My honest opinion is that Lewis or Vettel or Bottas would have won from pole today. Once he got away at the start the best drivers would have turned that into a win. He's got a lot of talent but he's got some work to do.
No they wouldn’t in a million years. That’s nonsense. Neither of them had the pace today in clear air. His tyres let go at the end, in the same way as Hamilton’s and Bottas did. Max’s tyres were way younger.
Max drove an extraordinary race. If you watch Charles car after the overtake it’s squirrelling all over the shop. He had no grip left. Same with Bottas - even Vettel nearly got him at the end. All the drivers with 35 lap old tyres were screwed at that point.
Red Bull have always been really kind on their tyres too, and that really showed today. If Bottas hadn’t basically gift wrapped the pass to Verstappen, CLC would have won.
CLC saying that under current regs the pass wasn’t “correct” but that it wouldn’t have effected the result in the end, as he would have got past. Fair play. Trouble is the FIA have opened Pandora’s box with the Canada penalty for Vettel.
Length of time this is taking, I suspect there’s disagreement. Wonder if the driver in Kristensen disagrees with the more pencil pushing elements.
Brilliant race. Really enjoyed that. Shot in the arm for F1, even though I don't think it deserved the crap it picked up last week.
If you think that spending in the Premier League is nuts...free agency opened today in the NBA. Within a couple hours, about $2 billion USD in contracts were agreed upon. Edit: it's approaching $3 billion.
That the American billion or English billion? If it is the American billion then wouldn't surprise me if $300 million is spent by PL clubs on fees this summer, not even taking into account wages/signing on fees.
Everything is the US billion these days. Although in Netherlands they still hang in there with the UK billion, I'm told.
