If Aston have fallen away this much and mclaren have progressed this much I see a 3rd at least in WCC.

Well it certainly was in race pace today.
Need a few different circuits/locations to see if it really is yet I think.
Certainly a crazy jump from the opening races of this season.
I don't think there is a second fastest team at the moment. I think there are tracks that suit different cars.
Agreed. I also think Merc should remember Lewis was only up there because of the SC. Without it, where would he have been 5/6th at best?
Their car couldn’t even get past the McLaren on soft tyres and with DRS. That’s shockingly bad.

Not even Lewis Hamilton had that kind of lead

Is the Dutch national anthem made up of different seasonal tunes?
I‘m sure I hear bits of “On the nth day of Christmas” at the start and “We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” at the end.

Confused by the rating some given this race. It was mostly a snooze fest. Even the battle lower down that we thought might happen was pretty much negated by the tyres being able to last for ever. The SC brought some action, but was out too long. Definately not a 7/10 like most people have voted for it. I feel people just vote high when a driver they like does well, rather than taking a more objective look at the race.
Lol, wow ok Russell. Totally throwing shade at Hamilton's podium with such emphasis on "deserved". Clearly mega bitter.
Yes, Lewis was lucky, but come on man, support your teammate. No need to say a competitor in a rival team deserved it like that.

I agree. I don't think there is sa second fastest team currently, it's track specific some tracks will suit certain cars better.

Really happy for McLaren and a great job by their drivers. I wonder if Lewis will be driving for them in the 2024 season if this performance boost has some longevity? It’s where he started - maybe that’s where he wants to finish.
Generally an OK race. Not sure how Stroll avoided penalties. George seems proper bitter at Lewis’s podium.
Genuinely hope McLaren can keep this up and push Max a bit. Not saying he is having it easy but the performance advantage is definitely providing a comfortable safety net and it would be nice to get another team genuinely in contention.
Also, WTF is going on with Perez…..? Has he checked out in his head do you think?

And so it continues, I haven’t been bothered to watch a single race this year.
Hamilton to McLaren isn't the worst suggestion. If their performance keeps up, sure Merc would love to take Norris.
Personally I'm finding Russell more and more unlikeable, not that I was ever his biggest fan.nut he seems to have got worse.
Thanks for letting us know.
