last minute dramas and stuff was a great race to watch..

well done to Hamilton and Merc' that sort things out clearly.. i clearly understand how team work really works on.. while watching other drivers onboard cameras, there were moments that engineers were talking on the corners.. but not between Bono and Hamilton.. perfect timing each time.. you dont really win this much without highly concentrated tons of people.. great drivers and team witnessing a history really..

felt bad for Ferraris and interestingly the contact happened when they were side to side already perfectly.. Vettel already lost few places before that corner and you start the race the further back you want to cover asap.. for second it was looking like a good attack since there were big gap to going to and sneak out.. didnt work.. cant understand how Ferrari struggles this much.. its great to see Leclerc take full responsibility not like a 4 times world champion blaming the TV helicopter, or the color of the grass on the mountains.. thats why Leclerc is a real champion material.. full support for him..

Red Bulls were looking down on race pace today and i guess its more like a reason why today wasnt that hot.. Mercs perform much better in cooler conditions.. Albon was a bit lost today which was a bit weird but he again made contact with someone.. Perez is not an aggressive overtaker.. wast a bit weird incident that was and again includes Albon..

im glad Stroll boy didnt crash into Ricciardo really.. there were moments that he was so hesitant and can cause him crash into Ric.. but i guess he made something humanish at least and didnt pass Perez on the finish line..

McLarens.. oh yeah those guys are on fire this year at least were on A1, and cant imagine the positive environment right now in the team.. Lando such a new generation super fast and sincere guy.. i guess all that online gaming pays of on such moments like this.. he so young but he s great in will to will battles.. no drama, no stress all good.. GG Lando!!!

and for after race part.. please and please someone take the interview area a bit further from the cars.. cant understand why they push for such a thing really.. those coolers make communication way too hard.. such and uncomfortable talks they re having in a moment we all want their feedback really.. and it was funny to watch Christian Horner passing by Hamilton like he was walking to the kitchen in the night to take some water while ceremony was ending..

Brundle speculated on the broadcast he might have been instructed to turn the engine down (+ lift and coast) to prevent a double DNF.

A gap? Are you watching the same race? 😂 Do you know how the racing line is through T3 to say there was a gap? Or the big bump at the apex? Man some fans can be delusional sometimes 😂😂😂 that's what online racing did to Charlie boy.

Mr YCO doesn't really pay attention to track width and topography much like Lecrash. Arguing that Vettel crashed into Lecrash in Brazil not knowing that the track narrows on the right side at the marshal post in reta oposta and now thinks the far right going into T3 in Redbullring is a "gap" 😂😂😂 Hatred really makes you blind my friend.

[msk340i]

Here is a picture of the track narrowing on the right side to justify Vettel leaning left when Lecrash steered right. This should settle the argument for good. Please don't give me any bullshit.

a row behind was turning the same corner as 3 cars side to side as well.. in front with different order in 3 as well.. that was an optimistic attack Leclerc did which didnt work and he took the full responsibility like a real racer.. i cant understand you guys point.. he apologized and things are moving on already.. or if you guys just trying to cover up Vettel's last 2 years with this crash good luck with that..

pause at 0:05 and you can see the wide open door..



and he was already following the trail of the car in front.. so it wasnt a kamikaze dive.. a misfortunate action Leclerc took and he apologized already..

and Brazil's straight.. are you guys joking? he was getting away from the line towards left already when that crash happened.. there was a 1.5 car width gap on the right from Vettel.. track narrowing d be in discussion if Leclerc pushed him off the road and he didnt.. Vettel had more space than he ever needed before the crash and pushing Leclerc for more..

and above all.. if you guys dont like Leclerc, its your call of course and its a bit dreary cause he s one of the best out there on the grid and he ll keep beating 4 WDC Vettel until his last race in Ferrari.. you ll get used to him in following years anyways.. if not, it ll be a problem for you like Hamilton does for you guys.. cheers..

1) Yes a whole row was turning but the only one who crashed is Charlie boi. That point doesn't help your argument at all.
2) Attack from a real racer? Lol... In Destruction Derby maybe
3) he apologized to the team and said it wasn't Vettel's fault. He didn't apologize to Vettel for fucking up his race.

Regarding Brazil, when everything is moving at 180mph that constriction in the track comes to you pretty fast and you have to move ahead of it but Charlie boi probably forgot how the track goes like you forgot how T3's apex makes the car jump and like he forgot to brake today.

"Red Bull "just too slow" to fight Mercedes" !


Max Verstappen says Red Bull is "a bit too slow", after being unable to stop Lewis Hamilton storming to victory in the Formula 1 Styrian Grand Prix.

The Dutchman had high hopes of being able to challenge pole position man Hamilton thanks to his front row start, but was never able to threaten the reigning world champion's Mercedes and eventually finished third.

Having sat around five seconds adrift for much of the afternoon, he dropped further away after picking up damage to his front wing end-plate after his pitstop.

This helped Hamilton's Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas to overhaul him late in the race, although Verstappen managed to briefly re-pass the Finn at Turn 6 when Bottas made his first attempt at a move at Turn 4.

Speaking after the race, Verstappen welcomed a podium finish after his retirement from last week's Austrian Grand Prix with an electrical fault in his power unit, but said the race had been "boring" due to the Red Bull's lack of pace relative to the Mercedes.

"I tried but we are a bit too slow," he said about his battle with Hamilton.

"I did what I could also when Valtteri passed me.

"I tried to make it a bit difficult, because he was anyway going to get by one lap later.

"But at least it was a bit fun because the race was boring.

"[The] podium was good but still a lot of work to do."

Verstappen explained that Red Bull is lagging behind Mercedes with both its chassis and engine, as he reckoned more work was needed if the team was going to close the gap.

"I was just pushing as hard as I could to stay with them, but clearly it is still not good enough," he said.

"The gap compared to the guys behind were massive, I was a bit shocked.

"I tried everything I could, but it's still not enough.

"To bounce back from zero points last week to a podium now is a good start, but I think as a team we want to win and we want to fight for the championship.

"If you want to fight for the championship of course you need to win races."

He added: "We need to look into it. I think we lose quite a bit on the straight as well, so it's a bit of both at the moment.

"We need to keep on working harder to try and close the gap."

Just saw it, I confirm Lecrash is mr.idiot of the GP,it was a suicide move and Coulthard using his imaginary 'racing incident' card again.

With what Christian was saying I'm sure soon that no.3 on Max's trophy will soon read 1st.

[M5Rick]

That was fantastic from Max! Fighting Bottas denying him second until DAS advantage finally gets him through and Max saying drivability out of corners was getting worse. I guess the Merc brake disc unglazed itself
Not for nothing Max has the LION on his helmet.
