Thunderstorms forcast all after 2pm:Hmm Hamster is good in wet racing, unfortunately.

[Rob]

Good luck. So we have front row lockout? Good.

Will be recording race as out family meal.

He did make a foul of himself in Germany though.

Rain or dry, here's hoping for a Ferrari 1-2 finish :)

Dont worry, our car is very good in wet, also we have mr OmniKnight Charles who is very good in wet too.

[Tifoso Svedese]

There's a strong chance the thunderstorms go south of Distrito Federal, it seems like that's where the convective energy is forecast to be.

[stefa]

Honestly I don't want rain. It is a lottery, and in that game LH always wins! So please let it stay dry!

[KimiBot]

Forza e buon coraggio Charles and Seb, behave yourselves and let's try to make the most of this!:pray

They should have some game plan to keep rest of the guys behind, team work, that would be nice.

[nani_s23]

Quite agree stefa, and Max isn't too bad in the wet either. I just hope our boys play safe and sensible, but manage to keep HAM and Max behind them. If it's wet, it'll be a lottery indeed.:Hmm:roll

[FerrariF60]

if its gonna be wet, prolly will be a safety car start....so our boys will be safe

[KimiBot]

:ferrarifl

[PURE PASSION]

I think I saw it was sunny

[FerrariF60]

I think I saw it was sunny

it is....small chances of rain towards the end of race.....we'll see

[stefa]

No rain, and it doesn't look like it will be raining!

[tifosi1993]

:ferrarifl

[FerrariF60]

so is misssion win now ON for the rest of hte season???

i don't like it.....car looked a lot better with the 90 years instead

[Vettel165]

Dont like the race that late. Too much pressure for the evening. Love the races in the morning. Carnage incoming as I am feeling it.

[stefa]

so is misssion win now ON for the rest of hte season???

i don't like it.....car looked a lot better with the 90 years instead

To be honest I did not notice that at all! As long as Ferrari is contender for poles and wins and it is red I don't care for the rest

[tifosi1993]

so is misssion win now ON for the rest of hte season???

i don't like it.....car looked a lot better with the 90 years instead

Bring back Marlboro 8-)

[FerrariF60]

Bring back Marlboro 8-)

yeah, i can ONLY wish......

[stefa]

:ferrarifl

[Arcana]

Come on, let's make this one a clean start...

[FerrariF60]

im nervous.....especially since Max is supper ****** after quali

[stefa]

Let's roll!

[tifosi1993]

:clap

[stefa]

Aint karma #$%^ MV?!

[tifosi1993]

Now that's what I call nice choreographed move, Well done

[FerrariF60]

so far so good.......let's go boys

[KimiBot]

Nice drive by Sainz

[tifosi1993]

Albon will hold up Hamilton and co.

[Christopher]

Haha Max having a proper temper tantrum caused 2 accidents already.

[DJTaurus]

I would prefer Hamilton having this year all verstapen misfortunes.

[stefa]

Albon will hold up Hamilton and co.

Don't think

[stefa]

LH faster from top 4 drivers

[FerrariF60]

LH faster from top 4 drivers

let him BURN HIS TIRES.....lol

[nani_s23]

Mad max being mad max.... he can never be champion if he behaves like this.
Lec is more matured than him.

[FerrariF60]

Mad max being mad max.... he can never be champion if he behaves like this.
Lec is more matured than him.

yup, totally agree

[nani_s23]

Lec not pulling away..!!

[nani_s23]

Top3 are in range of Ham. Not good

[tifosi1993]

Show us the damn race....stop pointing at the crowd....

[stefa]

Albon in SV DRS

[tifosi1993]

Albon in SV DRS

Not gonna help him.

[stefa]

Albon in SV DRS

It was obviously some SV mistake

[Christopher]

Vettel needs to pick up his pace

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc and Seb picked up their pace, personal best everywhere.

Last lap

Lec 1m20.931
Vet 1m20.978

[nani_s23]

I think Lec / vettel managing tyres.

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc Pits...why...

[stefa]

LH very FL

[TonyRizza]

good bye lec race win

[ferrari1.8t]

Leclerc Pits...why...

