    “Max was acting like a crybaby”

    I’ve seen all the #1 drivers on their teams whine over the years. Lewis is always doom and gloom and then finishes high in the points. Max, Vettel, Alonso have all done it when they were favourites and now Leclerc is doing it too. Egos on F1 drivers is massive

    Agree. Max just seemed a bit more cranky than usual.

    I kind of like Hamilton, Vettel and Alonso more now that they have matured. Couldn't stand them when their egos were massive.
    Currently Max, Russell and Leclerc are insufferable 

    Lando seems to be pretty normal 

    On a side note, why can't Aussie drivers be successful? Webber and Riccardo,  nice guys, but couldn't string together wins

    No comments from you Ferrari fans?  I love the Austrian Grand Prix. Great racing this past weekend. Bummed for Checo and the Haas drivers were impressive even though I hate saying that.  Looks like young Schumacher can actually drive.

     :D first win in 3 months is fun for what it is but doesn't mean much in the long run unless they all of a sudden maintain that pace advantage and stop blowing up, neither of which I expect.

    They have a good car, a very strong power unit, and two great drivers.  Long way to go.

    Ferarri cannot get out of its own way.  Good race in France.

    Carlos did drive well, but I think everyone was scratching their heads when he pitted late in the race.

    Sebastian Vettel has announced his retirement for the end of this season.

    Man I hated him as a Red Bull driver but he became quite likeable as a Ferrari driver  :D

    Sorry to see him go. Nothing left to prove and plenty of cash in the bank.  Glad I get to see him in Austin before he retires. Maybe he will pull a Kimi and get a surprise win. Probably not in an Aston.

    Another blown strategy call for Ferrari, maybe a change on the pit wall is needed

    Again and again. It's becoming a trend. Somebody needs to go.

    Really good race to watch. Vroom vroom vroom, Ferrari are doomed. Anybody watching the live timing could have seen that the hard tire lap times were a good 2 seconds slower than the mediums. I would have loved it if we got real rain during that race.

    I'm really enjoying this season. It's great that 3 different teams and 6 drivers have a legitimate chance to win every race, with possibly a few surprises from the mid-field for podiums.
    There's been some great, tight racing. I always felt Hungary was a bore- to tight to pass- but the race had many great overtakes.

    Agree 100%.  And silly season is about to start. Alonso to replace Vettel at Aston Martin. Cannot wait to see these new cars in Austin.
