This was one of the best races at this trackRubbish track. Rubbish race. Yes it was tense at the front but the wheel to wheel action was lacking and I dislike the stupidly high deg these days in F1. It makes it become more of a lottery and pit battle.

That's not saying much sadly.This was one of the best races at this track
Well, he is French...Is one of the brass guys drunk?!!
Also, wtf was that trophy?!
France.. never change
That’s true also lolThat's not saying much sadly.
They are stuck in the protection Lewis stage..problem is it unravels pretty quickly when he's not actually winning or the car is not performing.I wonder what the reason is Merc turned down a fastest lap chance with Bottas
Also interesting how, to Lewis they say "this one is one us". When Bottas says something their response is basically 'get your head down and get on with it'
I think that was Mercs plan as I think I heard Lewis mention the undercut at the 2nd stops but Red Bull beat them to it as well. So the only option left was to go to the end and hope for a miracle .One of the more entertaining F1 races, Verstappens outlap must've been amazing to take 3 seconds from Hamilton, then taking the gamble to pit before the mercs for a big 3rd stint with used mediums. If they hadn't gone for it early i think Mercedes would have done it a lap or 2 later with little to lose, as they'd have easily catched Perez.
He'd pitted first, I hadn't noticed Mazepin was yet to come in. My bad.
Ah that explains it, didn't notice it myself. There was a serious lack of coverage of anyone that wasn't the front 4!
