    How does anyone see them as slow. It's the fastest  cars for years. Anyhow. Hamilton was crusing until his team fucked him up.  Oh well it's a team game in the end. And this week didn t all pull I'm the same direction

    Yeah 2.6 miles in 64 seconds is really slow.
     B) 

    Lot of mechanical failures in that race!  Was pretty much it's only saving grace.  Very surprised Vettel pulled a pass on Hamilton.  As a Ferrari fan those Mercedes failures salvaged our race.
    Also Hambone needs to stay off the radio when things aren't going his way.  He comes across like an ego the team have to stroke and babysit whenever something goes wrong.



    Ferraris have pace regardless of what happens with Mercedes.   Yeah Hambone is a bit of a diva, but he is not wrong. The engineers need to be on top of their shit.  
    They do have pace but the recent Mercedes upgrades have clearly put them back on top. I think most teams were caught out by the increase in temperature for the race, and no one had any idea how the soft tires were going to perform in those conditions (as evidenced by how fast they were wrecked on most cars).  Hammy is arguably the fastest driver in the sport, but when things go wrong he seems to go a lot nuttier than anyone else.  
    I wouldn't mind the points staying this close until the end of the year.

    I don't think I have ever seen Kimi race that aggressively.  Amazing race. Ferrari should win the championship this year.  Cars are fast and they have better drivers than Mercedes.  Red bulls seem to have lost some pace.

    Alonso leaving F1 (for good?) at the end of this season.  Sucks for us fans.

    Sad part is that there are really only 4-6 cars with a chance of winning and the #1 divas at Ferrari and Mercedes don't want the competition. Alonso will probably go to Indy and try to complete the triple crown with the 500

    There are going to be either red or silver cars on the podium with a red bull mixed in every once in a while.  I don't blame Alonzo.  You can start the Mercedes at the back of the field every race and they will be in the top five within 10 laps.  As a competitor it must drive him nuts to putz around in an inferior shit-box with no chance of winning.  Most F1 races are won in the first few turns.

    And Indy Car is by far the more competitive series (they actually make passes!)

    Alonso should of got a drive at red bull. Then we would see. He is obviously  world class and he never should have got in a McLaren .

    Leclerc to Ferrari and Kimi to Sauber (on a 2 year deal; rumour has it he will be part-owner of Sauber after 2019).
    I was really hoping Kimi would stay with Ferrari for another year :(

    Crazy!  I wonder how much of Kimi's contract is being paid by Ferrari. I'd guess the ownership rumors are true because I cant see Kimi agreeing to drive for Sauber without big dollars.

    I think you nailed it, and I was thinking the same thing about Ferrari still paying him to go to Sauber.
    I'm torn about the move.  Leclerc shows a lot of promise and is likely going to be a star, but I love Kimi and don't want him gone from F1, yet don't want to see him fighting the Toro Rossos for 8th every race.

    Kimi is not helping Seb win the title.  LeClerc will be a better second driver for Seb. I would love to see Kimi win a race in a Sauber.

    Well he isn't anymore, no, haha!  Vettel is making too many errors, I'm losing faith and regaining my learned pessimism.
    I would also like to see him win a race, as unlikely as it seems.

    Heading back to Austin next month.  Four years in a row doing both Montreal and Austin.  May have to mix it up next year.

    Maybe but still nothing wrong with those two venues!

    Another exciting competitive F1 race in Russia!  I guess that is the deal you sign with the devil when you get the Mario Kart with all the super power-ups equipped.
