Russian GP 2019 Race

[SilverSpeed]

So,

I think that our soft tyres will hold us P1 and maybe Seb can catch Lewis before turn 3, but then onwards the race we need to open up a gap.

Normally starting on the medium tyres like the taxi's do now gives them more tactical options.

How do you guys think it will pan out?

I'm hoping for a 1 - 2 ofcourse and a Charles win! He's been good all weekend thus a win would be the only apple on the cake :-).

[Vettel165]

Afraid of Seb, Ham, Charles crash before Turn 2. Dont have a good feeling. Dont know why.

We will see.

[stefa]

The tyres are harder this year compared to last year. Last year Pirelli brought the softs, ultras and hypers to Sochi. This year the C2, C3 and C4 are the medium, softs and ultras. So it should be posible to go somewhat longer in the first stint on the ultras. Last year Merc and Ferrari pitted around laps 12-14 and Kimi pitted on lap 18. That should take some edge off Mercs attempt this year to go for the overcut by starting on the mediums. But if they bolt on the ultras for the last stint they will be very quick. Also Ferrari can't bunch up the pack like Charles did in Singapore because that will play into Mercs hands. Ferrari need to build a gap in the first stint. There is also the possibility that Ferrari will go C4 and C2 and Merc will go C3 and C2.

Not catch...vettel should get better start above ham as soft tyres hold good grip than Medium tyres.
It would be between Lec vs Vet, this is the game mercs Counted on I think so. As vet & Lec would push for P1, so that they can destroy their tyres even before the pit stop.

[Greig]

Vet will be challenging for P1 into turn 2 I think, just keep it clean and it's a 1-2 our race pace is good enough.

[FerrariF60]

Afraid of Seb, Ham, Charles crash before Turn 2. Dont have a good feeling. Dont know why.

We will see.

yeah, go back to bed you jinxer.....was so much better here when you had the one week ban....

as a FERRARI fan, i woudl NEVER even say or think something like that....

anyways....wishing a good luck to both of our drivers....

Forza FERRARI

[Vettel165]

Don't jinx it!

Hmmm I am scared. I Got rights to express my current feeling. Hope of course I am wrong.

[FerrariF60]

Vet will be challenging for P1 into turn 2 I think, just keep it clean and it's a 1-2 our race pace is good enough.

^this.....keep it clean is the main thing....and i'm sure they've been told the same

[nani_s23]

Both our drivers need to be careful when one is attacking the other. No hard racing within themselves.
Bring home 1-2 that’s enough.

[FerrariF60]

Both our drivers need to be careful when one is attacking the other. No hard racing within themselves.
Bring home 1-2 that’s enough.

exactly, especially now that the WDC is pretty much in the bag for Lewis.....

[Brembo]

Ferrari always had and will have a #1, #2 driver status. What else can Charles do to show he's got the #1 makings. He's beating the hell out of a 4x WDC champion, with just a year in the seat. And he ain't going anywhere soon. He's got years of driving ahead of him.

[tifosi1993]

Good start, and safety car

[chinmay]

Good clean start.

[nani_s23]

Great start by our drivers

[stefa]

Briliant!!!

[Tifoso Svedese]

Great start for us but something is very wrong with a circuit where starting P3 is better than P1... Bottas 2017 and now this. Well, well. I hope Vettel goes early enough for Hammy to be way behind any significant tow on us.

[nani_s23]

Interesting Charles gave slip stream to Vettel ...!!

[FerrariF60]

Interesting Charles gave slip stream to Vettel ...!!

well better his teammate tehn Lewis....

[Rob]

Interesting Charles gave slip stream to Vettel ...!!

Team work. Now we can race our strategy.

Could see switch later.

[DJTaurus]

SC will help us to extend soft tyre pit stop!!!

[nani_s23]

Kimi got jump start... penalty on the cards

[FerrariF60]

SC will help us to extend soft tyre pit stop!!!

yup.....that's one good thing

[Tifoso Svedese]

Shorter actual race should be good for us, so long as we find a way to keep Hammy behind on the restart.

[Ferrarichamp]

Grosjean DNF, some things never change.

[nani_s23]

Ferrari on Radio “they are looking for race options”.... I mean swap is on.

