    What a ****in race that was. I put a bet on Albon after the second safety car, I can’t believe Hamilton hit him again. What a race though.

    Quite exciting. Nobody could have guessed how that turned out, even on the last lap!

    Great last lap from Norris to get on the podium. He had a lot of bad luck last year so I’m delighted for him.

    Id kind of fell out of love with F1 in the last decade whe still keeping an eye on results.

    During lockdown however I've been watching a lot of old races and newer ones and caught the bug again.

    Nice to see Lando and Mclaren on the podium.

    Today’s race was like watching an extended British touring cars race. I couldn’t give it any more praise.

    That’s a great comparison. There was so many twists and turns you could never be confident who was going to win. Hopefully it will be the same next week. I believe there’s rain forecast.

    Another brilliant race. The winner was more predictable this time (which does wonders for my Fantasy F1 team) but behind Lewis there was plenty action again. The scrap between Perez, Norris, Stroll and Danny Ric was fabulous, Bottas vs Verstappen was great too.

    Lewis truly is one of the greatest of all time, if not the best. Never thought Schumacher's records would be surpassed but for a man to be on the top of the sport for as long as he's been and still have a few seasons left in him, truly remarkable.

    Lando’s last lap was epic yet again.

    Surprised Vettel is struggling to find a drive.

    I know Racing Point have been mentioned but be surprised to see them bin either driver.

    I can’t see it either, Stroll’s dad owns the team and they love Perez. He’ll end up at alpha romeo, red bull is an outside bet.

    i think he strugged when put under pressure by Hamilton/Mercedes, but chalked it up to not having an equal/better car. Then a couple of years ago Ferrari had a car that was better, but the team and Vettel made mistakes weekly, whilst Hamilton and Mercedes nailed it time after time.

    I think that season kinda broke him, no excuses to use, just wasn't the best driver or team even though they had the best car, and its damaged his self confidence. He didn't seem to fight very hard as Ferrari decided to replace him, and last season seemed to be punctuated by moments of petulance and sulking as Leclerc kept improving and challenged his no.1 status.

    I've never been a fan, but its sad seeing such a successful driver seemingly slowly sliding out of the sport quietly without some of the credit you'd think he is due.

    Procession for mercedes today i feel.
    Hamilton has it wrapped up if he stays out of trouble (and doesnt have too many moments like in yesterdays qualifying)
    Verstappen (3rd) will take no prisoners
    Hulkenburg (13th) wont start (car issue) after his late stand-in for Perez

    Vettel in 10th will make progress but he's not likely to get a podium ahead of Verstappen or Leclerc (4th)

    Front left tyre failure for Bottas and he's dropped out the top 10.

    A few tyre failures now in the last lap.
    Hamiltons tyre has gone too and he's not finished the final lap.

    They should have had him in for a free pit stop.

    A moderately interesting race that burst into life on the last couple of laps!

    ... and we're all set to go next week on less durable tyres!

    Red bull must be kicking themselves for bringing in Verstappen at the end, they’d have won easily if he’d stayed out.

    Both the drivers and constructors' titles sewn up.

    Wouldn't shock me if Hamilton ended up a ten time champ by the time his career is over. Fair enough the Mercedes is the best car but he's made it that way with the team and they wouldn't be able to find him a team mate who could keep up. Even in his debut year he was easily the match of Alonso by mid season.

    Cracking victory for Verstappen yesterday, it’s looking like Mercedes are struggling with tyres in warmer weather, hopefully that will make the races a bit more competitive. Good drive from Leclerc, but Vettel would be as well walking away from Ferrari now.

    I’ve never been much of a Vettel fan but seeing him having almost given up just doesn’t sit right with me. He’s a great driver, multiple world champion and his heart just isn’t in it any more. I wonder how much of that is down to him being treated a pretty badly at Ferrari these past few months? There’s talk of him going to Racing Point next season but I wouldn’t be surprised if he just jacked it all in looking at his body language and comments recently.

    I think he’s just struggling with not being the best driver in the team, he knows he’s being released by Ferrari and it’s had an impact on his form. The car isn’t great, but he’s not getting the best out of it, there’s no way Ferrari would sabotage their position in the constructors championship.
    ps this weeks Grand Prix in Barcelona is traditionally the worst of the year, let’s hope the tyres fall to pieces and it’s really hot.

    It’s a bit of a shame that the last of the F1 family owned teams is gone, but Williams badly needed investment. Hopefully it will see them back where they belong.

    From watching Drive to Survive on Netflix I didn’t really expect anything else. She seemed clueless - a bit like a female David Brent.