Handing the race to Vettel, lec has to do a 2 stop now and Vet will do a 1. I don’t get it

[FerrariF60]

so charles is on GTWO stopper while the mercs will be on ONE stopper

is this race LOST for us??

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc was absolutely flying at the front, he was 2.5 seconds. There was no need to pit him, I guess Ferrari is going for 2 stops with Charles...

[ferrari1.8t]

so charles is on GTWO stopper while the mercs will be on ONE stopper

is this race LOST for us??

Yes.

[ferrari1.8t]

Leclerc was absolutely flying at the front, he was 2.5 seconds. There was no need to pit him, I guess Ferrari is going for 2 stops with Charles...

Making sure not to hurt Vettels feelings and give him some confidence.

[Arcana]

Seb wins if safety car shows up. Otherwise he will lose p2 to Albon.

[FerrariF60]

Yes.

leave it to ferrari to mess it up for Charles yet once again.....he was comfortable in the fornt.....WHY BRING HIM IN?? and put him on a TWO stopper.....what a cluster &^%$ by ferrari

[Greig]

so charles is on GTWO stopper while the mercs will be on ONE stopper

is this race LOST for us??

2 stops was the quickest according to Pirelli....but you also forget about Seb?

[Greig]

Seb wins if safety car shows up. Otherwise he will lose p2 to Albon.

Seb will be going to 1 stop.

[FerrariF60]

Making sure not to hurt Vettels feelings and give him some confidence.

ha, ha,....totally agree
i would have given the BOOT to seb for next year......

[Greig]

ha, ha,....totally agree
i would have given the BOOT to seb for next year......

Must be hurting you that Seb is driving pretty well recently.....

[chinmay]

As per Pirelli, 1 stop is the slowest strategy and the strategy Leclerc is on is the fastest.

[Greig]

As per Pirelli, 1 stop is the slowest strategy and the strategy Leclerc is on is the fastest.

We have better experts here though...they know more than the teams :-)

[FerrariF60]

Must be hurting you that Seb is driving pretty well recently.....

pretty well......ferari is always screwing charles so htat vettal is happy....

[DJTaurus]

It seems Vettel managing tyres better than Lec. That’s why the pit stop different strategy.

[Greig]

pretty well......ferari is always screwing charles so htat vettal is happy....

LOL Charles is on the quickest strategy.

[FerrariF60]

LOL Charles is on the quickest strategy.

we'll see how it's gonna unveil towards the end of race when CHarles will be on SOFT tires

[tifosi1993]

It seems Vettel managing tyres better than Lec. That’s why the pit stop different strategy.

Leclerc was pulling away from Vettel while looking after his tyres. I think Ferrari responded to Albon's pitstop with Charles

[ferrari1.8t]

LOL Charles is on the quickest strategy.

That’s yet to be seen, it’s only a prediction from Pirelli. I won’t hold my breath.

[tifosi1993]

Hamilton pits.

[ferrari1.8t]

IMO Ferrari screwed Leclerc and forced him to fight Hamilton on track and lost our 1-2 finish...we’ll see how this plays out

[stefa]

And we $#@$ it up again!

[tifosi1993]

Pretty bad lap from Vettel 1m22.197, made a mistake in sector 2

[nani_s23]

Vettel opted out ....

[Arcana]

Lol at Max... For some reason since Charles started to shine Max just went downhill and became the old Mad Max again.

[stefa]

Why?!?!?

[FerrariF60]

And we $#@$ it up again!

what else is new??? we always mess it up.....grgrgrggrgrgrgrg

[nani_s23]

Max dangerous on track

[DJTaurus]

Why Albon is behind Hamilton after the stop ??

[stefa]

What is the reason behind this?!?!?

[TonyRizza]

lmao why isnt ferrari pitting vettel.
this strategist is a moron

[Christopher]

I think we have blown it. Lewis is going to win on a one stop.

[tifosi1993]

I guess Ferrari took Pirelli's strategy debrief by heart...right now, Hamilton has the high ground. :roll

[FerrariF60]

I think we have blown it. Lewis is going to win on a one stop.

yup

[Arcana]

It seems they messed up Seb strategy... they should have pitted him right after Charles. Now the real problem is that Lewis is much faster than Charles...