[tifosi1993]

Grosjean DNF, some things never change.

Wasn't his fault

[Ferrarichamp]

Wasn't his fault

according to him it never is.

[FerrariF60]

according to him it never is.

agree, but this time it really wasn;t,,,,,,how odd??

[chinmay]

Great pace, Hamilton already more than 3 seconds away.

[tifosi1993]

Early laps, but we're faster then Ham in every sector. Yes I know he's on mediums, but still good to see

[nani_s23]

Vet & Lec need to protect their tyres n build a lead on Ham.

[nani_s23]

Swap is on... here comes

[totox]

***???

[SilverSpeed]

Wait why Seb and Charles need to swap?

Because Charles is faster and Sab is the better wingman ?

[nani_s23]

I don’t know what’s going at ferrari..... Lec is far behind.

[nani_s23]

Vettel is quick enough...!!

[tifosi1993]

So now Vettel doesn't want to play the team game, not surprising.

And he's not even pulling away

[chinmay]

This is getting messy.

[brava]

Crazy

[Stormy]

Why swap???

[totox]

Let's see how Ferrari destroyed himself, and vettel little trust recently gained.

[Greig]

So looks like it was agreed before race to give Seb a tow then change positions, now Seb does not want too change back....oh dear.

[SilverSpeed]

Now taxi drivers are coming closer...

[Christopher]

This is stupid. Just let them race just creating tension for nothing.

[chinmay]

So now Vettel doesn't want to play the team game, not surprising.

And he's not even pulling away

According to you, Leclerc was pulling away in China.

[458 Italia]

This is unnecessarily messy, does not look good

[nani_s23]

Ham is keeping himself within range

[Kyss4k]

This is ridiculous... Ferrari needs to deal with this IN PRIVATE!!!

[totox]

So looks like it was agreed before race to give Seb a tow then change positions, now Seb does not want too change back....oh dear.

But leclerc must push to be near. The point is to create a gap between them and hamilton.

[nani_s23]

Vettel complained “Lec is nowhere near”..!! To let him by

[chinmay]

Vettel is setting fastest laps, 1.6s clear of Leclerc, unfair if team wants to swap him around with Leclerc.

[SilverSpeed]

MULTI 21 SEB

MULTI 21!!!!!11!1!!!!!

[Rob]

Why swap???

Because Charles played team game in Singapore and sat behind Seb. And gave him slipstream today.

Think could see swap around later.

[FerrariF60]

This is getting messy.

i agree.....they need to tell charles to push harder and then seb will let him by.....NOT when he's more tehn one second behind

[Greig]

Vettel is setting fastest laps, 1.6s clear of Leclerc, unfair if team wants to swap him around with Leclerc.

And unfair if Charles agreed to give him a tow at the start, he could have gave it to Lewis....

[tifosi1993]

According to you, Leclerc was pulling away in China.

According to you, Ferrari need to be 0.6 sec ahead in FP2 to get the pole, why don't you go away Troll.

[Rob]

This is ridiculous... Ferrari needs to deal with this IN PRIVATE!!!

FOM plays certain team radios to makenthings, well give melodrama.

[tifosi1993]

Look after your tyres Charles, it's a long race

[TonyRizza]

Vettel always pretends to be a team player... Multi 21

[nani_s23]

And unfair if Charles agreed to give him a tow at the start, he could have gave it to Lewis....

Vettel point is he would fall into DRS range of Ham. If he backs off now n give place to Lec, will see after 10L he said.

[SilverSpeed]

Now they will do the change later on cause Lewis is to close.

So before the race they agreed that Charles gave Seb a slipstream and later on he gets the position back.

Now Seb isn't playing the team game any more by setting fast laptimes.

Cheeky Seb :-D.

[Kyss4k]

Hamilton is really fast. Hope we are saving the tyres and Hamilton is pushing them hard...

[Ferrarichamp]

leclerc doesn't want to ruin his tyres staying too close to Seb.

[nani_s23]

Leclerc will get his place I’m sure. But he needs to be fastest. At the moment vettel is fastest

[Tifoso Svedese]

This could be fixed quite easy with a two-lap undercut but it's not classy from Seb, although I get that he doesn't want to lose several seconds like that.

