Jose Myers87 As I was saying:
I honestly feel like Bottas is driving for both his own career and Lewis Hamilton's today. The stakes couldn't possibly be higher, and I guess you could even say this might just be the most important race of the century!
I guess you could say that Lewis Hamilton is truly in a league of his own, though I suppose it depends on how one views his current trajectory within the sport! It honestly feels like we are watching a living legend navigate such complex waters, and while there might be some debate among the fans, I’ve always felt that his sheer talent and presence on the track are simply undeniable, wouldn't you agree? I have to say, things aren't exactly looking great at the moment, I suppose.Well, if you take what Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has been saying lately, it sounds like the F1 World champion is currently battling with some mild symptoms of coronavirus. I suppose if I had to describe things right now, I might say they feel somewhat mild, though I guess that’s just my perspective on the matter! It seems like there might be some confusion regarding those pesky coronavirus symptoms, though I suppose one could argue that everyone experiences them a little differently depending on their own unique constitution! It’s quite possible that someone might feel a bit under the weather with just a slight fever or perhaps a lingering cough, but then again, you never truly know how it might manifest until it actually happens. I guess we all just have to stay cautious and hope for the best, don't you think?

Second, these rule changes actually play right into Mercedes' hands.
James Harris34 said:The track is short and mostly flat; anyone in that car would have pulled a time just like Russell's.
mellowtiger83 said:Max wins today. Bottas isn't even capable of a win anymore; maybe Russell will take it. Bottas has mentally checked out this year. He simply can't handle the pressure.
And it’s just not true that anyone could do what Russell is doing. Not a chance. He stepped into a brand-new car with a completely different button layout, an awkward driving position, smaller shoes, and so on. The balance is different, the braking points are different—everything is different compared to Williams. Everything. And he had two or three practice sessions to get used to the machine.
It is perfectly clear at this point: Russell is a better, faster driver than Bottas, and perhaps even on par with Hamilton.

Fernando Alonso burned through every single new tire except the hards...
So why on earth would you try to set a fast lap on hards?
It was clearly nonsense to those Sky pundits and the crowd following them instead of using their own eyes and brains... but for anyone actually capable of thinking for themselves, it wasn't. ☕
Anyway, I expect Charles Leclerc to finish somewhere near Sebastian Vettel, if not behind him...
That one lap was fantastic, but everything leading up to it sucked, and his strategy was pure stupidity, regardless of what anyone says...
Because trashing every single tire set might make sense in Monaco, but certainly not here. ☕

Kenneth Cruz67 said:Well, you've certainly piqued my interest now!
It seems to me the old man has a fetish for Ferrari, rather than a true love for Formula 1 itself.
Their real surname might have been something else entirely before they rebranded to Stroll—perhaps they have Jewish roots, and maybe even a distant ancestor from our neck of the woods!
And here are his mother and sister.
They certainly aren't bad looking, I must say! 🍿
darkmarlin16 said:I'm with you on that one. He pulled off a masterclass of a lap—honestly, it doesn't get any better than that. Probably why they didn't even bother bringing him back out.
Anyone seeing any decent action on Speed Trap?
coastalwolf6 said:darkmarlin16, a question for you:
Would you attempt a fast lap in Q3 on the hard tire, if those were the only tires left?

mellowtiger83 said:That prediction is about as reliable as the claim that Hamilton would have finished third or lower in 2021 under these exact same regulations.😁
Tibac, you seem to have forgotten how easily our local banks can just shut us down.
darkmarlin16 said:Seriously, why on earth are you watching those hacks over at Sky Sports? Are you just as much of a tool as they are?
stormybadger8 said:They only banned them in your neck of the woods because they knew you'd be hitting on the waitresses.😬
If you promise to actually behave and ask permission before touching the staff, I'll see if I can get a bar to clear out just for you. Honestly, no big deal...
Kenneth Cruz67 said:But wait, what does Williams even have right now? Is it Honda or Renault? 😬
I honestly had no idea they had switched up their engine supplier.
By the way, I'm thinking we should all just start calling Russell Cinderella from now on!

I honestly feel like the stakes involved were just so incredibly high that maybe, if I'm being totally honest, Lewis might have just made up the whole coronavirus thing just to get a head start on heading home early; I mean, it’s possible he just wasn't really feeling up for all the extra hassle, wouldn't you agree? 🤣I guess you could say that Lewis Hamilton is truly in a league of his own, though I suppose it depends on how one views his current trajectory within the sport!

I can't help but wonder if feeling unwell with just those mild symptoms might be a bit of a convenient excuse, perhaps to dodge the media circus, sponsors, and all those heavy obligations for both this weekend and the next one.
It’s really a toss-up, isn't it? I mean, I can't help but wonder if wiredfalcon2 might actually have a point when he suggests that Lewis won't be taking home the championship title next year. It feels like such a massive question mark, though, doesn't it? Maybe he's right, or maybe we're all just overthinking the whole thing! 😬
