Get in there, Bottas!

 

[Hamster]

Bottas is a new man this year I actually think that Bottas deserves a shot at the championship.

Agree. He seems a lot more determined and in sync with that car

 

[Hamster]

Oh right, Vettel was in the race as well.

Who?

Glad for Bottas, and for LeClerc nabbing fastest lap at the end there. And Iceman got a point. Nowhere near as exciting as I'd expected, but could have been a more disappointing result for me.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Hardly... did you not watch this race last year? He was leading Hamilton when he retired.

Of course I watched the race, but the Bottas of last year (despite his Baku performance) wasn't the fighter he appears to be this year which is what I was referring to.

 

[Hamster]

Who?

The guy stuck in third the whole weekend

 

[Hamster]

Just me or is Hamilton on his period again?

Oh that has-been. I remember now.

After four races the top 3 in each race must make the Ferrari fans so happy

I think overall so far this season he's been much less of a whiney b***h, he's always hardest on himself when he doesn't get the result he wants.

Why?

EDIT: After Le Clerc's first pit he would be coming out on inferior tyres that becomes rubbish the longer the race goes on (hence the reason everybody else pitted earlier). He finished 5th which is a net gain of three positions. Still a good result for him given how he qualified.

Le Clerc is good but he isn't this "God sent Wonderboy genius" people are making him out to be.

From the get go Leclerc was the fastest driver on track on medium tyres while the front runners were on soft.
When Bottas after pitting started to chip away at his time Leclerc should have been pitted and come out 2 seconds behind Vettel. A win was insight.
NB: He is now the lap record holder.

 

[Hamster]

He is now the lap record holder.

After he pitted a second time and got new tyres. It's a pipe dream to think he could've won this. Even if he pitted at the "right" time he would've come out 7 seconds odd behind Bottas, possibly in fourth behind Vettel with worse tyres than all of them.

Why?

There is nothing wrong with Mattia, he is a damn good engineer, fire the idiot that made him team principal and whilst they are at it they can fire the team strategist who has actually managed to throw away four races so far this year.