[stefa]

VB is just marginally slower than CL on much older tires

[stefa]

SV is faster than CL on newer tires??!

[stefa]

And classical LH moaning

[tifosi1993]

What is the reason behind this?!?!?

Nothing really...another brain fade moment I guess. Vettel's still doing low 1m21's, there was no reason to Charles from the lead.

[nani_s23]

It seems they messed up Seb strategy... they should have pitted him right after Charles. Now the real problem is that Lewis is much faster than Charles...

Lec 2 stop , vet 1stop. Ham will be on much older tyres at the end if he’s on one stop

[FerrariF60]

thing is our race pace is pure %$#$ it's been like this since summer break
good in quali, but NOWHERE in hte race

[FerrariF60]

And classical LH moaning

yeah, meanwhile he'll prolly win the race.....

[stefa]

LH is now slower

[chinmay]

Vettel doing well up front. Last few laps will be very exciting.

[stefa]

For the time being it looks like our plan is better

[tifosi1993]

Lec 2 stop , vet 1stop. Ham will be on much older tyres at the end if he’s on one stop

Judging by how good the mediums holding...I don't think Hamilton on older Hards matters that much. We have to overtake Hamilton ON TRACK to win this race.

[tifosi1993]

Bottas now closing in on Vettel

[nani_s23]

Judging by how good the mediums holding...I don't think Hamilton on older Hards matters that much. We have to overtake Hamilton ON TRACK to win this race.

We can do this. Np

[FerrariF60]

For the time being it looks like our plan is better

not sure mate.....we're gonnna see how it's gonnna unfold the rest of the race

[nani_s23]

For the time being it looks like our plan is better

Yup... seems to be right strategy for now

[nani_s23]

Vettel doing good job... Lec needs to pick up pace.
Max pushing everyone of the track.

[tifosi1993]

We can do this. Np

But there was no need to gamble...we had the 1-2, it's not like Mercedes gonna overtake us on track. Right now, Hamilton is on prime position...and this entirely Ferrari's fault

[FerrariF60]

Judging by how good the mediums holding...I don't think Hamilton on older Hards matters that much. We have to overtake Hamilton ON TRACK to win this race.

yeah, but that's easier said then done.....maybe wiht some luck....we'll see

[nani_s23]

But there was no need to gamble...we had 1-2, it's not like Mercedes gonna overtake us on track. Right now, Hamilton is on prime position...and this entirely Ferrari's fault

I don’t think ferrari had the race pace with those medium tyres.

[FerrariF60]

Vettel doing good job... Lec needs to pick up pace.
Max pushing everyone of the track.

he's back to his old self.....doing what he does best....lololol

[nani_s23]

he's back to his old self.....doing what he does best....lololol

This is why I don’t like very much... although he has pure raw pace. He’s very much arrogant

[nani_s23]

Ham struggling with those tyres.

[tifosi1993]

I don’t think ferrari had the race pace with those medium tyres.

I don't think so.

[chinmay]

Vettel losing time because of traffic.

[tifosi1993]

Idiots...pit him goddamn it

[DJTaurus]

Hamilton should pit again.

[ferrari1.8t]

Hamilton should pit again.

His tyres look brand new, don’t be fooled by his “poor me” messages. Hamilton is busy making sure the replays of his career looked like he had to work at his accomplishments.

[FerrariF60]

Hamilton should pit again.

yeah, looking at the rear left mark in the middle of the tire.....YEAH HE SHOLD PIT AGAIN....we'll if he does....maybe he'll set a fastest lap too with those old worn tires.....LOL

[FerrariF60]

His tyres look brand new, don’t be fooled by his “poor me” messages. Hamilton is busy making sure the replays of his career looked like he had to work at his accomplishments.

the rear left mate looked pretty bad on the slow motion

[nani_s23]

Advantage vettel as of now. Ham/Lec will pit again.

[stefa]

I am puzzled?!? When team have 1-2 on start, what needs to be done to finish in the same order?!?

