Crofty with another nugget.
"Hamilton hasn't won since Hungary"
Saying it as if it was such a long time ago.
Is that a compliment or just another foolish comment?

It’s embarrassing. All the butt hurt Ferrari fans voting for Vettel just to get some kind of solace at his retirement. I was glad Vettel retired. If there is a team agreement you need to keep it. Charles kept his part, gave Vettel the slipstream. Whether or not Vettel believed he would have gotten by anyway is irrelevant. An agreement is an agreement. if you’re not willing to accept it in all circumstances then don’t make it. Ferrari did the right thing by flexing their muscles and pitting Charles first so he could get by again.
Good to see Mercedes winning. It’s just a matter of time before they win both championships now. I have heard that they switched focus to next years car before the summer break and have not concentrated on developing this years car very much. That would line up with why Ferrari have caught them so much.
Bottas was a good wingman again today, but that’s about it.

It depends on what the agreement was. If the agreement was that should Vettel get by LeClerc after LeClerc provides him the slipstream then of course he should let him by. LeClerc gave him a slipstream and played the team game, Vettel should hold up his end of the bargain too. Remember Hungary 17 when Hamilton held up his end of the bargain to let Bottas by after Bottas let him past to have a go at the Ferraris? Same applies here. Agreements must be honoured.

Strange race to say the least.
Whatever agreement was made before the start, they managed to piss off both drivers doing it. First Leclerc by not putting their foot down with Seb, then Seb by leaving him out to let Leclerc get out ahead again. Maybe something as simple as **gasp** let the drivers race as long as they don't destroy the cars would work better? Then I think they added insult to injury by pitting Leclerc under the safety car. I personally think he would have stayed ahead of Bottas without the stop, and the first stint should have showed them that the chances of catching up to Lewis were slim to none anyway.
Merc might have got lucky with strategy, but the timing of that VSC gave them a race 1-2 finish. With the qually differences I thought Leclerc might have a better shot at Bottas, but it seemed that holding off the Ferrari wasn't all that hard for him really. Without that VSC I think the Ferrari's still would have come out on top, but Merc did have good race pace. Lewis did a good job staying on the back of Leclerc with the tire differences, but I think attacking would have been out of the question.
Great action through the midfield today. DOTD for me would have been Albon, as that was a come from the pits drive that most of us only expect from the more proven greats. Really the lower 5 of the top 10 all had really good drives today.
was playing v-rally 3 on my game boy advanced emulator here. such a fun game. some stages have reaaally fun elevation changes and some good scenery by the shore (i guess its the french event). you...
