LOL!!!

well kimi will still be in ferrari 2019

vettel wiped out bottas 5sec penalty, kimi spun hamilton get 10 lol

i guess gotta please the home crowd

I think the accident lifted Hamilton. He's flying... haven't seen him this spirited in a long time.

the merc is heaps faster than the rest by a big margin, i can see any of the RB and ferrari steaming thru all of them easily as well

look at previous race, everyone got lapped until grosjean and he finish 4th

the top 3 teams is way way faster

this should be juicy

the sauber is destroyed

and grosjean and sainz crashed

looks like bottas will get this win

Best 10laps of the old F1

damn that was the best 10 laps in F1 for such a long time

what a fight at the front, this is what we wanna watch

Kimi probably needed another 2 laps to overtake Ham, and no doubt team orders to let Ham pass Bottas

wtf hamilton just walk off from interview in front of his fans and home race

bottas tyres are shot

too bad ric even on faster tyre cant overtake bottas

superbbbb race!!!

usually stop watching after a few lap

why mercedes not pitting hamilton for soft tyre

So Mercedes sacrifice bottas to give Hamilton a shot at winning by holding back vettel. (my pov)

LOL!!!

Coz Hamilton tires were still relatively new too. If they pitted him, he would be further behind and would not be able to overtake coz the Ferraris were also on new tires. By not pitting, he is at least ahead of 1 Ferrari, so that was the right call.

Hmm not really true as well, coz actually Mercs go for the only chance of winning by not pitting Bottas, gambling that he would have enough tires to fend off Seb. If they pitted him, again similar case like with Ham whereby he would end up further behind and cannot overtake the 2 Ferraris with also new tires. He might be even behind Ric.

Well that's their frustration talking. Instead of making accusations like that, they should figure out how to do better starts in the future because both incidents happened due to them not starting as well as the Ferraris and got punted!

Ham behaved like the diva that he is though, leaving the customary interview spot/session.


Anyway agree that this is the F1 we all craving for! Several cars with similar speeds battling hard at the end. The biggest looser though here are RB & Renault engine as they obviously now lags a bit far behind the top 2. They gonna get murdered in Monza if things stay the same.

It's a pity Leclerc run of points ended. Battle in the midfield is very close though for drivers and constructors.

Personally I don't think we'll see it that often. You'll need SC for 10 or so laps so that they are not fuel limited. Otherwise it's just coasting during some part of the races. That's why they want to take kers out in future engines.

If bottas pitted, he still got 2nd place but with faster tyres. But by doing that, vettel got clean air in front.

Journalist (?) always will try to riled things up. But mercedes comparing this with last week race, where vettel, a wdc contender took out bottas? That's pretty weak argument. Lol.

RB switched to Honda imo is the right call. No hope for Renault.

Wow hamilton malukan the home fans

That is why the diva impression

Glad seb still ice cool head despite being thrown mind games with hamilton in australia

Probably Merc is thinking about Ham as well so how to maximize Ham points as damage limitation plus taking a chance to minimize Sebs points, hence they opt to try gamble winning with Bottas and Ham at least 3rd place podium (which is slightly less point difference as compared between 1st to 2nd). Unfortunately for them, Bottas tires could not hold up in the last 5 laps so ended up loosing to Seb while Ham at least able to get 2nd. So at the end of the day, at least Merc still maximize whatever they can for Ham.

Yeah a case can be suspected for Kimi taking out Ham but doesn't make sense for Seb taking out Bottas in France, especially since the outcome for Seb was a damaged front wing that also put him on a back foot. Anyway Merc should only have themselves to blame as in the last 3 races, they actually did not start off the line as quickly as the Ferraris, hence they're vulnerable to the Ferrari attacks.

It's good if Honda can finally be competitive. Would be interesting to see how RB will fare next year with Honda.

too tired lah to stand lah

anway looking at yday race i think kimi will still be in ferrari, leclerc to haas and grosjean out in 2019 lol
