Most boring race got even more boring...

They realized too late. If they realized earlier that Lewis can go all the way and push him from way earlier, I doubt Lewis can keep it.

It was Magnussen. I'm surprised that Magnussen driven so badly today given how he qualified yesterday.

Unfortunately Monaco is getting harder to pass. Previous years, I think Leclerc would still made it into top 5. However not with today's car. I think track design need to change but most importantly the tires shouldn't really produce so much marbles.

They're times when he overreact but in this instance, I think I would give him the benefit of doubt. It was pretty clear from before the restart, Merc messed up. They somehow ended with medium out of sync with everyone else which is mesmerising.

Botta already losing out with Max unsafe release but they had enough time for a free stop to rectify their mistake. The strategist got it wrong unfortunately... but luckily for them, it was just enough to cover up their mistake.

The problem is with Vettel. I'm not sure what has gone through his mind but it's clear that he has not been his usual self this season. It seems like he has gone into the same mode when DR first joined RBR.

Nothing beats mother nature when it comes to F1 racing.

I wonder why are we moving to desert, city to enjoy boring races. Races should be on hills, seasides where mother nature is unpredictable.

Why pancut so early? Relax and enjoy the race. Despite SV 2nd place finish, I think he's still being haunted by Charles's existence. He's not battling Lewis, he's battling Charles.

Different location... like that also can compare? Hamilton spun at both location Charles and Botta crashed and still in the race. Who's talking now?

That would be another category like Death Race liao...

First of all, the circuit needs gravel traps like today. A couple of them got beached. Secondly they need unpredictable weather like Brazil, Hockenheim, Malaysia, etc. Lastly they need to get rid of the fame circuit designer. His design may be a real test for car but also become a problem when cars having trouble following each other for a prolonged period of time. I think most of his designs are rubbish for wheel to wheel racing except Malaysia where the 2 long straights really provide a lot of overtaking plus our very own unpredictable weather.

Mercedes finally did something special. Reminds us of the golden era when Schumi pits 4 times.

I think you're undermining Max too much. He has matured a lot since his debut. That's why he's driving the car out of mind compared to Gasly.

Unfortunately, I think new R&R or not, they just have to dumb down the sport in order to make it interesting.

First of all, cars are getting overly technical. Ground effect, KERS, diffusers, etc.

Secondly, they need to get rid of the electronics that assist drivers.

Lastly, they should reintroduce refuelling. Although slow car will still be slow at the end of the gp, but some of these dare devils will mess up some of the front runners day at crucial stage of the GP.

Engine power has always been Mercedes upper hand but it's the tires that dictate how fast you're going.

Mistakes? As in?

Lewis attack on Charles is brilliant. It's entertaining even without overtaking.

LoL

Lewis not going to win regardless. You're over thinking.

Are you sure you're referring to the right car? Lewis only mistake was when his medium is almost gone. He's driving brilliantly, only losing out because lacking top speed.

It's a good race. However this is also why F1 is going downhill.

When the tires didn't play the biggest role, it is really hard to follow, let alone overtake. In all honesty, F1 is killing itself despite I'm happy to listen to the Italian national anthem. It's time to reduce down force and instead let them have better tires to race.

If Lewis did overtook Charles (during the incident which the Ferrari was given black and white flag), I think he would have won. Mercedes sacrifice top speed for better drive and it could be seen how Lewis was able to stick to the back of that Ferrari. It could be seen clearly the Ferrari was quick in that final corner and straight only.