[Tifoso]

yeah, looking at the rear left mark in the middle of the tire.....YEAH HE SHOLD PIT AGAIN....we'll if he does....maybe he'll set a fastest lap too with those old worn tires.....LOL

Ramilton is overdue for a mechanical DNF—in all the remaining races :-)

[FerrariF60]

I am puzzled?!? When team have 1-2 on start, what needs to be done to finish in the same order?!?

have a car that is good on race pace MATE.....that's whats needed.....our race pace is NOT that good

[stefa]

What was the reason for CL for 2 stopper?!

[stefa]

And as icing on the cake they made slow stop for CL

[drax]

Another blunder, another lost race on strategy

[FerrariF60]

Ramilton is overdue for a mechanical DNF—in all the remaining races :-)

mate, this rat is the luckiest man/f1 driver alive

[drax]

Vettel can still win

[tifosi1993]

What was the reason for CL for 2 stopper?!

Didn't you heard...it was the fastest strategy...:rotfl

Because Pirelli told them. :roll

[FerrariF60]

What was the reason for CL for 2 stopper?!

in order taht Seb had a shot at the win....and keep him happy

but Greig will say otherwise....LOLOLOLOL

[stefa]

VB is fast

[Arcana]

1.9s for Albon, over 6 seconds for Charles... not sure what else could be said...

[ferrari1.8t]

Ferrari 1-2 is now a Mercedes 1-2..my god. At this rate Ferrari will hand Hamilton his 7th Title. Wake up boys, it’s not good enough.

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc got screwed up again, without doing anything wrong. Another missed opportunity for him.

[ChrisFerrari]

1-2 start. Managed to mess it up again. When the drivers dont make mistakes, the team catches up..

[Greig]

in order taht Seb had a shot at the win....and keep him happy

but Greig will say otherwise....LOLOLOLOL

Let's see shall we......4 seconds loss in the pits might hurt him though.

[FerrariF60]

1-2 start. Managed to mess it up again. When the drivers dont make mistakes, the team catches up..

it comes naturally for Ferrari i'm afraid.....lol

[TonyRizza]

LeClErC HaS BeSt StRaTeGy

[tifosi1993]

in order taht Seb had a shot at the win....and keep him happy

but Greig will say otherwise....LOLOLOLOL

Well...let's just say it is always weird to see the leading driver getting the sub-par strategy...

[Greig]

LeClErC HaS BeSt StRaTeGy

Looks better than Seb's atm

[Greig]

Well...let's just say it is always weird to see the leading driver getting the sub-par strategy...

I must have missed the chequered flag...

[stefa]

VB is close to SV

[stefa]

From race pace of SV, LH and VB 2 stop for CL was not needed

[ferrari1.8t]

I must have missed the chequered flag...

You expect Lec to make up 10.8 seconds and pass Bot, Vet and Ham in 20 laps? Without killing his tyres? Am I missing something?

[stefa]

VB almost in DRS to SV

[FerrariF60]

You expect Lec to make up 10.8 seconds and pass Bot, Vet and Ham in 20 laps? Without killing his tyres? Am I missing something?

lol.....yeah he's dreaming for sure.....

[stefa]

I won't be surprised if this race finished by Mercedes 1-2

[tifosi1993]

Hamilton just playing games up front...personal best sector 3 last lap

[Greig]

You expect Lec to make up 10.8 seconds and pass Bot, Vet and Ham in 20 laps? Without killing his tyres? Am I missing something?

Well he is catching pretty well at the moment so maybe watch it and see.

[PURE PASSION]

The hard look to last ,so it will be hard for Vet to pass Ham.And he will be in trouble with Bot

[ferrari1.8t]

Well he is catching pretty well at the moment so maybe watch it and see.

Will do:thumb

[FerrariF60]

vettel can't even keep the charging bottas behind.....let alone vet having a go at lewis.....

[stefa]

From LH moaning about early stop now he is way comfortable

[Greig]

vettel can't even keep the charging bottas behind.....let alone vet having a go at lewis.....

So nothing to do with strategy then...so stop your crying.

