Too many corners and eventually they tv coverage got lost around the last few laps as they seemed to show overhead shots of the spaggetti junction layout.
Im guessing its and american thing where they start summing up early.
A once a year ordeal . Vegas will make it a twice a year one.
Idiotic motorcade bit at the end left you wishing there was a local grassy knoll.

I feel like Lewis had a solid race, but George just seemed so switched on to the strategy calls whereas Lewis was fumbling and asking his engineers to tell him what to do re: Pit strategy rather than call it himself like GR did.
The two situations were completely different. GR call was a no brainer option to discuss and then take, LH at the SC taking an extra stop or not needed a team call as they could see where that would feed him out in the pack.

Brundle used to be the one voice I'd appreciate on Sky but as time has worn on he's started to fall into the jaded ex professional bracket that you see if you watch football (think Mark Lawrenson)
This year I've switched to watching F1.tv using a vpn and its a breath of fresh air. Ben Edwards and Jolyon Palmer are so much less painful than Crofty and Brundle. Strongly recommend anyone sick of Sky to do the same.
The only thing that would happen would be an "Edwards must go" threadThis year I've switched to watching F1.tv using a vpn and its a breath of fresh air. Ben Edwards and Jolyon Palmer are so much less painful than Crofty and Brundle. Strongly recommend anyone sick of Sky to do the same.
Edit: no need, already done.

And don't think Jolyon gets a pass either:

I quite liked the 'event' in addition to the actual race.
Just a massive shame that Ferrari aren't quite able to race the Red Bulls at the moment - well the front two cars... i.e. once Max is in front they can challenge but not get past. They need to arrive at a package where the downforce is dialled down a touch, but of course I'm sure they know that and there's possibly a reason why they haven't done that yet.
Hopefully some upgrades coming to a number of the cars for Barcelona.

I predicted Verstappen before the weekend started. It's all rather one-sided at the moment, Ferrari doesn't have an answer to the Red Bull top speed advantage, Perez is realistically seldom any threat to Verstappen, and Verstappen himself appears quite within himself given the car advantage he has, and so able to drive calmly.

Crofty just felt extra insufferable this weekend, couldn't be doing with him anymore

Jenson wearing what looks like a Patrizzi dial Daytona 16520.. impressive
How can you tell? I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference from two feet away

He's a racing driver, racing for position. You think he should just wave George past?
No driver on the grid would do that. Apart from maybe Perez......
Very true, you probably wouldn't be in F1 without that attitude to start off with, some of the posters have clearly never seen an F1 race before (or more likely are just hating on Lewis because it's Lewis) No driver on the grid would do that. Apart from maybe Perez......
king petty and also ignores the fact that it does happen and drivers do let their team mates past when on different strategies etc. Perhaps it is you two who lack previous experience watching F1. I wish that comments on F1 didn't get reduced to this absolute playground bullst. We are on here to discuss F1 and talk about it, our opinions will differ and that's fine but we could leave the fan boy ste alone a bit

Not seen enough to make meaningful comparison between Hamilton and Russell's performance but George appears to be doing an exceptional job in all counts.
I agree.Seems daft to try and claim George somehow has better racecraft and tactical thinking than Lewis based on one single race decision. We've seen Lewis make similar bold decisions so many times, very often with good outcomes.
Merc have two very smart drivers. They just need a slightly faster set of wheels..

It appeals to my warped sense of humour, the fact there's an open poll as to who's going to win something 24-48 hours after the result makes me smile, in fact doing it for a second time I found funnier than the first, like a running joke, but I'm always in a weird mood on a Monday.Carry on.
