I see it as a mountain climb for Vettel now, in my mind the championship is done. He is too inconsistent to see him being able to mount any sort of meaningfull challenge to Hamilton over the next three races. He kind of was lucky that it is going to mexico with 5 points. It could have been much worst.
Great win for Kimi and well deserved. If Ferrari had done this kind of service for Kimi all season, their constructors tally would have been a different story. Bottas put forward a disappointingly sub-standard race today. He gave away dear constructors point with a very mediocre performance.
Verstapenn is the driver of the day for me. He came from way back in 18th, l think, to 2nd on the podium. That was a great show of driving talent.
How Mercedes got it wrong today.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 21st October 2018 at 21:00.

lol. Make that two of us.
I take a mea culpa on this one. Ferrari got it spot on with Kimi and mercedes wrong with Hamilton.
Although I think if he nursed his tires he could have gone all the way to the end.
If they were going to go with a 2 stop then they should have pitted Hamilton way earlier, so he would come out behind kimi and not 4th on the track.
But credit to where it is due. Kimi drove a flawless race. The team's strategy with both Vettel (after his now, typical, lap 1 spin) and kimi was perfect.
Mercedes strategy awful. Bottas driving even worse.
to me it, it makes sense to buy him out of his contract and put ocon in that seat. At least he would show some better pace and urgency than Bottas.you can't argue with results.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing
But I agree, ultimately it was Ferrari and not Mercedes who made the right call after all.Oct. 31, 1999 - one of the blackest days in motorsports.

So great to see him with a win. Not sure who was driver of the day as the top four put in goo pd drivers, although number 4 Eff'ed up again." Lady - I'm in an awful dilemma.

It was over the air TV on ABC, not on cable or pay TV. Mexico will also be on ABC, check your listings.
