Well Bottas squeaked pole with Russell second. This race is going to be interesting. What price Hamilton and Russell at Mercedes next year?

Just switched over in time to see a team of engineers and mechanics (or whatever) chatting away in the background behind the presenter who's midway through a segue and one of the guys in the background takes a massive nutshot at one of the others. Brilliant.

Bones

This race has been thoroughly entertaining. Hilarious antics.

I know Bottas "is on a blind date with his tyres" but Russell is showing him up something chronic.

Sergio Perez wins in his first podium after 190+ races. So cool. Couldn't even speak on his way in through the tears.

Feel sorry for the forgotten man Ocon though! No one even wants to mention him!

Bones

Perez was last at the end of the first lap.

MB demonstrating that Hamilton is kissed on the dick in that team.

Hooroo

I see Schumacher's son won the Formula 2 championship this weekend.

So in a nutshell, Mercedes completely fucked up destroying Russel's chances of a maiden victory.

Perez's emotion was absolutely superb viewing though. What a story. What a victory.

I watched a fair bit of post race (which I never do) and the Perez and Russel interviews were great. At the risk of going all tin foil hat though, I think some questions need to be asked of MB. A team which has basically never fucked up, suddenly does when they have a young rookie in embarrassing his team mate.

@MajorRage Russel hadn't even got points before had he? It was a pretty bizarre scenario all around really, they'd only recently pitted and then to double-up, as well as the fuck ups on top of that...

Mercedes have fucked over Hamilton enough, last session he lost two (at least) due to their cock ups. It's not unusual

@antipodean Is that u taking a photo of Lewis taking a photo of his car?

Machpants

Is it doctored, cos what's displayed on his phone appears to be not what the phone camera is pointing at. If so I don't get the joke?

Well deserved, he has been the best British driver in my lifetime by the length of the straight and some
