What depressing race for Vettel.

If i was Merc I would leave George and get Lando for when Lewis retires.

There. I said it.

Idk who should get the seat but Russell today didn’t impress me at all with his crash talent is obviously there but you can’t do that shyt

So is Williams like a development team for Mercedes or something?

 

[CBSkyline]

The power of the sports press is something else. They got the full legal defense team out to defend they boy Rus

Jesus. Max won and these Reddit clowns still mad about the GOAT's recovery drive. I swear it's always something with them.

No. But Mercedes is their engine provider. It's a bit of a partnership. And some of Merc's junior drivers debut with Williams to cut their teeth before the possible jump to a top team. Williams used to be a top team themselves though. They're trying to rebuild.

Should stoke the flames talmbout anyone can win in the fastest car . Put Mazepin in the Red Bull and he could be world champion . He nearly threw it away on the red flag restart with no pressure on him.. Brundle highlighted that he started the race in second gear which facilitated his good start as if that's not a decision made by the engineers based on how the car behaves under different grip conditions.

GR better calm down. He was interviewing with Ziggo Sport and said “Bottas would not have done that to another driver.”

Yeah. Leclerc really let an opportunity go by not taking that position when Max went off track. Instead he slowed down, and that allowed Max to maintain position. That wouldn't have counted as an overtake the way it did for Perez.

Will he want to leave if McLaren is on an upward trajectory?

Wouldn't you as long as Mercedes stays Mercedes?

No they buy their low tier engines

True but Mercedes may not maintain forever.

No they buy their low tier engines

Customer engines are the same as the works engines. Williams just haven't been producing good cars.

Funniest thing I've read today was that Hamilton should've been black flagged for reversing

Apparently he broke the rules, even though he only rule about reversing in the rules book applies to the pit lane.

Hamilton hate runs deep.
