Poll: Belgian Grand Prix 2020, Spa - Race 7/17

[Flibster]

Gasly driver of the day with only 18% of the vote....

 

[vanpeebles]

Yet we'll all be sat here next race saying the same things... Haha!

One day it has to rain!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

50 point buffer. I’d take that.

 

[Flibster]

I'm looking forward to Monza if that's Ferrari's performance at high speed power sensitive tracks.

Great race for Renault. Fastest lap for Dani.

Norris within a lap or two of embarrassing Albon even more. Gasly did well to finish ahead of the RPs. Painful for Ferrari.

Albon’s days have to be numbered; Gasly looks much quicker in the “B” Car - even if its just for the rest of the season they should swap them back

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Bottas looks resided to second. Hamilton looks unstoppable. Bottas only really occasionally pushes him in quali.

 

[Flibster]

Ricciardo was ~only~ 4.5s faster than Verstappen on the last lap...

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton said what I suspected at the start, it looked like bottas briefly had to lift off the first corner which worked well for him. I suspect Hamilton did that on purpose.

0.5 for the race.

That's the worst race in a long time.
And Merc protecting Lewis as normal.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Love that, Max ‘no, it was pretty boring’.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton can match Schumachers record of 91 wins at the Tuscan GP at Mugello, which is Ferrari's 1000th Grand Prix.

It didn’t look like bottas had much of an answer.

 

[Flibster]

Vettel pit radio - P13, P13 confirm. Thanks for your effort.

Vettel - Ok...... Well I was thinking that err, will can come back more, you can come back more set in the end. It was really bad. The tyres were getting really cold. So, I tried.

What you talking about?
Team orders not to race and told bottas not to use the fast mode.

Hasn't anyone realized that when bottas is near, Lewis always says loss of power... that's so he can use the top mode and get away with it.

Glad MotoGP is in next week.

 

[englishpremier]

Gasly couldn’t handle the pressure, won’t be any different now.

A bit older now. Wiser. Plus has experience of last time so would know what to expect now. IIRC, he was closer on average times than Albon.

Another CT by deuse, what a surprise.

That’s the best you have? Hamilton has the same power modes. Bottas has no chance. Get max in there.

Off to Italy next. Should be amusing.

 

[vanpeebles]

Bottas is the perfect number two, there is no need for mercedes to have two equal drivers.

 

[Flibster]

Oh... 1000th race for Ferrari engines in F1 today. Highest position Ferrari engine? 12th - Raikkonen.
