Wonder where the Ferrari got that power from looked much quicker

 

[chrismscotland]

I think the engine is rubbish too this year. Feels like the Merc engine is the weakest engine this season.

Yeah it doesn't look great in the McLaren or Aston either

 

[uscool]

No home victory for redbull hehe

Was that Sky playing cheering sounds for Lewis or the fans?

It would have been the worldwide f1 feed if the audio was tweaked. Not sky.

Driving between Leclerc and Max very clean once again, won't stop the next race thread being full of posts expecting Max to take him out though

Exemplary from Leclerc today and good results for Norris and HAAS.

Half a season of relatively clean racing doesn't make up for the other 6 As I have said before it comes with experience, I was surprised when looking back through the hybrid era how messy Hamilton was in the early years.

That's a tall 1st place. Shows who they were expecting to win.

Russell did very well and when you look at his race pitting early for a front wing change plus the 5 sec penualty he would have finished 3rd.

French grand prix next. Not the greatest track in the world. Or even the greatest track in France...

Merc should go well again. Smooth track. But straight line speed may be a weakness.

Terrible circuit and the races have been a bit dire generally. I kinda miss Magny-Cour but wouldn't mind seeing them try to race at Le Mans!

Yeah smooth track should help Merc but as you say they looked pretty slow this weekend in a straight line

He'd be 4th as Check would be ahead

I don't get how their speed in quality evaporated in the race.

We're Merc using too many old parts to fix them both maybe?

 

[uscool]

Yes patched up job , Russell using old spec wing , and they didn't bring much parts with them for this race

3rd best team and that's pretty much it and getting luck with reliability of cars ahead

 

[Flibster]

All the teams are producing the minimum number of parts now. Budget cap and all.

Great race for Mick. Think he's going to be clearly ahead of KMag by season's end.

Wonder where the Ferrari got that power from looked much quicker

It was traction rather than power. As we've seen elsewhere the Ferrari is better with tyres than Red Bull.

Weird because few races Ferrari dag was worse

It was more in the straight line speed usually even with DRS the Ferrari would struggle but not today

The replay of that engine blow up gets worse each time

Circuit is still miles ahead better than Monaco
