And right after I wrote that, Leclerc starts eating away's the difference with Vettel. I really don't know what's with the pace difference between the Ferraris today. Maybe Vettel overused his tyres in the first part of both stints and is now paying the price?Quote:

Ferrari not letting Mclerc race Fettel
I'm actually quite OK with Ferrari not letting the drivers race in that position. It would have been a fight in a circuit where overtaking is notoriously difficult, so there was a decent chance of them crashing; and all for no benefit whatsoever for the team since they were way behind 3rd and in front of 6th. An order to hold station makes all the sense in the world at that point of the race.
Bottas spanks The Boss, and Ferrari sucks for for enforcing team orders!
Wow... When I said "Bottas to shock all of us and destroy Hamilton this year!" on the other thread, I was only joking.. Looks like he finally found his mojo. Has he just had some mental strength coaching by Nicos sports shrink?
No, I dont think this will be Bottas's year, I expect Lewis to bounce back but it looks like Valteri is finally right up for a challenge.
Have the new wings/regs made overtaking/ following closer any better? Certainly not on the evidence of this race... Verstappen saying that after he got within 1.5 secs his tyres started overheating. Ah well... perhaps back to the drawing board with that one.
What about the point for the fastest lap. Lots of speeding up and slowing down.. but did it improve the spectacle towards the end of the race at all for you?
Sorry, I didn't notice - my mistake!Quote:

With Ferrari, I don't quite understand why - if they had to employ team orders - they didn't at least pit LeClerc to give him a chance for the fastest lap bonus point.
It was ultimately a bad start and floor damage that cost Hamilton this race. Lets not get carried away. Bottas also showed his weak mentality after the race with his "to whom it may concern, fuck you" comment. A truly mentally strong person would not have felt the need to make that comment. It shows the pasting he received last year is still in his head and bothering him so this, he has come back a new man talk being spouted by the media is nothing other than complete and utter nonsense.Quote:
