Hulkenburg versus Verstapenn would be spectacular off the line. It would be interesting to see how Bottas can keep Hamilton behind through turn one. Ricciado takes on Stroll and Gasly.
Gasly outshines Albon as the Brit finds the going tougher this weekend. All signs suggest Gasly would be heading back to Redbull at some point this or next season.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 9th August 2020 at 17:36.

Bottas shows the world why he is a #2 driver. Provided no resistance to max and then proceeds to fall back from max. Deserved to get passed by Hamilton. And it’s ridiculous to listen to the sky crew trying to blame the team for Bottas poor pace. Smh

Also wtf was that pit stop for Hülkenberg? Smells fishy to me.

This was a race where the Redbull strategist went head to Head with the Mercedes strategist and came out on top. How Mercedes loses this race with the fastest car on the grid suggest they are still weak on the strategy front. The Mercecdes strategist still has not worked out how to plan around the heat and the soft tyres.
Verstapenn delivers again above what the car can do.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 9th August 2020 at 16:44.

Congrats max. Well deserved. Good recovery and fastest lap by Hamilton. Great damage control. Poor from Bottas. Clearly the car is faster than the RBR (as Hamilton showed) on new tires and all Bottas did was fall back from max. No excuse. Smh
Excellent by Leclerc. Great one stop drive.
Superb p5 by Albon
Don’t understand that additional pit stop by racing point on Hülkenberg. Makes no sense at all. So no credit for stroll who had nothing for Hülkenberg.
Good job for ocon and Norris. Happy that kvyatt got p10. Ricciardo blew it for some decent points.

Absolutely. First of all they had enough pace to have both cars qualify with the hards in Q2. And even had an opportunity to do that at the very end of Q2 but they bolted softs on instead. But RBR got it spot on and verstappen drove an incredible race as well so credit to them. Mercedes race strategy has been problematic often unable to do the obvious thing or not reacting properly. Their chief strategist is really not great. The only thing he can do is manage a clear 1-2 miles ahead. As soon as any kind of competitive challenge is introduced they fall apart. It’s a clear arrogance of thought. But I’m glad that things get spiced up a bit. Now Racing point on the other hand, once again completely botched their entire race strategy and should have finished in p4 and p5. Shambolic

He needs to handle such things. It´s a long rally, and he should apply that in his thoughts.
