Well done Lando.

Hamilton got fastest lap too. So a point ahead in the championship. Not bad going.

He probably wasn’t expecting that as he stared at his smashed front wing and the barrier earlier on in the race.

 

[Locky]

Thats why hes a 7 time world champion, to recover that and get fastest lap. Hes still a tool though..

 

[Flibster]

Norris Pit radio - That's P3. P3. Great job mate. Well done. P3.

Norris - Yeah! Let's go! Awesome!

Ham must be happy with that. Stopped for a minute in the wall and picks up 2nd and leading the championship

Great drive by Max to be fair, good recovery from Lewis and Lando what a race.

Somebody should finally tell Mazepin that you're only meant to do donuts when you win.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Max will be world champion this year. Brilliant driver.

Wonderful to see Norris get a podium as well.

Hamilton pit radio - Nice work Lewis, that is an awesome recovery. Great battle back to P2.

Toto - Lewis, Super, super drive. You are leading the championship.

Hamilton - Awesome job guys. Apologies for that mistake earlier on. But we live and learn. Onto the next one.

Pit - Indeed mate, indeed.

Why are you copypasting my post?

Verstappen pit radio - Ok Max, great work. It's not always all about the Saturday. Nice job.

Verstappen - Haha! Yes! That was tricky out there. Great job guys. We managed that really well. Thank you.

Horner - Mega job. Mega, mega job Max. Difficult afternoon but you nailed it.

That's why you can never count out Hamilton. He always seems to maximise his points, no matter what. He made an uncharacteristic mistake, had a damaged car, poor pitstop, and still managed to get second. While Verstappen is fast and seems to have a worthy car this year, he had his own mistakes, and I think you have to do more than that to beat Hamilton across a whole season. If that was Hamilton's one big mistake this year, then I think that it will be very hard for Verstappen to beat him without a significant car improvement or pulling up the best driving in his career so far.

You've gotta love Lando, such a down to earth guy

Norris "I didn't think I had any fans"

He's got to be one of the most universally likeable drivers around

Norris radio - What a race huh? Nice job everyone. Hopefully I've repaid for my mistake yesterday, it's deserved. A lot of hard work. The boys and girls back in the factory, thanks a lot, it's a cool car to drive.

Pit - Excellent job mate. Well done.

Norris - He heeee!

Pit - Lando, great job mate. Great job. Amazing job the whole weekend. Well deserved podium. You are the 3rd fastest today and yesterday.

Norris - Nice! Cheers. Gracias amigo!

Pit - Vamos!

That redbull is faster the the Merc already so...

 

[Flibster]

Oh, Ocon finished P10, Alonso P11.

I'm not so sure. They're very evenly matched and in race trim, I'm leaning slightly towards Mercedes.

I think they're pretty even ie RB has finally caught up. There is talk that this year's rule changes hurt the low rake cars more than the high rake cars.

 

[Psycho Ned]

I think who has the fastest car will be circuit dependant between Max and Lewis. Gonna be nothing between the 2 of them this season.
