Good grief, disasterclass strategy by McLaren.
not hitting your marks in the pits doesn't help.
Sad to see that Mclaren is employing some Ferrari strategy: not double stacking a lap after it would have been ideal, choosing the soft tires over the mediums for Lando...
An RBR and a Ferrari lapping an RBR and a Ferrari lol
(Sorry I'm a few minutes behind I think)
Wow left Piastri to fend for himself. Should've double stacked like the Mercedes.
I feel like he still has a good chance to make up a few places on a drying track. McLaren was rapid on mediums during the first rain period.
Come on typical British weather, we are counting on you
VER HAM
OR
HAM VER
is back on the menu boys.
Hamilton!!!!!!
This season has been a blessing.
This season has been a blessing.
Considering how the season started, this has been the best bait and switch
Wow piastri has been completely sacrificed. What a poor call by McLaren
No, George!
What a blunder for Ferrari with Leclerc again...
Am I the only one, or is Toto's smile wider today than last week when George won?
Well Hamilton is the most loved British driver, has been with the team for years and this victory was proper on merit
Toto and Lewis are friends. Toto and George are employer and employee.
So you are telling me the PowerPoint didn't ignite the spark of friendship? I am shocked! 😲
They lucked their way into last week's victory, they earned this one
The absolute fuck is going on
Great move for max that. He can go after the mercs now
RIP
What a race. Didn't take a moment away to chat here.
I'm really curious to hear why Max's pace was so slow until the last stint. I wasn't expecting him to end up second until then.
I am wagering that the Red bulls are not able to put the tyre into the right window. Max is just so slow
strolls start was really great !
Red Bull not even being subtle with the Perez sabotage
What about Leclerc. Completely botched his strategy.
Max down to 5th wow. Hamilton takes the lead!
Two easy passed on Max by McLaren 👀
At long last the drought is over. What a race!
Crikey
Max is currently blitzing the field.
Great start for Leclerc, making up 3 spots.
I didn't know I can be this happy when Lewis Hamilton wins. What two years can do! The race was awesome, laps flew by with an unbelievable speed. It's such a joy to be an F1 fan on a day like today.
PS: Yet another Mercedes win in a row, who will finally stop them? 😂
The on track action in that movie teaser looked so obviously animated..
Though we do know that they shot actually footage on track both with Brad Pitt in the car and with proper ex drivers as stand-ins.
So, if I've got it right, DannyRic and Perez will both start from the pits.
Only Perez starts from the pitlane. I dont think Riccardo has a penalty requiring him to start from the pits.
Wow those mercs looking quick
What happened there
Funny how we talked about british bias earlier and Lewis once again shows how he is the only driver allowed to go to the grandstands instead of going straight to the post-race interviews
