I hope russell wont crash in to our guys. he can hit to perez

I've never understood this type of "mentality."

I've always understood the mentality of competing with said rival without having a mishap happening to said rival. It's more honor or grace in the win.

[WS6TransAm01]

Let’s get this over with already.

Don’t forget to vote Seb as driver of the day.

Winning is winning.

Just cause Glock got out of the way doesn’t change that it gave the Affirmative Action Champion his first boat.

Glock was on the wrong tires when it started raining. Have you seen Glock's on-board?

[Cheeseman]

Hahaha Lewis

[Greig]

Lewis better give that back.....

[458 Italia]

Bet they don't do anything.

[Greig]

Red Bull checking out already.

[Cheeseman]

Good decision

[stefa]

LH again?!?!?

[WS6TransAm01]

Love how Hamilton takes advantage by leaving the track but they investigate Carlos.

The FIA is a clown show.


Glock was on the wrong tires when it started raining. Have you seen Glock's on-board?

They were all on the same tire.

[stefa]

They are blaming CS?!?!?!?!?

[ferrari1.8t]

Hamilton being hamilton…Alonso was right, he only knows how to start and win from P1.

He should give that place back.

[jgonzalesm6]

Sainz did a Max move on Lewis on the same corner.


Lewis with an unfair advantage.

[stefa]

Red Bull untouchable!

[jgonzalesm6]

.



They were all on the same tire.

No they were not.

[Cheeseman]

Fair is fair

[Greig]

They were all on the same tire.

Glock was on dry tyres, rest on inters so no not quite the same....

[stefa]

Terrible pace by Ferrari

[WS6TransAm01]

No they were not.

They were all on slicks. No one had time to go to inters.

[Greig]

They were all on slicks. No one had time to go to inters.

You could try and be more wrong :-D

[stefa]

CS is slow

[ferrari1.8t]

Carlos clearly our #1:roll

Useless, absolutely useless.

[Greig]

Terrible pace by Ferrari

Yep we have nothing.

[jgonzalesm6]

They were all on slicks. No one had time to go to inters.

WRONG!!! Lewis changed to inters.....Glock didn't which is why he was sliding on the wet tarmac and Lewis overtook Glock on inters.

[WS6TransAm01]

You could try and be more wrong :-D

Only way to be more wrong is to be you, lovejoy.

XoXo

[stefa]

CS going backwards

[stefa]

Yep we have nothing.

No chance of podium today

[Greig]

Only way to be more wrong is to be you, lovejoy.

XoXo

Awh deflecting from your clueless posts as usual.

[458 Italia]

Ferrari so slow.

[Cheeseman]

The Ferrari traction out of corners is terrible

[WS6TransAm01]

CS going backwards

Just make the pain end.

[drax]

Charles is gaining time on Lewis, sadly not at all near Perez

[WS6TransAm01]

Awh deflecting from your clueless posts as usual.

Just copying you as the master deflector, Tinkerbell.

XoXo

[jgonzalesm6]

Ferrari tires are done already. Lap 7.

[SilverSpeed]

Sainz come on pedal to da metal mate!!!!

[Greig]

Sainz coming back to Lewis now.

[Greig]

Good job Carlos.

[Cheeseman]

Well done Sainz. Seems we had problems switching the tyres on

[stefa]

Now both Ferrari drivers are are putting some nice lap times

[ferrari1.8t]

Good job Carlos! I’m surprised….

Brundle was so quick to call this a Merc vs Red Bull race…

[stefa]

Good job Carlos! I’m surprised….

Brundle was so quick to call this a Merc vs Red Bull race…

Annoying little %$%$^&#@#

[WS6TransAm01]

lol

Lewis, Russel is faster than you. Do you understand the message.

[jgonzalesm6]

Nice move Russell on Lewis on lap 9.

[ferrari1.8t]

Now starts the sky excuse show, “what can possibly be wrong with our poor baby”? Let’s talk about Hamilton’s poor performance for the next hour.

[stefa]

Now both Ferrari's are putting some decent lap times

[stefa]

lol

Lewis, Russel is faster than you. Do you understand the message.
:rotfl

[WS6TransAm01]

Who’s going to cause the Safety Car at the end to manufacture a more exciting finish this year?

[jgonzalesm6]

Sainz disagrees with pitwall........good call Sainz.

[FerrariF60]

Who’s going to cause the Safety Car at the end to manufacture a more exciting finish this year?

