Leclerc is now 2 seconds ahead of Hulk and lapping faster. I don't why Ferrari opted to stay out.

I wonder what Bottas is thinking now.
Scrubbed soft would've been the way to go. P7 with five cars dropping out ahead is pathetic given we got P4 on merit yesterday and what's worse is that they blew it by being too trigger happy to commit to the two-stop too soon. Should've left Charles out five more laps at least.
Ferrari should have pitted charles another point for stupidity seb driving miss daisy just another Sunday.
Its not Lewis's pace Martin Brundle. It's the Mercedes pace. The current Mercedes is F2004 version 2.0
Giovinazzi beats Seb.
Good job by Leclerc/Gio/Hulk/Romain...!!
Hulk DoD
It's not how start but how you finish.
GIO P10. Well done.
Main problem of ferrari is low power of the engine and this year they can’t do anything about that...
Just plain and simple misery. Ferrari has become totally irrelevant .
Hamilton equalling Michael's record in his home.
An Alpha Tauri pulling away from Charles.
A Haas and an Alfa Romeo finishing ahead of Seb (in his home grand prix, no less).
Could it get any worse? I think I'm skipping the rest of the season.

WOOOOOW....Mick presenting Lewis with one of Michaels helmets.........wooow!!!!

Gasly had no business finishing ahead of Charles, on pace alone Charles-Ferrari was much faster than Gasly. But thanks to our pit wall yet again, who didn't go for a free pit stop under the SC but Gasly did, we have lost few valuable points. And looking at Charles's pace on worn out 25+ laps mediums, who knows what he could've done with a scrubbed softs or fresh hards.
And as for Vettel, the less can be said the better. Did his textbook spin today, and race pace was all over the place. The fact that he couldn't clear out one Alfa the entire race, when Charles cleared Raikkonen in one lap, says everything. And even with the late safety car. he finishes 10+ seconds behind Charles.
And Congrats to GIO for his well deserved point finish.

Yeah, like Norris and Pérez might have rolled past him, but at least that would've put him in the window to have a fresh set of mediums left for the final stop when the SC came out because he could've been in the borderlands between one and two stops and thus finished P5 ahead of Sainz.
Are they actually doing an official fawning ceremony over the lunatic? He's fully taking over the asylum now. Goodness me. You couldn't pay me 50 million to be a politically correct vegan even if I didn't have to do anything. He's still a loser. Oh, and life without butter and cheese ain't a life worth living. If only Hammy boy spoke about the lockdown polices instead. That's actual police brutality. Not a pipe from him on that.

Pit crews are cumbersome, +3-3.5 seconds pit stops every race.
Horrible pit call and the typical plan A, B, C or whatever the **** it means radio call during the race. They simply don't know how to react during the race.
At least the upgrade is working.
It's 1980s again...
Nothing looks like the beast of Ferrari 2000-2004. The car is BAD, the crew is BAD, the engine is even worse.
Ferrari seems to enter in a spiral of death. Less money from the championship, less competent people, less attractive, less, less, less...
As for Vettel, for me it's clear that he doesn't care. He drives as slow as he can, not as fast, but as slow as he can.
Just like Kimi did with Alonso and Vettel. Week in, week out. He doesn't like the no 2 status and make Ferrari to pay for this.
As for recovery, I don't expect anything from this team. Maybe, just maybe in 5 years, they have a decent engine and a mediocre car, and maybe, they remember how to make sub-3 seconds pit stops, but nothing better than this...
Too sad...

Schumi had hard times. It wasn't always easy.
But with Merc, everything is easy. Starting with the suspicious token system to all the sagas around the engines (for both Merc and Ferrari).
So ot looks like ,the decision not to pit under safety car for softs,was Lec's because he had a huge graining problem on the 1st stint!!
At the Ferrari wall there was a heated exchange of words via radio between the engineers and Leclerc regarding a possible stop to be made under the safety car regime to re-mount the soft. Charles explained that he did not want to make a further stop to avoid suffering graining again in the final laps and defended this choice.
“I didn't want to take the risk of putting on the soft when the safety car came in given the effort I had done at the beginning. Today was the best strategy we could have chosen ”.
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
