What we reckon, Max masterclass in the rain?

As it happens, no.

Haha Max. How many retirements is that now this season.

I know Raikkonen is **** but is it me or does he always have some sort of electronics issue to deal with on the radio each week?

Pretty much every race.

Rain not looking near at the moment is it!

Looks to me that the harder tyres are the ones to be on

"**** This! Says Magnussen, all over Radio Five Live. Tee hee.

 

[Viva_Giggsy]

Kimi always gets the dodgy pit decisions from Ferrari.

 

[eddie_squidd]

Possibility of rain, we are told. That would make things interesting.

 

[TopClass]

That should do Bottas confidence some good- double race winner and held on in a close battle.

He's very nifty at these power tracks.

Not so good as his team mate and the elite at the more balanced circuits.

Crap race for the most part there. Decent end.

 

[Viva_Giggsy]

Bottas in the title race now. That's what Vettel needs as the Mercedes is defiantly the faster car. Could be a bit like 2007 again.

 

[The Man with No Name]

Vettel surely must be overdue some bad luck.

You get a drive through for ignoring the blue flag and a slap on the wrist for running in the back of the lead car and then ramming into him from the side in anger....wow. Penalties not consistent. Car troubles seem to be plaguing Hamilton again...two in two races.

Are you thick? Vettel got a stop go penalty that was like a 30 second penalty, that was hardly a slap on the wrist.

Wrong thread. Go back to Baku.

Great to see Bottas silently put himself in title contention. Not even halfway. Things could get just a little more interesting at Mercedes.

 

[Julius Caesar]

Bottas drove a great race. Convinced he was lucky at the start though, he went and coincidentally the lights went out immediately after, but before he'd left his box.

Not seen the race, but know the result.

On the basis there is barely a full page of comments on it, I will assume it was crap!

Haha. Pretty much. How it is sometimes I guess.

Pretty poor race, but at least there is no stupid handbag style drama.

I've been quietly impressed with Bottas this season. I expected him to be destroyed by Lewis but it's not really happened. I do think that Mercedes have treated him as a number 2 driver, but he hasn't really complained and got on with his job. I see that Lewis is now closer to Bottas than Vettel in the championship, I hope that Mercedes finally give him some support and let him have a go at Lewis, I very much doubt it but I hope.
