Folk like you make me laugh. If this had been Max you would be banging on about how he made the difference, it was nothing to do with the car and he is the next best thing since sliced bread.

Mercedes can easily finish 1-2 tomorrow with that pace.

Bin the quali/sprint race/race format.
Go with reverse grid quali/race.
It’ll mean that everyone goes full beans to get a decent starting position. Take Hamilton out of the this sprint and it was garbage.

It's only "as expected" because he's that damn good. Anyone think Bottas' - who had a great race, btw - would have managed that?
Soldato
Nah, I'd like to see normal qually set the GP grid and also the reverse grid for the sprint though, have the Sprint as a seperate race with slightly more points available, maybe down to 5th?
Soldato
Should decide the race grid by drawing numbers from a hat 
Standard qualifying simply orders the grid by car/driver speed so hardly surprising that the actual race is then a procession. Imagine if the grid was completely random!

So the Mercedes working in traffic here is as expected? Huh...

Lewis is pretty much nailed on for a podium then, assuming the first lap is clean. Third at worst, second if Verstappen ever gets ahead of Bottas. Possibly a win if a safety car happens after the first stint.
Have to say though, if he hadn't already been penalised, Hamilton would be in trouble for not staying within 10 car lengths to the grid. He was miles behind, which should be another clear penalty.

Bit easier passing a Haas than a Merc.

Great drive by Lewis but not sure he'll find it as easy tomorrow. The other drivers had nothing to gain today but expect they'll defend more tomorrow.
I’m sure he will just bumper car his way through, like normal.
Soldato
Pretty sure, most expected Lewis who was close to half a second faster than P2 in qualifying to easily breeze deep into the top 10 in the sprint, just look at the woeful performances of the other teams/drivers. Max and Valteri were nearly 19s ahead of third place.
Soldato
Hamilton is 3/1 to win tomorrow. From 10th. Honestly think he's got it in him.

If Mercedes get the strategy right and he doesn’t get stuck in a drs train for too long, then with today’s pace it is entirely doable.
I don’t think any of them had an answer for that pace, he was all over them - straights, braking zones, corners.

I have to agree, although saying that the field in front of him took an ice age to pull up. It’s gotten worse this season fo’ sho’
No I wouldn't I would have said the same thing it's the fanboys like yourself who always see with rose tinted specs

Let’s not start chucking the term fanboy around and have a civil debate, shall we?
