Haven’t seen it but will watch the highlights with interest. Jolyon Palmer on the BBC coverage was pretty unequivocable about Verstapoen’s behaviour.
On a separate theme, have you been listening to Hamilton’s hypocritical mouthing about Saudi human rights and Mercedes being sponsored by a firm tied up in the Grenfell Tower cladding scandal. It seems that despite him telling the rest of the world about their moral responsibilities, these issues are nothing to do with him.
Great driver, but complete prick.
-
@catogrande Yeah I saw that, he’s right about the Saudi, and I suspect the sponsors wil be gone as he addressed that at the press event before. Obvs the driver has nothing to do with sponsorship, so not really his fault. I don;t like him at all, his environmental stuff whilst racing F1 and buzzing around in private jets etc. But he’s a great driver, and Verstappen is a cocky dangerous shit head who is like a whiy teen never admitting he’s wrong. So def behind Hamilton more than V

That’s more or less my take on the two of them and of course Horner is such an enabler for Verstappen. Plus of course Hamilton is a Brit so I feel obliged to wave the flag a bit. But by the cringe, he doesn’t make it easy.

Max on pole! Lewis behind. Starting on diff tyres.
Should be a phenomenal race tomorrow
I wonder what's the money on Max to win, but get points deducted cos he drives like a tool. Followed by months of legal wrangling

Great lap from Max under pressure
Hamilton still the favourite because he has the faster car. Lewis is surrounded by cars on the soft tyre though.. that should might make the first few corners interesting
-
@catogrande I've been warming to Hamilton the last couple of races. Liked his quip yesterday after qualifying that at least he'll be able to see where Max is (while laughing).
Also went up in my books when talking about human rights last week and said of his helmet "it's just a helmet".
-
Early drama and Hamilton is leading after 8
-
Perez brilliant.
-
More drama, safety car and now possibly one race lap
-
Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!
-
Man, I got goose bumps when Max took that corner off Hamilton.
Benz team scratching their heads
-
Class by Hamilton.

He's completely turned me around on him. What a GC.
