame for Max though he had 3 bad races not his foult. Would be within 30 points of Lewis.

[MSC Fan]

Good race by both Seb and Charles. Charles made many positions and brought home a bunch of points while Seb held of Ricciardo and Ocon for a long time. This went much better than I expected tbh.
