    Haha

    There is pretty much nothing I like about Red Bull, except the fact that they put a lot of money into all sports.

    Ok fair enough. I do agree with the money fact as it grows the sport massively.

    Looking forward to the Belgium GP. What do you predict the grid will be? who will start from pole?

    That was a brilliant race by Russell. Guy has no luck and his team should take a long hard look at themselves.

    @Billy-Tell

    Yeah.
    Great racing now from the top 8.
    Gotta be careful with any adjustments you make now, easily make your car slower.
    Tyre management critical.
    Thought all the cars were pitting for tyres to early.
    Hamilton said his tyres were still ok both times he pitted.
    Russell's one stop strategy was an obvious move to me.
    Not sure the weight issue would have made any dif in the actual race, DQ was fair tho.
    Weight is black and white.
    Although...they did weigh him twice (smack on first time)...must of made the officials suspicious...
    Mercedes engineers probably knew they were going to be in trouble while the race was still on.
    Left 2.8 litres of fuel in the tank!

    Might clear the way for Liam Lawson to join whatever they call Alpha Tauri now. I would have been surprised to see LL elevated directly into RB from the reserve spot

    @canefan Hopefully, but Perez comes with a bucket of cash in Spanish speaking sponsorship.

    Yeah. He is performing like shit at the moment though, just a waste of space

    Possibly made it that little bit easier to fend off Hamilton at the end and also keep some life in his tyres with only one stop?

    Kiwi driver Liam Lawson’s F1 ambitions have hit a speed bump with news that Red Bull bosses are backing their struggling driver Sergio Perez of Mexico and

    Perez is lucky he's such a financial power, because he's certainly not doing his talking on the track right now

    If he keeps his form up it could make the race for the constructors Championship interesting

    Constructors championship should be a good fight now. Particularly with Perez not helping much

    He's a bloody lucky boy to still have a seat. It actually makes a mockery of the perception that F1 is the pinnacle of the sport when guys like Perez and Stroll get to drive

    @canefan Stroll hasn't been doing that much worse than Alonso lately. There are worse drivers for you to bitch about.

    I'm intrigued to see how shit that Williams actually is next year now, whether Sargent was on a hiding to nothing and Albon is as good a driver as the pundits suggest.

    Brundle suggesting there will be 5 antipodeans driving next year.

    Boring race yesterday. Terrible start by Norris but ended up winning by roughly 20 seconds. If he knew how to start he would win most races. I’m yet to see him make a competent start.

    @Billy-Tell it was strange eh, he just kept putting time on Max, but no one behind max was making a dent on him until he realised he was safe.

    Piastra flying up on le Clerc then just settling in behind him wasn't flash from him.

    It's a boring track but McLaren's progress under these current regs is astonishing. Their car was originally back of the grid terrible and in the space of a few seasons it's now clearly the fastest car on the track. With two very capable drivers I can see McLaren winning the constructer's championship.