[tifosi1993]

If Leclerc can do 1m19.2 with Hards, what's stopping Vettel to do the same. He is still doing 1m20's

[TonyRizza]

So nothing to do with strategy then...so stop your crying.

well if he pitted the same time as hamilton he would have track position

[FerrariF60]

Well he is catching pretty well at the moment so maybe watch it and see.

obviously not fast enough.....and one thing is catching and another is passing teh Merc
we dont' seem to have quali boost during the race

[Tifoso]

I leave you guys for a few minutes :-E

[FerrariF60]

If Leclerc can do 1m19.2 with Hards, what's stopping Vettel to do the same. He is still doing 1m20's

Greig might say he's saving tires.....lol

[Greig]

obviously not fast enough.....and one thing is catching and another is passing teh Merc
we dont' seem to have quali boost during the race


Finally you realise we are not quicker than Merc in the race again, so strategy is not going to change much.

[Greig]

Greig might say he's saving tires.....lol

Why don't you stop posting about me already.

But his tyres are much older, doh

[stefa]

LH will win this one, unfortunately

[tifosi1993]

Vettel's even slower than Hamilton..get a move on buddy.

[FerrariF60]

LH will win this one, unfortunately

have to agree wiht you

[ferrari1.8t]

Finally you realise we are not quicker than Merc in the race again, so strategy is not going to change much.

Pace or not, The pit wall screwed this one up by pitting Charles when they did.

[FerrariF60]

Vettel's even slower than Hamilton..get a move on buddy.

and he's even got tires that ate 15 laps fresher......

[ferrari1.8t]

LH will win this one, unfortunately

X2, whatever happens in a race, Hamilton is always in the place to capitalize. He sold his soul years ago lol

[tifosi1993]

Bottas will get the DRS from Vettel...It will hard for Leclerc to overtake him

[Greig]

So here comes Charles, shame about that pitstop....

[stefa]

And at the end we will run out of laps

[stefa]

So here comes Charles, shame about that pitstop....

And mistake

[Greig]

Bad mistake from Charles

[stefa]

So this is the end

[FerrariF60]

So here comes Charles, shame about that pitstop....

too bad he makes mistakes

[ferrari1.8t]

So here comes Charles, shame about that pitstop....

Lol, getting close is one thing. Passing 3 top drivers is another. And he just had a lock up...lost a second. They are asking to much of him, face it

[FerrariF60]

So this is the end

it's been from teh get go......maybe ferrari will have better race pace next year

[tifosi1993]

Oh there's not going to any drop off. Hamilton will win this race...and Leclerc thank's to Ferrari's stupid strategy will finish P4.

[Ferrari312T4]

Vettel is slow or getting old. Fresher tires still no pace against Hamilton?!?

[Greig]

Lol, getting close is one thing. Passing 3 top drivers is another. And he just had a lock up...lost a second. They are asking to much of him, face it

Pretty easy to pass here when you are 1 second quicker though, so without the slow stop he would be having a very good chance to win.

[tifosi1993]

Hamilton 1m19.889 :lol

[FerrariF60]

Oh there's not going to any drop off. Hamilton will win this race...and Leclerc thank's to Ferrari's stupid strategy will finish P4.

not only that, prolly he;ll even set a fastest lap.....cherry on top

[stefa]

LH below 1:20

[FerrariF60]

Vettel is slow or getting old. Fresher tires still no pace against Hamilton?!?

it's not him mate, it's the car.....no race pace at all

[stefa]

What a drama queen is LH!??!? Moaning about tires and now fastest of them all

[TonyRizza]

once again the strategists lose us a 1-2

[tifosi1993]

Hamilton is now doing personal best lap. :lol

[Greig]

once again the strategists lose us a 1-2


:rotfl

[paolo lalli]

Another Ferrari **** up.when will they learn follow mercedes strategy once again schooled. Poles count for nothing .Ferrari pole champions mercedes race champions.

[FerrariF60]

once again the strategists lose us a 1-2

no mate....it's our race pace
if you are slow in the race like we are now....seb on 15 laps newer tires cannot catch and pass Lewis.....

WE TAKE THE GLORY IN QUALI......

[stefa]

:rotfl

Yes our car is slower in race trim, but why CL had 2 stops?!?

