lol, Mercedes pit Hamilton ridiculous early so he's at disadvantage (tyre has to do more laps) in order to let Bottas win this race? lol

raining lol

maybe this could spice things up or........no

What a boring race! thought Ricciardo would give Verstappen some hard time, but only managed to follow 2s gap...
Vettel got Fastest Lap on penultimate lap, why not drive faster earlier on to challenge Hamilton?
Bottas 5th, pretty much sum-up his driving quality of this season... behind top drivers, maybe on-par of Kimi, but Kimi is better having won a race this season, haha.

well nice to see 3 world champ doing donut together

but i have a feeling alonso is not done yet with F1 just waiting a opportunity lol

Boring end to the anti climatic season. Was hoping for the rain but nothing, was hoping Ric to give some fireworks to Max but nothing, was hoping for Alonso to finish at least on the points but nothing, all despite actually quite many overtaking in the race but overtaking that meant nothing much too.

Dont think any unknown teams can challenge mercedes superiority even adrian newey best brain also cannot beat mercedes

Haha still F2 is just support racing

Only watch repeats when i 2 bored at home

Honda VTEC-powered Red Bull next year may be? Who knows if Honda sorted out the huge power deficit and with Newey's best chassis and Verstappen's bravery overtaking, they may challenge the sole Hamilton-led Mercedes Team. Haha

pls bring Ocon for 2019...love the rivalry against Max...Valteri needs sabbatical year

Alex Albon joining Toro Rosso for next year (well deserved after good performances in F2) & Mick Schumacher going to F2. Quite a surprise after his Formula E announcement but then this is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

So many changes to driver line up next year maybe we can see something fresh but the racing will more or less the same lol

i hope theres a montage of f1 2018 season in the upcoming fia gala...kinda miss the old fia gala videos in youtube

Hopefully can be more exciting coz got more young new drivers who might still be rough around the edges. 😁

Almighty Ferrari dominated the 2 days testing. Next year Leclerc vs Vettel? Mercedes and Red Bull so far off pace almost 2 second behind.

In 3 decades following F1, there's 1 thing that I certainly have learned: never read too much into the off season tests! 😁

Exactly. Also, this test using 2018 version cars. Not gonna mean much for 2019. Teams are probably collecting a lot of tyre data only.

Mercedes met setback on engine development:

I think they have innovation bottleneck, no answer to beat Ferrari's PU

Hmm Seb is getting more pathetic, seems like keep trying to shift the blame of the title loss to the team/car:

While Kimi just enjoying himself and keep having fun!

Also so pathetic of Wolf to state Bottas unfortunate role as wingman while he forgot that actually Bottas did bounce back in Russia but WOLF himself smacked him down again by the unnecessary team order! Who would have known how Bottas will perform afterwards if he kept his win fair and square, maybe he wouldn't be as down as he was (remember Massa after "Fernando is faster than you" in Germany?).

Ferrari might need to hire psychologists for Vettel. He sometimes crumble under pressure. Being a racing driver isn't all quick & skill.

Verstappen has spoken, he Vettel Alonso Ricciardo will be world champion if they are driving Mercedes. Now this is not a car problem, it's psychology belief trusting the brand ala driving a Mercedes will give you have best PU and team mindset. Used to be the case for Ferrari but no longer anymore...