[Arcana]

And unfair if Charles agreed to give him a tow at the start, he could have gave it to Lewis....

Yes it's unfair for Charles but if he just can't get close enough to Seb it's not ok to make the swap. Also for some reason Charles is just slower than Seb :(

[Greig]

Seb is quicker there is no need to change them

[totox]

Now they will do the change later on cause Lewis is to close.

So before the race they agreed that Charles gave Seb a slipstream and later on he gets the position back.

Now Seb isn't playing the team game any more by setting fast laptimes.

Cheeky Seb :-D.

Thnks god you are only an armchair strategist ... :roll

[Tifoso Svedese]

Yes it's unfair for Charles but if he just can't get close enough to Seb it's not ok to make the swap. Also for some reason Charles is just slower than Seb :(

I believe he'll close right up before the pit stops, his race pace should be faster as well based on Friday.

[458 Italia]

mercs pace on the mediums is good. We know that they have both championships sewn up, it's a shame they're so reliable and never crash lol

[totox]

Seb is quicker there is no need to change them

No. But it looks people here doesn't understand that and want leclerc to be first no matter anything

[Greig]

Like Vettel gave the tow to Bottas in 2017? Vettel had a great start, was already close by Leclerc and is now more than 3 seconds ahead of Leclerc.

Bottas was in a Ferrari in 2017? Hardly the same LOL its clear they said pre-race to Charles to give Seb tow and they will change it back.

[ferrari1.8t]

Leclerc is going to learn the hard way to stop helping Vettel, because he will always get screwed in the end. Vettel will not move over and hand the win to Leclerc. If an early tow was agreed upon to get Vettel ahead of Hamilton, then Vettel should honour the plan....

[JChan]

Charles it's a team game if you are P2 right now just accept it! We need 1-2, anyway you're young enough many Pole and wins ahead of you if we have the right car next year.

[FerrariF60]

I believe he'll close right up before the pit stops, his race pace should be faster as well based on Friday.

yeah, maybe he's just keeping distance not to wear his tires behind Seb....but before teh pitstops he can close the gap....we'll see if it happens

[Greig]

Leclerc is going to learn the hard way to stop helping Vettel, because he will always get screwed in the end. Vettel will not move over and hand the win to Leclerc. If an early tow was agreed upon to get Vettel ahead of Hamilton, then Vettel should honour the plan....

And give Lewis the win? no thanks Charles is not quick enough to get the place back, Seb would be ahead anyway.

[Kyss4k]

What is going on with Charles? I hope he is concentrating on the race... while "whining" in the radio :/

[totox]

Leclerc is going to learn the hard way to stop helping Vettel, because he will always get screwed in the end. Vettel will not move over and hand the win to Leclerc. If an early tow was agreed upon to get Vettel ahead of Hamilton, then Vettel should honour the plan....

Leclerc Is going to learn stop crying on the radio and push. BC if the plan was that, he must follow closely vettel and not stand still to throw race to Hamilton. If vettel is flying why he must stop and let leclerc (and hamilton) to pass?

[chinmay]

Bottas was in a Ferrari in 2017? Hardly the same LOL its clear they said pre-race to Charles to give Seb tow and they will change it back.

But why to swap when Vettel is going very well? He has put some distance between him and Leclerc.

[Christopher]

Where did Seb find this pace???

[nani_s23]

Ham FL ...!!

[458 Italia]

hamilton fastest on the mediums :roll

[nani_s23]

Ham reporting Ferrari got serious pace.

[nani_s23]

Here u go... Lec FL

[Arcana]

And give Lewis the win? no thanks Charles is not quick enough to get the place back, Seb would be ahead anyway.

This.

At the moment Lewis is quite fast and Charles is slower. I'm afraid Charles will lose p2 to Lewis at pit stops...

[nani_s23]

Ferrari can trigger Lec into pits n undercut vettel.

[ibanezz]

1-2 win is most important. Drivers places not matter for me. Forza Ferrari.

[ferrari1.8t]

And give Lewis the win? no thanks Charles is not quick enough to get the place back, Seb would be ahead anyway.

Sebs in clean air...and my point was even if it was the plan, don’t trust Vettel to play along.

