Well don't forget LeBerk has a 3 place grid penalty next week. I was under the impression from a few races ago that first lap incidents were classed as "Racing incidents"? Usual stewards consistency then.

Russell may even get disqualified yet and get a grid penalty for the next race ...... in a Williams. He may as well walk round and get run over 20 times, it couldn't be any worse for the lad
Well, I did a good job with my predictions again .... 
Mercedes had a day to forget for sure Andy. Russell didn't put a foot wrong really. Not fair to punish the driver I don't think, again this was an instance the Team should take a hit as the driver has no control over what the team to while he is sitting in the car. There was one instance where this happened IIRC?
Tony.
And to think the only prediction I got right, was Haas scoring zero!
So, when Max said "90% of the drivers on the grid could win in a Mercedes" he was slated....... was he wrong?
So, when Max said "90% of the drivers on the grid could win in a Mercedes" he was slated....... was he wrong?
He also said this when asked if Mercedes needed "big bucks Hamilton" to lock out the front row;
Of course you do,” he pauses.
“Because he will make the difference in the most crucial moments.
“That is why he is a seven-time world champion.”
Sainz also said that yes, 90% of drivers could win in a Mercedes but none could do what Hamilton has done.
and the other 90% wouldn't have turned into dickheads using the sport to promote there own agendas!
George crammed himself into a cockpit designed for someone else, 5 inches shorter, with significantly smaller feet and hands, then he went out and out performed his team mate and equalled what Lewis would probably have done.
Here's a conspiracy theory for you, someone in Mercedes threw the pit stop to prevent George standing on the podium. They don't need the constructors points, Lewis is champion, Max will have to do something stunning next week to push Valtteri out of second. George on the podium really would make it look like the car wins the race.
So, what happens next week? If Lewis isn't back, they will have to put George in again because if they put a another driver in, and they do the same as George, it would prove Valtteri is rubbish and Lewis is just good, and not really the superstar everyone thinks. But the knock on effect goes further, there would be an argument for tightening technical rules to bring the car performance closer together, something budgets alone won't do.
Had similar thoughts, I guess next week might give some answers. Remember when Schumacher broke his leg?, Irvine had similar “problems”.
Tony.
Tony.
Interesting points.
Hamilton is using his platform to promote equality in F1 and the wider society supported by his global team.
Russell is already in the Mercedes framework hence his inclusion and is the next generation and, given the opportunity, will become F1 World Champion. Wolf has stated that he will drive next week if Hamilton is not available. He did a superb job and was let down by bad luck, twice.
Double stacking with the lead they had was a good precaution to future proof their respective races, it just went badly wrong, it happens.
Bottas is not rubbish, just a great No.2 that helps winnthe Constructors Championship.
Hamilton is back for the last race. Tight at the top peeps, a slim margin between the top two with third waiting in the wings so don't forget your predictions.
Second thoughts, top three forget your predictions and ill sneak passed on the last corner of the last race.
Good luck all