My money is on latifi again....lol

[Cheeseman]

I wonder what our brilliant strategists are planning to take Checo on?

[stefa]

LH crying

[ferrari1.8t]

Leclerc catching Perez. 1.6 second gap…

[ferrari1.8t]

Leclerc catching Perez. 1.6 second gap…

[WS6TransAm01]

Charles has halfed the gap to Sergio.

Even more so. 1.3s down from 3.

[WS6TransAm01]

Charles has halfed the gap to Sergio.

Even more so. 1.3s down from 3.

[stefa]

CL flying

[stefa]

SP pit

[Cheeseman]

Terrible out lap by Perez. We have a chance here

[WS6TransAm01]

Seb helping out Charles by keeping Sergio behind.

I like it.

[Greig]

Should be a penalty for Russell also.

[Cheeseman]

Terrible out lap by Perez. Good chance for us

[ferrari1.8t]

Mercedes botching a pit stop to get hamilton ahead of him lol.

[stefa]

SP is gaining 1.5 sec on CL

[Cheeseman]

We should have pit charles first. Losing time to Perez now

[458 Italia]

The midfield only defends against red cars.

[drax]

Are we just stopping once with Charles ?

[ferrari1.8t]

Ferrari screwing Charles again. Why pit Saniz first? Perez had a poor outlap, we had a chance to get ahead. I don’t know what they are thinking

[WS6TransAm01]

At this point Charles may come out after Carlos.

[Cheeseman]

Maybe Vassuer can stop all this bad strategy nonsense

[stefa]

GR 5 sec penalty

[Greig]

Ferrari screwing Charles again. Why pit Saniz first? Perez had a poor outlap, we had a chance to get ahead. I don’t know what they are thinking

Ferrari are thinking about P2 in the WCC.

[stefa]

Ferrari screwing Charles again. Why pit Saniz first? Perez had a poor outlap, we had a chance to get ahead. I don’t know what they are thinking

:Hmm

[WS6TransAm01]

Maybe Vassuer can stop all this bad strategy nonsense

Binotto said it was a false rumor… quoted in another thread.

[ferrari1.8t]

Ferrari doing everything to make sure Saniz finishes ahead of Charles. It’s so obvious….what a complete joke this team is

[Cheeseman]

It was a good opportunity missed against Perez

[stasera]

they destroyed leclerc again, again and again

[brucewayne]

Let’s wait though. Perez will have worse tyres at the end

[ferrari1.8t]

Let’s wait though. Perez will have worse tyres at the end

Verstappen will keep close to give him drs, or stick himself between Charles and Perez.

[Greig]

It was a good opportunity missed against Perez

Let's see how it plays out at the end though....no point to take position now if it ruins your pace for the end of the race.

[drax]

I honestly don’t think they have destroyed anything Charles can push more now and have fresher tires than the Bulls at the end

[WS6TransAm01]

Charles is slowly gaining on Sergio.

Very slowly but still more than half a race left.

I have faith in Charles. No faith in Ferrari, but faith in him.

[stefa]

CL is slowly taking time of SP

[ferrari1.8t]

Charles is slowly gaining on Sergio.

Very slowly but still more than half a race left.

I have faith in Charles. No faith in Ferrari, but faith in him.

Have faith, have faith that Charles will do all he can to come second and Ferrari will do all they can to screw it up for him ahah.

[stefa]

Let's see how it plays out at the end though....no point to take position now if it ruins your pace for the end of the race.

Agree. This is marathon, not 100m sprint race

[WS6TransAm01]

Have faith, have faith that Charles will do all he can to come second and Ferrari will do all they can to screw it up for him ahah.

Basically. Yes. lol

[patrese86]

Charles improving now and his tyres a little fresher. If Perez pits again will be interesting to see wether we stay out on the hards.

[Greig]

Alonso DNF.

[stefa]

CL last ap was 0.6 faster than MV and SP

[Greig]

FL Charles, Ferrari really screwing him over though.....

[stefa]

CL FL

[WS6TransAm01]

Charles gets an FL.

[stefa]

CS is also doing some fast lap times

[Cheeseman]

Let's see how it plays out at the end though....no point to take position now if it ruins your pace for the end of the race.

Fair enough. Charles is flying again. Seems like it takes us a few laps to get heat in the tyres

[ferrari1.8t]

Charles pulling fastest laps. Silence from Sky. Ahaha

[Greig]

Charles pulling fastest laps. Silence from Sky. Ahaha

They just spoke about how he was catching....maybe you missed it.