[nani_s23]

Vettel FL now.... ferrari telling to push..!!
Pit stop coming soon

[tifosi1993]

Atleast Max is not a threat, If Vettel/Lec pits now, he will come out ahead of Verstappen

[nani_s23]

Ham just told on radio Target + 15 which means .... 35L +on mediums

[chinmay]

Hamilton has started whining again.

[FerrariF60]

charles has NO answer to seb's pace.......he will finish P2

[nani_s23]

charles has NO answer to seb's pace.......he will finish P2

No he would get P1....

[Arcana]

charles has NO answer to seb's pace.......he will finish P2

If he's lucky. Lewis is faster than him at the moment.

[nani_s23]

Lec will be under threat from ham at this pace

[FerrariF60]

No he would get P1....

whatttttt???? he'll never get P1....he messed it up at teh start

[tifosi1993]

No he would get P1....

He doesn't have the pace, If Vettel wins he deserves it.

[KimiBot]

What is going on with Charles? I hope he is concentrating on the race... while "whining" in the radio :/

I really don`t like that, it sounds like Grosjean

[nani_s23]

I think ferrari - vettel trying to get ahead of Bottas if there’s any pit stop sooner

[Kyss4k]

Leclerc is really slow today (compared to the other 2). No point in switching them. Seb is faster today.

[nani_s23]

He doesn't have the pace, If Vettel wins he deserves it.

But if there’s a term like slip-stream help. It would be unfair to Lec.

[FerrariF60]

He doesn't have the pace, If Vettel wins he deserves it.

agree....he may have pipped him in quali.....but race pace, seb's got charles covered.....he has NO answer

[ferrari1.8t]

whatttttt???? he'll never get P1....he messed it up at teh start

He gave his teammate a tow to get him in front of Hamilton, rather than giving Hamilton a tow. Not really a mess-up, poor judgement thinking Vettel is a team player. But if he wants P1, he should up his pace.

[paolo lalli]

We are seriously fast.

[killer]

Too much drama. Sole objective should be to bring that 1-2 home. Drivers will be drivers. This is for the pitwall to take care of.

[tifosi1993]

But if there’s a term like slip-stream help. It would be unfair to Lec.

Does't matter, faster driver should win the race.

[paolo lalli]

Seb has sprung to life and the resucitator is Charles.

[Greig]

He gave his teammate a tow to get him in front of Hamilton, rather than giving Hamilton a tow. Not really a mess-up, poor judgement thinking Vettel is a team player. But if he wants P1, he should up his pace.

Seb was ahead of Lewis right away to be fair there was no way Charles could give Lewis a tow anyway rather than Seb.

[FerrariF60]

He gave his teammate a tow to get him in front of Hamilton, rather than giving Hamilton a tow. Not really a mess-up, poor judgement thinking Vettel is a team player. But if he wants P1, he should up his pace.

he did mess up.....had a weaker start compared to Seb.....it was innevitable that he would lose the place

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc pits

[KimiBot]

agree....he may have pipped him in quali.....but race pace, seb's got charles covered.....he has NO answer

Seb had a race mode in quali and Charles had quali mode in quali, I think someone said so here

[ferrari1.8t]

Bottas about to play wingman and hold up Leclerc...

[Ferrarichamp]

Seb is faster than Chales in this stint, the 2nd stint might be different.

[tifosi1993]

I hope they don't punish Vettel by keeping him out longer, he is faster

[nani_s23]

Charles will undercut vettel that’s the plan

[nani_s23]

I hope they don't punish Vettel by keeping him out longer, he is faster

Nope there’s a plan.... undercut vettel.

[chinmay]

Bottas about to play wingman and hold up Leclerc...

This is Sochi, he can't hold up Ferrari.

[Arcana]

They are keeping Seb too much on old rubber...

[nani_s23]

Vettel is loosing lot of time to ham. Get him into pits man

[totox]

Vettel is loosing lot of time to ham. Get him into pits man

No way. they will let out to die bc leclerc

[tifosi1993]

Charles will undercut vettel that’s the plan

Again..why? Vettel is the faster race driver today. They should focus on keeping the 1-2

[Kyss4k]

What we are doing is just wrong. Ethically...

