        Mindblowing spectacle!! Great to see how the Ferrari and RB drivers interact. Being a dutchie I could have appreciated a victory for Leclerc. What a season, yet again, this promises to be.  I think in a few races Mercedes will get their car up to speed and then we have three teams in the mix!

        I can resist anything but temptation.

            I’m not so sure about that; I believe that driver 63 lost 32 seconds in the remaining 10 laps over a battling driver 1 and 16.

              Roll your eyes all you want, but that Netflix series got me into F1, which has had a halo effect of renewing my interest in WEC. Happily, my wife has come along for the ride. We may wind up in Austin for the GP, but thoroughly enjoyed this weekend's races. Very happy for Checo while also disappointed for Leclerc (at least he finished and has someoen else to blame this time out).

              At this point I enjoy the teams so much that I haven't felt the need to adopt anyone as a fan. I am sure that will change.

              Think it, be it.

                it's almost like Ferrari have been given a title winning car and don't know what to do with it. this past 2 races have me scratching my hate in anger about what their engineers and strategists are up too

                  It seems to this newb that Ferrari has had the drivers, the car performance / reliability, and the team, but they haven't had them all at the same time. Then again, maybe the team doesn't belong in that statement.

                    @mclaincausey agreed. except they really got an awful car last year + the down side of luck on strategies.

                      Gutted for Ferrari. Hoped for Checo to win but it is good to see Hamilton so close to the podium again.

                                Can somebody tell me why people (can’t call them racefans really) are booing on Verstappen? They can’t be so childish that it has something to do with the last race last season because when Hamilton knocked out Verstappen @ Silverstone last year people were cheering like they had just won the worldcup… I’m just wondering because it’s not very polite. I know that Hamilton got some boos @ Zandvoort last year too but then the interviewer stood up for Hamilton and after that it was all okay.

                                    My view.

                                    I thought either driver deserved to win the championship last year, they both drove outside their skin.

                                    But the manner in which the final race was won was a farce.  Not of Verstappens making, but certainly of Masi's and arguably of the Red Bull pit wall who placed a lot of pressure on Masi.

                                    I think that most neutral, fair-minded people would say that the win was therefore tarnished and the Hamilton fans think that the race was stolen.

                                    I don't in the least agree with the booing, but I can certainly understand the resentment.

                                    Full disclosure.  I really wanted Hamilton to win the championship last year and was completely and utterly dumbfounded by how Masi managed the last few laps of the race, in fact pretty dumbfounded about how he conducted himself all season.  I suspect there are a few people in The FIA who agree, because he ain't race director anymore.

                                      Facts:

                                      Hamilton was robbed and it was nigh criminal to have such meddling sour that amazing race. (I don’t know if it was protecting Schumacher, a desire to usher in the Max era, or something else but it seemed too deliberate and too convenient not to have been orchestrated (maybe I’m just being a conspiracy theorist)).

                                      That said, the fans are assholes and not directing their frustrations, which are valid, in a fair direction.

                                      Max could not care less about their boorish behavior I am sure.

                                      Courtesy and decency towards one another just seem to be things of the past. I believe that there’s not a driver on the grid who deserves to be booed, and that that should be reserved for drivers who behave exceptionally poorly (dangerous drivers, or acting like Piquet).

                                      If anyone was booing based on Piquet’s idiocy and somehow attaching that to Max, they are even bigger idiots.

                                      Think it, be it.