[19000rpmF-2004]

Another Ferrari **** up.when will they learn follow mercedes strategy once again schooled. Poles count for nothing .Ferrari pole champions mercedes race champions.

Will see. Some laps to go.

[ferrari1.8t]

What a drama queen is LH!??!? Moaning about tires and now fastest of them all

I told you, it’s all for his highlight reel...poor me, no one likes me, everything was hard, it was all me. When he wins this race all he will say is how hard it was to keep the “faster” Ferrari’s behind. Please. This has been the darkest era in F1 history. Ferrari didn’t help by making it nice and easy for them...

[TonyRizza]

no mate....it's our race pace
if you are slow in the race like we are now....seb on 15 laps newer tires cannot catch and pass Lewis.....

WE TAKE THE GLORY IN QUALI......

well if he pitted at the same time as hamilton he would have track position, and good luck overtaking vettel with our huge top speed advantage

[tifosi1993]

Yes our car is slower in race trim, but why CL had 2 stops?!?

Ferrari is desperate for Vettel to finish ahead of Leclerc in the championship. They have to justify his 50 millions/year contract.

[Arcana]

Nothing to do with strategy. Our race pace is a lot worse compared to Merc.

[FerrariF60]

Nothing to do with strategy. Our race pace is a lot worse compared to Merc.

AMEN.......

[ferrari1.8t]

:rotfl

6 laps left and Pirelli’s faster two stop still has Lec behind. The positions aren’t changing from here. Face it. Pace or no pace, Ferrari handed this victory to Hamilton. Just like dozens and dozens from the past....sad

[FerrariF60]

maybe lewis's engine will BLOW UP

[Greig]

6 laps and Pirelli’s faster two stop still has Lec behind. The positions aren’t changing from here. Face it. Pace or no pace, Ferrari handed this victory to Hamilton. Just like dozens and dozens from the past....sad


4 seconds lost in the pits....

[stefa]

This is depressing

[stefa]

maybe lewis's engine will BLOW UP

and the hell will freeze over

[paolo lalli]

Vetal has to push now.

[stefa]

Our car is just not that good. It is not in the same class. Back to the drawing board!

[ferrari1.8t]

4 seconds lost in the pits....

Wasn’t the pits, the amount of laps left was too much, they screwed him right from the first stop. Face it.

[Tifoso Svedese]

The race pace is so bad Butler is right on Vettel's gearbox so this was clearly not on. Verstappen would've won by a mile today. On lower elevation we'd been alright on this track but there are too many slow corners and our straightline advantage isn't enough. I'm out. NASCAR playoffs tonight. Won't waste my time watching the vegan "hero" and puking my guts out.

[FerrariF60]

4 seconds lost in the pits....

so instead of vet being behind lewis NOT being able to pass him.....it would have been Charles that would NOT be able to pass Lewis.....

admit it, WE DONT' HAVE THE CAR FOR RACE DAY.......we're only taking glory on saturday

[Greig]

Wasn’t the pits, the amount of laps left was too much, they screwed him right from the first stop. Face it.

Yeah giving away 4 seconds in pits and 2 in a mistake means nothing....

[tifosi1993]

4 seconds lost in the pits....

And giving him the slower 2 stop strategy. Everyone with 1-stop is ahead of him...easy to figure out which one was the fastest strategy.

Ferrari had no reason...absolutely no reason to give him the 2 stop strategy today,

[FerrariF60]

Vetal has to push now.

go back to bed make.....he's got NO car to do anything......we're just TOO SLOW IN THE RACE......ABSOLUTELY NO RACE PACE

[TonyRizza]

track position is always king, anyone who says otherwise must be blind

[Greig]

track position is always king, anyone who says otherwise must be blind

Yeah nobody has made any overtakes here....

[TonyRizza]

Yeah nobody has made any overtakes here....

when do merc or ferrari ever overtake each other?

[stefa]

As we are all here get used to that one - THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR :lol

[doublesixes]

Pitiful strategists, laughable pit mechanics. Another shameful race for Ferrari.

[tifosi1993]

Yeah nobody has made any overtakes here....