[brucewayne]

Lol Checo man up

[ferrari1.8t]

Max helping Charles? Lol

[ferrari1.8t]

They just spoke about how he was catching....maybe you missed it.

Delay on my TV. Just heard it!

[Cheeseman]

We might need that 1 point for fastest lap. It might become quite important later on

[stefa]

CL is just 1.3 sec behind SP

[stefa]

SP PIT

[Cheeseman]

Charles needs to put a mighty lap in now

[FerrariF60]

So is CL gonna pit again, or go to the end on these tires

[Greig]

1 stop for Charles then by sounds of it.

[WS6TransAm01]

I don’t think the win is on the cards.

I feel Charles should have covered Sergio instead. Hmmmm

[FerrariF60]

1 stop for Charles then by sounds of it.

Let’s hope he’ll have some tires left in the final laps to defend Checo

[Greig]

Let’s hope he’ll have some tires left in the final laps to defend Checo

He has to pass Carlos also...

[FerrariF60]

I don’t think the win is on the cards.

I feel Charles should have covered Sergio instead. Hmmmm


We’re nit going for the win, it seems we’re much better in the had tires....so we’re trying the ONE STOP

[drax]

Do we have a set of new mediums ?

[stefa]

Are we stopping again?!

[Cheeseman]

Latifi loves a good crash in Abu Dhabi

[WS6TransAm01]

We’re nit going for the win, it seems we’re much better in the had tires....so we’re trying the ONE STOP

It’s the more dangerous play….

[Greig]

Are we stopping again?!

Don't think so.

[stefa]

No! We are pitting. CS just pitted

[Greig]

Sainz in

[Greig]

We should pit Charles this ain't gonna work.

[stefa]

S2 is killing us

[jgonzalesm6]

Amazing how Lewis's car has fixed itelf......:roll

first loss of power....then a broken floor.......now everything is fine.

[stefa]

We should pit Charles this ain't gonna work.

I am afraid not it little bit too late

[brucewayne]

Will we switch to mediums? What is the plan?

[Cheeseman]

We should have covered Perez when we had the chance

[ferrari1.8t]

Amazing how Lewis's car has fixed itelf......:roll

first loss of power....then a broken floor.......now everything is fine.

All excuses, can’t handle being beaten by a teammate so it must be a car problem right? The guy is the biggest actor in F1.

[stefa]

CL lap times are similar to V

[FerrariF60]

We should have covered Perez when we had the chance

Yeah, don’t think the one stopper is working for CL

[Cheeseman]

If they're gping to pit charles they have to do it now. It takes a few laps for us to get the tyres working

[WS6TransAm01]

Sergio is a hot 10s behind Charles. If we don’t stop soon, Charles has no chance.

[drax]

Don’t know if this is going to work

[Greig]

Sergio is a hot 10s behind Charles. If we don’t stop soon, Charles has no chance.

Not like you to care about 2nd place......strange.

[drax]

Unless we are planning for a final soft stint I don’t see how this is going to work

[FerrariF60]

Sergio is a hot 10s behind Charles. If we don’t stop soon, Charles has no chance.

Yup, we’re done like dinner

[WS6TransAm01]

Not like you to care about 2nd place......strange.

I don’t. Charles does. I care about the kid.

[brucewayne]

Yeah we missed the sweet spot again I think

[ferrari1.8t]

Its over for Charles. His tires will fall off and he will not only lose 2nd, he will lose the podium to Carlos. Ferrari at it again

[Greig]

Charles does not think he can come back if they pit, Ferrari think he will be overtaken.

[FerrariF60]

Soft tires for CL

[Greig]

Its over for Charles. His tires will fall off and he will not only lose 2nd, he will lose the podium to Carlos. Ferrari at it again

They did ask him if he could make it work and he said yeah....

[tifosi1993]

Rueda at it again

[brucewayne]

Our strategy was good, but we lost the way at the middle of the race again. Why does this not suprise me?

[Cheeseman]

Lol Lewis might be our friend today

[ferrari1.8t]

They did ask him if he could make it work and he said yeah....

They have the data in front of them, they should have covered Perez. They are absolutely useless. Stop defending them.

[Greig]

Lewis bit of payback to Perez for last year lol

[stefa]

And they did it again!?!? This guys at Ferrari pit wall are PROVEN AMATEUR CLOWNS!!!!

