Formula 1 round 19: Brazil GP

Lol, you're a ticket you are.

My initial reaction was that it was an amazing overtake on Norris but I think I was influenced by the commentary after watching it back. Very well timed diving out of the slipstream but Norris left plenty room. Definitely no Schumacher threading the needle on Raikonnen without DRS.

Obviously the fresh engine helped with the overtakes and the straight line speed is the best but I thought Hamilton really showed his class there coming through the field. Have seen other drivers in top cars like Bottas and Perez get stuck in DRS trains for long parts of a race whereas he made light work of it. Also overtook LeClerc going into turn 4 where not many cars in the top half of the grid were being taken.

Great damage limitation by Mercedes. Bottas on softs was key.

The sprint race was a real gift for Lewis there, any other weekend and he's starting from the back tomorrow #blessed

So after seeing a car pass other cars easily without DRS and also scream past DRS trains, saying the merc is the most powerf machine on the grid by a large margin is an absurd claim? Lol

You didn't call anyone out on anything you just made a stupid remark, without any contradicting evidence.

We have all seen you in action when it comes to "defending" merc and Hamilton. Its pointless because you refuse to accept any facts put to you. So, no point in my wasting my time with you past this point.

Where did I infer that Max was doing that? Let us also not forget that Merc have the trick on the rear of the car that stalls the diffuser as well.

I think either way he'd end up on a podium, that Merc is rapid and Hamilton going that aggressive is something else. The man is phenomenal when he really goes for it

Toto is a bitter man. Very strange behavior when the technical infringement was all their own fault and nobody else's.

Wonder how that "no blame culture" is going to work out when the dust settles this time. It's all well and good to say it, but they've never been in a situation where an internal error like this has potentially cost them a title.

With such a big speed advantage and such a long straight into turn 1, I think most of the drivers on the grid would have made most, if not all of the passes Hamilton made.

Well, they didn't. Mercedes-Benz messed up his DRS yesterday, he was sent to the back and he charged up to 5th. If they threw him out of the weekend and sent him home it would have been a dangerous precedent for any other driver who would, and this will happen again to another driver, who had their cargo turn up late and had to get built in a hurry.

That was good to watch , Saniz had an excellent race . I liked the sublte difference in Hamiltons over takes. He tucked in early behind Riccardo cause he seemed to be able match him down the straight and so for his move he was along side before the finish line and drs to finish him off. He pressed vettel in all the corners which had vettel out from Ocon DRs and that made that easier.

I know he has the engine power , but so did Perez over Sainz but good defence can make up for the pace advantage .

Norris was good too, nice move on leclerce .

...

Hope Hamilton pulls off a win today.

Don't care whether him or Max wins the championship, just want it to go down to the wire.

It's been a good year for F1 entertainment wise.
