    What a drive from Hamilton. Literally dragged that car home. I thought he had no chance.

    They better be consistent with track limits this season as F1 is not known for that

    One of his greatest wins? He never looked like winning that race at any stage.

    If red bull had not mentioned track limits earlier they might have won!

    If Hamilton hadn’t been shafted at Spa in 2008 perhaps there wouldn’t even be a written rule.

    As I said in the season previews- Lewis the wily old fox will teach Verstappen some valuable things this year- Max will grow immeasurably this year from this battle whichever way it goes.

    My only disappointment is that I hoped McLaren and Ferrari might have a race pace to live near the big two but alas, not yet it seems.

    Now the very interesting trio of Euro circuits to test how these cars act in cooler conditions and different circuits- Imola, Portimao, and Barcelona!

    A straight fight in fairly even cars between the all-time record holder and the best the new generation has to offer. F1 needed this. Please let it last the year.

    PS, I had to laugh at Otmar moaning that low rake has been shafted by the regs.

    Perhaps if you designed your own ****ing car you’d be able to account for these things, you plagiarising fast track hype merchants.

    They’ve got a lot to learn on their own two feet at Aston Martin against McLaren, Ferrari, Alpha Tauri.

    I just hope Toto isn’t sharing too much information with his “friends” at Aston.

    Let’s hope so- would be wonderful to see McLaren and Ferrari close up to RBR and Merc but of course they have to set up for the new regs next year.