[FerrariF60]

They did ask him if he could make it work and he said yeah....

What was CL thinking, he should know by now that the Ferrari is a TIRE EATING MACHINE

[gump1480]

Only hope for us is LH

[WS6TransAm01]

Need Sergio to get desperate and take out Hamilton.

Win win.

[Greig]

They have the data in front of them, they should have covered Perez. They are absolutely useless. Stop defending them.

Stop attacking them for no reason.

[brucewayne]

What was CL thinking, he should know by now that the Ferrari is a TIRE EATING MACHINE

At this pace…it’s the task of the strategists to make this work

[Cheeseman]

It's going to very tight at the end. No point pitting now, we'll lose more

[tifosi1993]

Pathetic strategy. Clowns. Just throw these lots from a cliff

[FerrariF60]

At this pace…it’s the task of the strategists to make this work

What strategists, we have a bunch of clowns running that department

[ferrari1.8t]

I will call them out for their stupidity. We have a Mercedes ahead of us, and we have Perez gaining on Leclerc. It didn’t have to be this way.

[drax]

1 sec per lap, it’s going to be very hard

[WS6TransAm01]

If Charles keeps P2 it will be in spite of the strategy and not because of it.

[stefa]

What strategists, we have a bunch of clowns running that department

Again, and again and again! I can't believe?!?! How come they don't learn?

[Riccardog]

giving cs first pit stop yet again reflects that he is favoured in the team, shocking

[tifosi1993]

Come on you ******* clowns, how many ******* are you gonna make :furious

[Greig]

I will call them out for their stupidity. We have a Mercedes ahead of us, and we have Perez gaining on Leclerc. It didn’t have to be this way.

P2 in the WCC was the aim today, not P2 for Charles, I note you don't care a thing about Carlos getting ahead of Lewis in the WDC weirdly.

[FerrariF60]

I will call them out for their stupidity. We have a Mercedes ahead of us, and we have Perez gaining on Leclerc. It didn’t have to be this way.

At this pace we’re gonna lose p2 in both championships

[Cheeseman]

Sainz didn't do much with his new tyres

[Greig]

At this pace we’re gonna lose p2 in both championships

No we are not.

[FerrariF60]

P2 in the WCC was the aim today, not P2 for Charles, I note you don't care a thing about Carlos getting ahead of Lewis in the WDC weirdly.


Tell that to Charles he seems to care about P2 in wdc

[Greig]

Tell that to Charles he seems to care about P2 in wdc

I am sure he does but he does not run Ferrari.....

[jgonzalesm6]

At this pace we’re gonna lose p2 in both championships

Mercedes is 19 points behind....fyi.

[stefa]

Why can't CS push and get LH?!?!?

[FerrariF60]

I am sure he does but he does not run Ferrari.....

True but Ferrari let him down big time this season...sure he made some mistakes of his own but Ferrari have fudged it big time

[ferrari1.8t]

Why can't CS push and get LH?!?!?

I’m wondering the same thing…

[Cheeseman]

To be fair, Perez isn't taking that much out of Charles

[Greig]

6 laps 6 seconds, not enough for Perez at this pace.

[stefa]

To be fair, Perez isn't taking that much out of Charles

Yeah... Let it be like that

[WS6TransAm01]

7 laps. 6 seconds.

Come on Charles. Come on kiddo!

[Greig]

Black and White flag for Lewis, come on Carlos pressure him.

[drax]

6 laps, 6 secs it’s going to close

[stefa]

6 laps 6 seconds, not enough for Perez at this pace.

I am not sure

[FerrariF60]

If By any miracles CL gets P2 in wdc it will be due to his amazing drive

[ferrari1.8t]

Ironically, if we keep p2 it’s because of hamilton battling Perez.

[Greig]

8 tenths lost that lap

[FerrariF60]

Ironically, if we keep p2 it’s because of hamilton battling Perez.

Yup totally

[WS6TransAm01]

5 laps.

4.5 seconds.

[Greig]

Carlos can get Lewis.

[Greig]

4 to go 4 seconds, gonna be hard for Charles.

[stefa]

Unfortunately I think CL will lose position to SP at last lap

[Greig]

Lewis out

[458 Italia]

Martin sounds gutted :rotfl

[stefa]

W gambled and it didn't turn red....

[drax]

P2 assured in the WCC

[Cheeseman]

I have faith in Charles. Come on son!

