And that's why Bottas is rated so highly. Superb.

And that's why Bottas is rated so highly. Superb.

Champion of the future in my opinion.

 

[Carrotdude]

Had no idea he was so highly rated, very impressive from him. On a side note I'd love to see Hulkenberg in a competitive car.

Pretty sure Vettel will waltz to victory tomorrow

Presuming its dry, Alonso's race pace was absolutely mighty on Friday. Could do with Hamilton jumping Seb at the start though.

This item on BBC with Moss and Hamilton is fantastic stuff. Really amazing. Wish Stirling wasn't looking so desperately frail.

Eddie Jordan is a complete maverick. It's brilliant to watch.

Does he not make you cringe a bit though? Hilarous scenes when his interview slot was stolen by the German media. He's like the David Brent of Formula 1. Poor Coulthard.

 

[Stan Hullis]

The cringing is what makes it brilliant he's just completely all over the place!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He's an absolute nutjob! Brundle does the pitwalk much better but I am having BBC for this race.

Crap pit stop for Raikonnen. Seeing the replay it was a basic error. They practice these things all the time, so mistakes like that shouldn't happen.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Yep. Compromised his race a bit as well.

Agreed Paddy. Though he is running in 13th, and doesn't look particularly quick, and as I type that he takes 12th.

Alonso is doing a brilliant drive

Hamilton has to do a one stop. Whether it will work, who knows

And Vettel has responded, he has put his pedal to the metal.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And now Lewis pits. Win for Vettel

 

[manhattan project]

Vettel pitted the lap after. Barring a car problem, Vettel should stroll this now. Watch out for Alonso and Weber, they are closing in on Lewis.

 

[manhattan project]

Alonso ready to pounce, can Hamilton hang on to 2nd?

 

[manhattan project]

So easy for Alonso, he bided his time, and when the opportunity came he took it.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

no. that back marker that fucked it should be banned