[FerrariF60]

Charles will undercut vettel that’s the plan

so we'll go from a possible 1-2 to a 1-3.....how dumb is that???

for me, i DONT' CARE WHO IS 1 AND WHO IS 2......WCC points come first.....grrgrgggrgrgrg

[killer]

Box Seb. 1-2 is the goal.

[totox]

Again..why? Vettel is the faster race driver today. They should focus on keeping the 1-2

Charles will start to cry if he doest't win.

[sxviper698]

Ferrari are a bunch of idiots if they lose this 1 /2 !!!!!

[nani_s23]

Great job ....!! 1-2 good

[tifosi1993]

What we are doing is just wrong. Ethically...

As Lauda said "Spaghetti culture"

[totox]

There you go. Everybody here will be happy. :lol

[Greig]

Seb out OMG

[nani_s23]

Goneeeeeeeeeee

[FerrariF60]

from bad to worse for us.....

[ferrari1.8t]

There goes the 1-2. Gutted

[Hornet]

God damn:-(

[Christopher]

Well that solves the team order problem

[Arcana]

Seb DNF... Well done team...

[458 Italia]

How many Italian stereotypes is croft trying to fit in today?

[Greig]

Lewis now wins?

[nani_s23]

Mgu-k failure

[Kyss4k]

What the...

[tifosi1993]

******** Disaster. :furious

[stefa]

This is unbeleviable!?!?!?

[TonyRizza]

Race lost yay

[killer]

Jeez.

[sxviper698]

No seb just did that on purpose and i would have done the same. Merc 1/2 now it's over off to work i go!

[458 Italia]

the race might be handed to mercs now :-(

[Tifoso Svedese]

He could easily have driven the thing back to the pits... WHY???????

[Arcana]

Ideal for Lewis. He will probably jump Charles and win the race... what a shame!

[ferrari1.8t]

Lewis now wins?

Sold his soul to the devil years ago, it always works in his favour. Unbelievable

[stefa]

And a free pit stop for clown

[sxviper698]

Soft tire for ham it's all over

[458 Italia]

Why is this a VSC not a real one like at the start of the race?

[chinmay]

Once again Hamilton got lucky.

[tifosi1993]

Now Hamilton will win this race, Un ******* believable

[FerrariF60]

what a gift for hamster.....

[totox]

He could easily have driven the thing back to the pits... WHY???????

The team ask him to stop the car. What a troll you are

[Christopher]

Brilliant way to blow a 1-2 and annoy both drivers. Well done.

[stefa]

How?!?!?Just how it always plays in LH hands!?!?!?

[Greig]

Hopefully full SC now

[nani_s23]

He could easily have driven the thing back to the pits... WHY???????

Radio message was stop the car

[Kyss4k]

We may be faster, we may win some qualis, even a race here and there... but we are still Ferrari of this season... To stop the car in SUCH a stupid place to cause a VSC is just a cherry on top.

[458 Italia]

oh look VSC is over just after mercs pit

[nani_s23]

Full SC... good

[Tifoso Svedese]

The team should've told Vettel to drive the car back it wasn't on fire. What a cluster-f.

I'm off. All the curse words in the world reserved for that absolute tool in the 44.

[Arcana]

Yeah Lewis on softs... he will trash the field... lucky indeed...

[458 Italia]

Oh now a real saftey car this time!

[JChan]

CHARLES or SEB!!! Look for your greed instead of 1-2 its only 1 Ferrari left racing plus VSC! OMG! both of you don't know what is a team game! as of now we have a good chance for the WCC look what happen!
GREED for SV for pushing the car and GREED for CL for wanting to claim the P1 place.

[nani_s23]

How?!?!?Just how it always plays in LH hands!?!?!?

Lucky boy...!! They hoped for luck & got it.

[Kyss4k]

Turning off... I will not watch our selfdestruction.

[ferrari1.8t]

Luckiest champion in F1 history, gifted everything all the time. Absolute joke, I don’t understand why we even bother watching this joke. Easy Ferrari 1-2 turns into a Hamilton fest...sky is loving every minute of this

[Tifoso Svedese]

The car was parked way off the track in a slow zone so no need for the MIA to bring out their tools either. I'm beyond disgusted at this.