[Greig]

P2 secured :-D

[Cheeseman]

Martin sounds gutted :rotfl

Yeah Crofty is in bits

[WS6TransAm01]

2 laps to go. 2 seconds.

[stefa]

P2 assured in the WCC


P2 secured :-D

:thumb

[Cheeseman]

Charles has got this

[stefa]

Last lap

[Greig]

Charles has it under control.

[tifosi1993]

What a talent you're Charles. With the right team and the car you will dominate.

[drax]

Common !!!!

[drax]

Double P2 great race, great strategy

[stefa]

GREAT JOB CL!!!!

[tifosi1993]

WELL DONE CHARLES

[Cheeseman]

Well done Charles!!

[stefa]

Please, Ferrari learn from this season and give this kid car and strategy, and he'll deliver!!!!

[Greig]

Red Bull masterclass strategy :-D but the "fans" on here will still be little whiny kids :-D

[drax]

Strategy was very good

[WS6TransAm01]

This kid is the real deal. He just needs the team to step up.

[Greig]

This kid is the real deal. He just needs the team to step up.

Without his mistakes then there would be no battle with Perez....wah wah team to blame.

[stefa]

Red Bull masterclass strategy :-D but the "fans" on here will still be little whiny kids :-D

To be fair, strategy from Red Bull was masterclass, just SP is mediocre driver!

[jgonzalesm6]

Way to go Leclerc!! P2!!

[patrese86]

Great job Charles!! Deserved P2

Right strategy from the team and deserve credit. Some of you should hang your heads still trying to take credit away when it's been a good day. It's like you want the team to mess up and are angry when they don't.

[Greig]

To be fair, strategy from Red Bull was masterclass, just SP is mediocre driver!

Ahhahaha could imagine your comments if it was Charles finishing 3rd after being 2nd.....

[jgonzalesm6]

Without his mistakes then there would be no battle with Perez....wah wah team to blame.

Both the team and driver have made mistakes. It's not solely on the driver.

[Greig]

Carlos gets Lewis too I think, but nobody cares about that here.

[stefa]

Ahhahaha could imagine your comments if it was Charles finishing 3rd after being 2nd.....
?!?!

[Hornet]

What an amazing drive by Charles, wow, this felt like a race win :-D

Its nice to keep that P2. Well done

[stefa]

Both the team and driver have made mistakes. It's not solely on the driver.
Exactly!

[tifosi1993]

Of course Vettel will get the DOTD, but Charles is the real DOTD.

[Greig]

?!?!

Red Bull cost Perez 2nd, and you call it masterclass hahaha

[SilverSpeed]

P2 and WCC P2

We are improving hehe. :-P

[stefa]

Red Bull cost Perez 2nd, and you call it masterclass hahaha


To be fair strategy is two part equation. One is what computer says and the other part id on driver to deliver.

[Greig]

Charles praising the team, stone him!!!!!

[Cheeseman]

Max beeing booed lol. Lewis must have a few fans in the stand

[stefa]

Red Bull cost Perez 2nd, and you call it masterclass hahaha

Anyway no one remembers 2nd place in any sport...

[tifosi1993]

Chrales made this race himself, done an incredible job with the first stint by going longer and keeping up the pace. But he/Ferrari took an unnecessary gamble, he was less than a second behind Perez at the 1st stint.

He had more than enough pace to go for the undercut and keep Perez behind.

[Greig]

Anyway no one remembers 2nd place in any sport...

Awh you angry now that you don't get to rage at the pitwall....

[stefa]

Awh you angry now that you don't get to rage at the pitwall....

:lou

[tifosi1993]

Charles praising the team, stone him!!!!!

Yeah, this team deserves all the praise in the world. RB strategists should be thrown under bus for costing Perez P2, doesn't matter even if they're the champion!

[WS6TransAm01]

Without his mistakes then there would be no battle with Perez....wah wah team to blame.

The team is to blame for the overall season standings. He didn’t build the engine components than failed, he didn’t make the terrible strategy calls. If anything his mistakes are due to having to over compensate for the mistakes of the team. So again, the teams fault.

Give it up sugarlips.

XOXO

[paneristi]

Carlos gets Lewis too I think, but nobody cares about that here.

SAI over HAM.
LEC over PER.
SF over MB.

[tifosi1993]

Yeah, let's forget, Baku, Spain, Monaco, Canada, Silverstone and Hungary while keep on highlighting France....:lol

Typical ultras. Ferrari can't be blamed for anything, it's always driver's fault.

