Poll: French Grand Prix 2019, Paul Ricard - Race 8/21

[Mr Jack]

Epically dull. Not quite the most processional race I've ever seen but only just. And the director cut away from the most interesting action at the end *sigh*

2/10

 

[CaptainRAVE]

There was 1 thing which happened in the last 50 odd laps of that race and the TV director missed it lol.

Yup - he missed both. We were watching Bottas and Leclerc, but didn’t get a great view of that either.

 

[muon]

Ricciardo +5s I reckon.

Bloody typical

 

[JBeck]

Well done Lewis, bad luck Lando although he was forced off by Ric?

 

[Steampunk]

Hamilton is relentless. You've got to feel sorry for the guys who are in F1 at the same time. Sure, most will be able to blame the lack of a top flight car, but the likes of Bottas and Vettel must know they are just not good enough to beat Hamilton. No driver wants to be racing for second.

Ricciardo +5s I reckon.

It should be after Canada but they shouldn’t be penalising for things like this

 

[Flibster]

Ricciardo +5s I reckon.

Which would be a hell of a penalty. Would drop him to 10th.

Cameras have been all over the place for the entire race on French TV.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

What Hamilton just said is that he is basically just racing himself.

 

[Entai]

But he pushed one car off the track and then overtook another while off the track himself

That is NOT in any way fair racing

 

[muon]

Well he did drop Norris to 10th with his mistake.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Well done Lewis, bad luck Lando although he was forced off by Ric?

Absolutely. Ricciardo went too deep, Norris dived out the way and they all went by on the straight.

 

[muon]

This is also the car behind causing the problem, not the car in front. So quite different.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

It should be after Canada but they shouldn’t be penalising for things like this

Yes, yes they should. Norris was forced off (that or he risked a collision) and 3 cars went passed as a result.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Have to say that’s the worse race I can remember, even the crowd and pit crews seem subdued

Congrats to Lewis though got the job done.

It's him versus the track, because no one else is doing enough to put up a fight.

 

[Kelt]

I watched twenty minutes in between the wicket changeover of the WC and I'll give it a generous 0/10 for its glorious entertainment value.

 

[Mr Jack]

Norris wasn't forced off, he was forced wide, with the off possibly resulting from the car problems.

 

[muon]

Norris wasn't forced off, he was forced wide, with the off possibly resulting from the car problems.

He was definitely was on the power far later than everyone because of Ricciardo.

Car problems had little to do with it.
