Granted... then, again, pretty well any backdrop is beautiful for a Ferrari! Image

SV during pole interview pointing at Red Bull's turning vane: "This is ours!" :P


I saw that. The presenters commented on that as well afterwards. It made me chuckle.

I do not understand why this gizmo is so great and worthy of pilfering. Could someone explain?

And also do you think this is going to just make an impact on street circuits? Is that why RedBull almost stole pole this week? Will it be back to normal next time with Mercedes ruling the roost on the faster circuits?

Stunning lap by Vettel on a drivers track. Excellent work also by the Red Bulls. The Merc drivers though even with their huge oil burn advantage couldn't get dialed in and end up on the third row, Toto was not impressed.

Unbelievable end to Ferrari's race. Am I bitter? Ab-so-freaking-lute-ly!!

But, the thing that annoys me the most?? These stupid British announcers!!!!!!!!!
TOTALLY subjective and COMPLETELY biased!!

Had that been Hamilton on pole, getting into that horrible carnage, they would have insisted that the
race ""should"" have been started behind the Safety Car. Because it was Vettel/Kimi/Ferrari, their
attitude is, "oh, but this is Formula 1 racing" insinuating that a professional driver who knew what
he was doing, would never have found himself in that predicament!

Conclusion? ANYTHING that benefits Hamilton, is OK to happen!
And, this was DEFINITELY and DEFINITIVELY a gift to Hamilton.
Might even be the turning point of the Driver's Championship.

And, all we will hear is about how he worked oh-so-freaking hard to win it!!
Uh-huh... Right!!

Again, yes, I am ab-so-freaking-lute-ly bitter...
I guess this is how all those Schumi/Ferrari-critics/haters feel!

The difference? I recognize the fact that I, too,, am subjective!!

You are absolutely correct. The Brit announcers made fools of themselves today with their bias. Brundle and co calling penalty points for Vettel was humiliating for them, pure hate towards Sebastian. And all in support of the German team. I guess being pro Germany is what they do when the Brit teams are so poor! But wait a minute isn't Vettel from Germany, what hypocrites.

It was Verstappen who collided with Raikkonen's back wheel as Kimi passed after he baulked the start, all he had to do was to lift and fall into line. Quite a shame as it otherwise it would have been a Ferrari one - two finish. And a podium for MV.

And how about this, Verstappen in one moment of misjudgement took out three world champions, is that some sort of record? Max is proving that perhaps he is too young for a top drive.

Ps. Max was just interviewed post race and says "you can't back out". So he knew what he was doing when he collided with Raikkonen.

F1 = Clown College, the whole thing just keeps getting worse. Congrats to Hamilton for being lucky enough to have missed the mess up front.