This new absolute s with the safety cars all the time is like IndyCar. Disgusting crap.

[Greig]

CHARLES or SEB!!! Look for your greed instead of 1-2 its only 1 Ferrari left racing plus VSC! OMG! both of you don't know what is a team game! as of now we have a good chance for the WCC look what happen!
GREED for SV for pushing the car and GREED for CL for wanting to claim the P1 place.

Can't bame Seb for a technical issue for goodness sake.

[Rob]

Oh now a real saftey car this time!

Blancpain gt is on in an hour. SMP Ferrari could take endurance trophy today. Fingers crossed.

[stefa]

Now CL will overtake LH on track!

[Greig]

Charles in

[Hornet]

The team should've told Vettel to drive the car back it wasn't on fire. What a cluster-f.

I'm off. All the curse words in the world reserved for that absolute tool in the 44.

Cmon, its standard to stop ASAP when there are issue, to prevent further damage

[stefa]

What the ......

[Arcana]

CHARLES or SEB!!! Look for your greed instead of 1-2 its only 1 Ferrari left racing plus VSC! OMG! both of you don't know what is a team game! as of now we have a good chance for the WCC look what happen!
GREED for SV for pushing the car and GREED for CL for wanting to claim the P1 place.

Huh ? Greed ? Yeah we should all turn off the TVs and pray to be lapped by Williams I guess...

[Christopher]

Of course it's a Mercedes 1-2

[totox]

Now CL will overtake LH on track!

He was just crawling in first stint... Do you really believe that?

[458 Italia]

Another Schumacher record goes to hamilton :roll:-(

[stefa]

This might actualy work

[From Treviso]

lec in for softs

[sxviper698]

It's over putting a championship together if we don't have a good leadership model. Seb gave it to merc by allowing them to pit under safety car. Lew,bot,ver no podium for us

[paolo lalli]

Things happen Lewis collects by default not Merritt.

[458 Italia]

Blancpain gt is on in an hour. SMP Ferrari could take endurance trophy today. Fingers crossed.

Oh thanks for reminding me! :thumb :thumb

[Arcana]

Damn what a lottery... at least those softs for Charles are new ???

[totox]

Why the pit one lap later? I can't believe it

[nani_s23]

At least Ferrari trying something

[Kyss4k]

Another Schumacher record goes to hamilton :roll:-(

Hamilton will be 7 times WDC... maybe even 8 or 9. And we are the ones to blame for that.

[ferrari1.8t]

Things happen Lewis collects by default not Merritt.

Always...

[FerrariF60]

we may have lost a position to the buttler, but at least we're on same tires as them TWO....

what a weekend to forget after such a good Quali

[SilverSpeed]

Karma is a bitch he seb, thanks for not playing the team game and not letting Charles passed in the beginning.

[nani_s23]

Now Bottas the wingman comes into play not to push ham. But to block Lec

[killer]

Come on Charles.

[Arcana]

It's over putting a championship together if we don't have a good leadership model. Seb gave it to merc by allowing them to pit under safety car. Lew,bot,ver no podium for us

The car just broke... you can say at most that Ferrari gave it to Lewis... but not Seb...

[Greig]

Why the pit one lap later? I can't believe it

Made no difference

[Rob]

Come on Charles full gas my friend.

[458 Italia]

yes lewis you're in the lead :roll

[wappad]

we may have lost a position to the buttler, but at least we're on same tires as them TWO....

what a weekend to forget after such a good Quali


22 last to go and you give up now..

[stefa]

I am in Italy, Florence, watching race in pub with Italians... This is so sad....

[totox]

Made no difference

I thought that bottas was far behind in the first lap.

[killer]

Karma is a bitch he seb, thanks for not playing the team game and not letting Charles passed in the beginning.

Calm down and think about what you just said.

[nani_s23]

Comon Charles ... you can do it. You’ve Done it in F2.
Need to repeat it

[FerrariF60]

Now Bottas the wingman comes into play not to push ham. But to block Lec

of course that's how races and championships are won......

[tifosi1993]

This is why Mercedes is winning the championships, we have a good car and drivers, but the management simply can't do their job properly

[Tifoso Svedese]

22 last to go and you give up now..

