It's good to see Perez on the podium in his home country! Perez drove a great race and gave Hamilton all he wanted.

I wonder - could have Max been sandbagging in qualifying?

I doubt it, he sounded pretty pissed at what happened. If he was that means he considers P3 to be a better starting position than P1?

I'm noe thinking the cooling track temps in qualy must just have moved away from RB... but with today being a bit warmer, the harder on the tires setup Mercs may have been tire temp limited and it moved into the perfect sweet spot for RB. Just a theory that I haven't really looked into though.

Haven't watched it yet, just been listening on 5 live, has it been a good race?

A good result for the constructors championship, not so good for the drivers.

I don't think Max will be complaining... but I know you didn't mean it that way. lol

Max can't complain, but personally i would like it to stay as close as possible till the very end.

"That was a very good bluff from Mercedes" , said Marko .

Is he starting to smell the truth ?

All bottas had to do was to move left to give hamilton the tow and maintain a 1-2 but he gives max the tow instead. Bravo smh

Well, it happened just like l called it. Bottas showed why he was dumped for Russell. Great in qualifying but crap in the race.

We sort of expected Redbull to win here. Mercedes gave them a scare but they still have the better car for this altitude track.

Either Bottas had zero awareness or just doesn't care about helping his team mate any more now that he has his contract with Alfa for next season. There was absolutely zero attempt to defend. I imagine Toto and Lewis must be pretty livid with him.

Signing Russell may well cost Lewis this years WDC.

Although i agree that bottas did a terrible job in the first corner, breaking way to early, hamilton was never going to hold off verstappen. Without accidents, it would have been another verstappen-hamilton one-two.
