I feel like if Ricciardo insist on the tattoo thing it would be mean. Unless the guy loves tattoo.

He is just 10 sec behind Leclark who did not spinorama. Did I miss something? The two Ferraris appear equal this race.

Can't help but to feel that records broken today have a bland taste because I'm old and grumpy. Because back then it was real cars, they didn't put SC out for rain and drivers were humans showing real emotions #rant

People said exactly the same when Michael was winning every other week

Schumacher set those records because Ferrari worked hard (ie almost 24/7 testing). Lewis is setting them because teams aren’t allowed to work hard to catch up.

Leclerc did not stop during Norris' SC. That certainly didn't help him.

Ferrari dominant: "It's the other teams fault for not doing a good job"

Mercedes Dominant: "It's Mercedes and the FIA's fault for some other bullshit reasons"

Anyway, that race was a lot better than it had any rights to be

Thank you 20 drops of rain sending everyone into a panic and a random SC for a little bitty bit of flames.

Alternatively, Schumacher set those records because Ferrari had an obscene budget and owned two circuits that they could test at all the time. Lewis is setting them when Mercedes don't have that massive advantage

See, it depends on how you spin it

Goes to show how good Mercedes really are tbh to have this advantage.

Those are some talented engineers and managers.

one thing is certain, each victory by Mercedes decrease F1 value

if it wasn't for the SC Hamilton would lap even Ricciardo, in one of those abominations we used to see in the turbo era, but at least in those days leaders dropped off contention because cars weren't reliable

Once again, the racing behind the leaders was really entertaining. Happy for Grosjean to get some points. I wonder if Perez could have finished on the podium by taking the same gamble, or whether Ricciardo would have breezed past on fresh tyres.

I can't see Albon lasting much longer, sadly. Gasly was demoted for less.