[FerrariF60]

Without his mistakes then there would be no battle with Perez....wah wah team to blame.

You wanna go there?.? Without the team crappy strategy calls and with a better more reliable engine this kid would have had a shot at the WDC....so there put that in your pipe and smoke it

[nani_s23]

Great drive by Leclerc. He made the race himself. Stellar performance.
Reminded me of Seb against Bottas -> Bahrain GP.

P2 in WDC & P2 in WCC. Ok for now.

Expecting strong performance next year. Need a WDC title with Leclerc.

[paneristi]

To be fair, strategy from Red Bull was masterclass, just SP is mediocre driver!

I disagree this time. Won my bet (although it was hair raising)

[nani_s23]

Great drive by Leclerc. He made the race himself. Stellar performance.
Reminded me of Seb against Bottas -> Bahrain GP.

P2 in WDC & P2 in WCC. Ok for now.

Expecting strong performance next year. Need a WDC title with Leclerc.

[Greig]

Yeah, let's forget, Baku, Spain, Monaco, Canada, Silverstone and Hungary while keep on highlighting France....:lol

Typical ultras. Ferrari can't be blamed for anything, it's always driver's fault.

You only ever blame the team, fact is Charles has made mistakes as much as the team.

[patrese86]

Yeah, let's forget, Baku, Spain, Monaco, Canada, Silverstone and Hungary while keep on highlighting France....:lol

Typical ultras. Ferrari can't be blamed for anything, it's always driver's fault.

There needs to be balance though. You can smell the dissapointment in here that Ferrari didn't throw it away due to poor decisions from the wall.

[Greig]

You wanna go there?.? Without the team crappy strategy calls and with a better more reliable engine this kid would have had a shot at the WDC....so there put that in your pipe and smoke it

Would have still been P2, no answer to Max.

[ferrari1.8t]

Congratulations to Charles, Mega drive!

Congratulations to Ferrari, holding on to P2 in the constructors.

Congratulations to Saniz for passing an ailing Hamilton…

And thanks to Hamilton for holding up Perez and for breaking down lol

[F2008]

In retrospect, it probably wasn't the best strategy, but fortunately Perez is not in the same league as Charles.
At least Ferrari were committed to their plan.
Hopefully they will make the necessary changes for next season.

[patrese86]

Looking forward to next season anyway...

If the rumours are true and we have much more to come from the engine. We have to find a way to not kill the tyres in the race, that should be the big focus for next season.

Tyre management was okay today surprisingly

[FerrariF60]

Would have still been P2, no answer to Max.

We would never know, but I don’t agree with you....I think he’s got ALL IT TAKES to beat max in wdc if he had a reliable machinery and some spot on strategy team

[stefa]

Great drive by Leclerc. He made the race himself. Stellar performance.
Reminded me of Seb against Bottas -> Bahrain GP.

P2 in WDC & P2 in WCC. Ok for now.

Expecting strong performance next year. Need a WDC title with Leclerc.

Just to add I expect Ferrari CWC

[FerrariF60]

Just to add I expect Ferrari CWC

This....fir me WCC is what matters most...wdc is a bonus

[stefa]

This....fir me WCC is what matters most...wdc is a bonus
:clap

[tifosi1993]

You only ever blame the team, fact is Charles has made mistakes as much as the team.

I guess with age, you're losing your memory.

Never blamed the team or Binotto without any cause, always defended them. But I can't ignore what happened this year, the display of sheer incompetence from Binotto and the pit wall.

I'm not a fanatic, and only a fanatic will defend this pitwall and our model TP.

[Greig]

We would never know, but I don’t agree with you....I think he’s got ALL IT TAKES to beat max in wdc if he had a reliable machinery and some spot on strategy team

Max did not have any issues this year?

Pathetic strategy. Clowns. Just throw these lots from a cliff

:lol

Charles even said after the race they had to beat Checo by a different strategy, he agreed to the 1 stop, but now you are unhappy it worked out.....

And? :lol

2 stopper enabled Sainz to get Ham. Same would've happened with Charles, without the nail-baiting part.

well done leclerc. he fought against ferrari and checo perez. and he won

if you want to make leclerc one pit then why you take sainz from perez's way? can anyone tell me that? we saw that how perez lost times against hamilton. sainz could have been done this against checo. but our high IQ team took sainz into pit and they cleaned perez's way. wow incredible

Not what Charles thought but ah well. Ham was not driving a Red Bull....
