Stonking effort from Stoff.

like the blown up tyre some races ago in the final laps

Vettel was lucky not to get a ban for his idiotic shit in Baku, so any bad luck since then is just karma returning and no chance these 2 will ever race in the same team.

Hamilton out driving the car at the moment, Vettel would have got pole I'm sure. Vandoorne continues to impress, I'm excited to see him and Alonso next year with an actual engine

i know, just wanted to see them in the best cars possible fighting it out on equal grounds..

Vettel is a cunt anyway

i dont think he is a cunt really..just a head of a winner..wanna win at any price, must be pretty frustrating to drive a lesser car

 

[The Bear]

He's a childish prick. Hamilton can be a sulky moaner but Vettel (and Max too) are just screaming babies when things aren't going their way.

for me, everybody that got this far, F1 gotta have a winners mentality so i think all have pretty much the same mindset Bear..imagine Hamilton driving the Ferrari for example..would be the opposite

 

[Carrotdude]

I don't think Hamilton is that bad, he gets more down than petulant or dickish when it's not going well. Vettel's true colours come out when things don't go his way, Max may settle down a bit as he is only 20 today which is ridiculous considering how quick he is. Ricciardo is great though, always smiling and very rarely moans or acts like a dick. Plus he's bloody quick too, I hope he gets a shot at a championship at some point.

Ricciardo is supposed to be a genuinely nice bloke.

I can confirm that Webber is. When he was driving for Red Bull he had a very nice house not far from my parents, and he found a lovely old pub / restaurant in a place called Mentmore that was sadly going to seed, and pumped a fair amount of dosh into sorting it. He still owns it now, and was often there. Really good bloke.

webber seemed like a really nice guy, so glad it was genuine..good driver as well..

 

[FrankMunro-371]

A brilliant drive by Vettel, and he is now fourth with 20 laps to go. And he is chasing hard after Riccardo, though he is still some way behind him. Third may be the best he can hope for.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Vettel right behind Riccardo now, only a matter of time before he gets third place.

 

[Carrotdude]

He's dropped off now, Ferrari managing the car for some reason. Verstappen has shown how good he is today, comfortably beaten a very fast teammate in Ricciardo. Hamilton has done a good job in a car that appears third fastest this weekend, Bottas has been nowhere. Mercedes will be a bit worried by the pace of their rivals going into the last 5 races

 

[AndyWolves]

The mercs have got away with it this weekend. I think they had an aero upgrade which hasn't worked

Ferraris were quicker and should really have had a 1-2 so it's a bit of a missed opportunity for vettel

 

[Kenny]

Vettel and Stroll crash into each other on the lap back to the pits! Totals the rear end of the Ferrari. Could be damage to his gearbox. Insane end to the race

 

[Carrotdude]

First race that red bull have won on merit for a long time although Vettel probably would have had it if he'd started up the front. That stroll and Vettel thing was plain bizarre!

 

[Kenny]

Ferrari were the best car by a mile and got a 4th & DNF. 2 weekends in a row they should have won but have given Lewis an extra 31 points to his lead.

 

[Freddeno]

more bad luck for vettel

 

[Kenny]

more bad luck for vettel

Not sure that was bad luck. Not quite sure why he was so close to Stroll. Need to see the onboard camera on Stroll's car to see if he turned in, but I don't think he did.