Cars can't even run within 3 secs of one another around here and we're supposed to pass the flukester Greatest Fraud of all Time when the MIA rigged the race for him with a corrupt VSC in the slowest corner of the track? Cmon.

[stefa]

we may have lost a position to the buttler, but at least we're on same tires as them TWO....

what a weekend to forget after such a good Quali

Any way this season is over. Let's test for next year and come fully prepared

[totox]

Calm down and think about what you just said.

The guy I just trolling. Or is a high biased fanboy of leclerc

[JChan]

Huh ? Greed ? Yeah we should all turn off the TVs and pray to be lapped by Williams I guess...

YES it's greed! Imagine the race just started and CL is asking for the retaking of the position! why not let's just drive any of us win it's a team game! 1-2 is important for the points collected against the WCC we are 100+ points behind and 6 races left. anything is possible

[458 Italia]

I'm enjoying listening to Paul Di Resta, going against the sky line and hoping that Charles can go on to win :clap

[Rob]

Oh thanks for reminding me! :thumb :thumb

13.30 it is on. Blancpain channel on YouTube.

[Ferrarichamp]

we already lost the race in Bahrain due to poor reliability.
I hope next year's car will be very reliable.

[killer]

Seb gave it to merc by allowing them to pit under safety car.

Read what you wrote again slowly.

[killer]

Come on Charles Leclerc.

[nani_s23]

Lec is far

[Kyss4k]

Merc 1-2

[totox]

The delta to overtake here is huge

[paolo lalli]

We are not done yet anything can happen.

[ferrari1.8t]

Omg shut-up Crofty with your ham fest

[Tifoso Svedese]

Pfft I'm off to drive the wrong way in GP4 instead.

[Lesky]

So no we see if Ferrari is quicker or not...Go Leclerc!

[totox]

Merc 1-2

I think is a good way to remember everybody here that we must appreciate and enjoy and most of all, support our team when we won no matter what driver is. Because we are not the wining force and Merc still up there.

Bottas backing up Leclerc

[SilverSpeed]

We need to hire better people for the tactic side, then we are easily WC.

[tifosi1993]

Bottas backing up Leclerc

Doing his job

[chinmay]

Merc 1-2 done and dusted.

[Ferrarichamp]

Vettel165 had a 'bad feeling' :Hmm

[nani_s23]

Bottas backing up Leclerc

He’s there for a reason..... wingman. He’s doesn’t know to win, just block others

[Tifoso Svedese]

Correct that to "hire someone to tell Seb to drive back to the pits" instead. What a farce. Does anyone seriously believe Tötö would've told Bottas to stop the car? :rotfl That the corrupt crooks in race control then took their chance to gift the trash the win is just a given from that moment on.

[19000rpmF-2004]

Wow,wow,wow. Can we get screw up this race more!!

[458 Italia]

I've seen enough, switching over to the GT racing.

[FerrariF60]

Merc 1-2 done and dusted.

maybe we should have run teh mediums in Q2 as well.....ah, but seb would have still had car issues

[stefa]

What a....

[paolo lalli]

Merc have to pit again?

[FerrariF60]

Merc have to pit again?

what??? don't think so.....

[Ferrarichamp]

oh well, the 3 wins were nice while it lasted.
Hopefully we can win some more.

[totox]

Merc have to pit again?

No

[totox]

I can't believe that we can't pass bottas even in softer tires

[Lesky]

So folks, this gives you the answer, Merc have the better race pace in free air as suspected. A cakewalk win for them this.

THE VSC rules needs to be changed, the race is just a lottery.

At least we can stole them the poles.

[Ferrarichamp]

Mercedes have better reliability, that makes a big difference.

[Christopher]

No they don't Leclerc is just being held up by Bottas. We had the faster car today and have thrown away an easy 1-2.

No they don't...

[ferrari1.8t]

If I were Leclerc, I’d ask the butler in the cool down room how it feels not being able to race your teammate and always holding up drivers so he can win championships.

[paolo lalli]

Don't worry be happy Ferrari blunder that's all.

[19000rpmF-2004]

Painfull see Lec can’t pas the merc. What is the problem!
