Formula One Freaks-this is it!

Good to see the standings shaken up, makes the next races more interesting, and very glad for Max as I am a Honda fan.  But what a boring race.  No tire or pit strategy, no passing, no safety car, lapped cars, etc.  Yawn.  Parade of fancy race cars through the streets of a fancy town.  Time for F1 to make changes at this race.

I agree, this race is traditionally a boring parade, but Perez and Vettel both stayed out longer and overcut Hamilton. And the pit crew or wheel problems cost Bottas his race.
some of the commentators had it right by saying there are a variety of tracks and you have to perform well on all if you want to be champ

Gasly had a great race, as did the Aston Martins.  And what about Giovinazzi?  I am starting to like him. Just hard to watch the round and round.

I agree 
 So boring.
Racing needs over taking , Its what  racing  is.

what a crazy race

I feel really sorry for Max. He’d had a perfect race before the tyre let go.
Can’t believe Lewis binned it on the restart!

Crazy race indeed. Baku always delivers some drama, but that was ridiculous.  With that many red flags, something needs to change.

Ya, I didn’t really like coming back for just two laps, should have been a rolling start at least.
fortunately Max and Lewis both ended up with zero points so they are still in the same place
good for Perez, Seb and Gasly
and Kimi got a point woot woot

Amazing Stroll walked away from that crash, that was a nasty banger.

Hard to believe that we have kept this thread going for 10+ years!  Thanks for all the comments and the nonsense! It's like one long silly season! And I still loathe Ferrari

It won't be long till all you "broken arrows" fans start singing this hit, again: I See Red!

That was a nail biter.

I think Bottas will be somewhere else next year

My daughter on the mercedes boss: "must suck to be named after the dog in the Wizard of Oz."     One thing is clear after that race.  Red Bull definitely has the pace to win it all.  Can't believe the strategic errors that Mercedes is making. Fun race.  Stripes were a bit annoying but I like the old school feel of that track.

Yeah it's a bit weird the mistakes they've been making.  I also feel like it's the first real championship pressure they've had to deal with since Rosberg won.  Also weird that Hamilton didn't put up a fight when Verstappen was passing him.

Hamilton was just nursing the car home, and was in no position to race with Max on the mediums and with full DRS. Agree RedBull has Mercedes on the ropes and Mercedes is acting punchy!  Very exciting.  Cant want for the next round!

Well that was boring. Cannot wait for next year.
I hate when the majority of the field gets lapped

lastexitlondon

Boring indeed. 

Get_Right

Yeah not great. I am not a huge fan of that track, it is almost too small for F1.

Some nice racing(despite the penalties), let the guys race
you know Mercedes will be putting everything into Silverstone for a Hammy victory 

Pap

That's the Ferrari spirit! Feisty till the last round!
