Another fun race to watch .
Anyone still bored ?
Two fashion faux pas situations , though .
Can someone at Merc test the team shirts with a champagne soaking before they are issued to the personnel , to try to find some that don't become almost completely transparent when wet on the podium ? Please .
Secondly , and more importantly , have we ever seen a driver stand through the national anthems with a hat on before ?
I can't remember ever seeing it .
I'm not sure if it's an actual offence in the podium protocol , but I suspect it is .
Having seen the speed at which he slid the hat on , all in one motion , as the balaclava came off before the grid talk , I suspect his podium headgear was all about a bad hair day , and so , frankly , it looked pretty disrespectful to stand through those anthems with it on .
It was a bad look for Lewis , after a stellar drive .

That was pretty good. You need to keep in check these Verstappen/RB/losers in orange form getting ahead of themselves.
Martin Brundle is a lame arse. It's a changing of the guard in F1 apparently. What an idiot.

Damon Hill also said this was a changing of the guard after the GP. I find that particularly idiotic since Hamilton had won by then. No doubt though, Brundle is a lame ass.
I cannot see Gasly keeping his seat until the end of the season. A lap down on his teammate again. He’s absolutely awful and simply not able to drive to the required level in F1 of a team like RBR.
The Ferrari’s were scarily slow today by comparison to Hamiltom and Verstappen. They have serious work to do.
Funny yet again to see Max Verstappen get DOTD again with all his butthurt Dutch fans voting in their consolation prize that means absolutely nothing.Last edited by The Black Knight; 4th August 2019 at 20:40.

Yup. That was pretty annoying IMO
in the last 4 races, hamilton and vettel have split the wins. and tbh it could have easily been 3-1 hamilton.
Verstappen has as many wins as Bottas this year and is still behind him in the standings.
Hamilton has given up nothing to Verstappen this year and leads him by 68 points.
He has 8 race wins and a commanding lead in the WDC so i'm not sure about a changing of the guard.
And the way they were all spouting this in unison seems to be talking points delivered to them by the producers.
A changing of the guard would be alonso in 2005/2006 vs schumi.you can't argue with results.

If l remember correctly, two races ago was when Bottas began to crumble in 2018. He never recovered and Woolf is probably thinking that how Bottas does over this period would give an indication of where the rest of the season is heading for him. It was bad luck that took the swell of Bottas' potential last season as it has this season. I think, the decision would be finalize based on how well he tackles his return from the holiday break. If his performances are still as we have seen in the last two races, regardless of the reason, chances are his seat would be lost.
That said, l am not so sure Ocon is the right man to take that seat. I have not seen enough to suggest that he is deserving of it. Or to suggest that he can perform better than Bottas. I am not even sure he is a better choice than Russell.
A Verstapenn switch to Mercedes along side Hamillton would be quite popular. It would produce some of the most entertaining racing since Hamilton faced up to Rosberg.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 12th August 2019 at 00:14.

It is clear that the Sky lot are just as fed up of Hamilton winning everything as you are Journeyman. Though the first proper head to head has not produced a win for the mouthy dutchman, the Sky lot could not resist spouting there is a changing of the guard. It is irritating how they embarrass us their dutifully paying customers. Their inability to be impartial is really what pisses me off. They have to wait till the second half of the season to see if there is a changing of the guard going on or if this is just Redbull capitalizing on Mercedes blips.
We can say there is a changing of the guard when Verstapenn has won more races than Hamilton in the same season. At eight wins to two there is no changing of anything.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 6th August 2019 at 06:02.

I did not think Redbull could take poll. But l thought they could win the race from anywhere on the first two rows of the grid. As it goes, it happened the other way round. But l also did say that l fail to see anyone but Hamilton winning it.
That said, respect! You were spot on.
Verstapenn drove a brilliant race though, he just got a taste of what the fuss about Hamilton is all about, thats all. And Redbull properly discovered what a formidable opponent Mercedes is. Redbull would regroup and come back on the attack next time round. The Redbull vs Mercedes duel was long awaited, hence it is good to see signs of it coming about.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 6th August 2019 at 19:14.