Yeah..overtaking a Mercedes is a walk in the park..

[gump1480]

No race pace at all for us. Vettel could not overtake with 15 laps fresher tire. Ferrari better make a good race car next year instead of one lap glory.

[Greig]

And giving him the slower 2 stop strategy. Everyone with 1-stop is ahead of him...easy to figure out which one was the fastest strategy.

Ferrari had no reason...absolutely no reason to give him the 2 stop strategy today,


2 stops would not have been slower though without the mistakes....lol

[ferrari1.8t]

Yeah giving away 4 seconds in pits and 2 in a mistake means nothing....

Sometimes your unbelievable. It was the wrong strategy, we turned a 1-2 into a 2-4, and in Ferrari fashion Hamilton reaps all the benefits of our poor strategy. I’m done. Nothing makes me more angry than Hamilton consistently gifted wins. See you all later

[Tifoso Svedese]

At least before this weekend I'd been surprised if we'd been within 2 secs of Mr. Vegan at the end of the race given the elevation and how twisty it is.

[stefa]

I am turning off my TV

[Tifoso]

Sadly yes :-s
Start concentrating on next season

[chinmay]

And giving him the slower 2 stop strategy. Everyone with 1-stop is ahead of him...easy to figure out which one was the fastest strategy.

Ferrari had no reason...absolutely no reason to give him the 2 stop strategy today,

Pirelli's estimate does not take into account slow pit stops, mistakes and effect on the car in dirty air.

when do merc or ferrari ever overtake each other?

yeah i'd like to know that too.....when you have two manufacturers as close as merc and ferrari hare.....TRACK POSITION IS KING

[Greig]

Sometimes your unbelievable. It was the wrong strategy, we turned a 1-2 into a 2-4, and in Ferrari fashion Hamilton reaps all the benefits of our poor strategy. I’m done. Nothing makes me more angry than Hamilton consistently gifted wins. See you all later

Mistakes made it the wrong strategy, bye bye :-)

[tifosi1993]

2 stops would not have been slower though without the mistakes....lol

Yeah 2 minor mistake = 7+ seconds gap to Mercedes.

[FerrariF60]

As we are all here get used to that one - THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR :lol

isn't that what we've been saying since 2009???

Last point, you all should turn off the tv while you still can. The Hamilton Sky fest is going to be gross...Hamilton beating the “faster Ferrari’s with cheating engines” will fill headlines for weeks. Poor Hamilton, poor us, poor F1

Then what's stopping Vettel from overtaking Hamilton...he is on much fresher tyre

The same Lec couldn’t catch up Bottas. It’s just ferrari doesn’t have pace on hards. That’s it.

Then why put Charles on slower strategy? why play gamble with the driver who was leading the race?

[TonyRizza]

:rotfl

when was the last time?

[nani_s23]

Mercs are beating Ferrari with every perfection on tyre strategy.
After summer break when ferrari started to win 3 in a row. They gave a thought let’s do the opposite of Ferrari & they are reaping the benefits.

[paolo lalli]

Vetal lost time stuck behind Albion precious seconds lost there..Could have been the difference.

[nani_s23]

Ham always damn lucky, if any contact he survives everything.

[tifosi1993]

Yeah...overtaking Hamilton and Mercedes is soooo easy....:lol

[ferrari1.8t]

You must read those headlines in your head :-)

Lol I’ll be sure to post them for you. I can guarantee you Hamilton will say his strategy was wrong and Ferrari’s were faster

[TonyRizza]

Never according to you :rotfl

[nani_s23]

It’s just mercs has better race car vs Ferrari quali car.

Bahrain comes to mind, so that puts your never claim to bed. You can make up some more points if you want though.

so a ferrari over took a merc once this year. makes sense for the team to give up track position cause we over took a merc once all year. big brain

[wappad]

2 stops would not have been slower though without the mistakes....lol

:thumb

31 points in the bag!

Forza Scuderia :clap! Next station Austin :-).

First he said, 2 stop was the faster strategy. :lol

And now he is blaming Leclerc's so called 'mistakes' for his P4 race finish, as if he was so slow that Ferrari HAD to put him on two stops...utter madness.
