    If they're even remotely close at the end of the season you know Toto will be having a chat with his star wingman.

    He doesn't have the balls of a younger driver who would make a run for it like Verstappen or Vettel 10 years ago. He'll do as he's told. They're not paying Lewis $40m+ to come second and Bottas is as exciting as watching paint dry.

    It's a shame Max isn't in Bottas' seat. Would be tearing Hamilton a new one and make this two horse race interesting again.

    Not the most boring Monaco ever, was fun watching Max chip away at Hamilton. Good result for Seb considering how bad of a weekend it was for Ferrari. At least Mercedes can’t 1-2 the entire calendar now.

    What a melodramatic ******* Lewis was knowingly being. The mediums weren’t even that bad just wanted to make it seem more dramatic when he won. Fake struggle.

    Only because Red Bull had an unsafe release, blocking Bottas. Otherwise it would have been another easy 1-2 lol. Something to aim for next year!

    He's doing a great job bringing fans up close like that. Most of what we get from F1 is heavily scripted so it's great to see two drivers and former rivals on the track having an open discussion. Ricciardo even said it was the longest conversation they've ever had.

    At one point they went into detail about braking technique with Nico revealing certain things he believed helped him win the championship and he had to censor some of it because he surely divulged a little too much about Mercedes.

    Funny story about Schumacher.

    "There's so many examples. One, Monaco qualifying. There’s only one toilet in the garage and so he’s in the toilet and I go down and it’s 10 minutes before and I know that I have my two-minute session now for the last pee, then jump in the car and go, qualifying. So I knock on the door because it’s always locked. ‘Nico here, please let me in’ because usually it’s the mechanics who will then know in this moment I have to be the priority. No answer, nothing. So I’m like knocking, knocking — no answer, locked — but I can hear that someone’s in there.

    “Here was Michael, in the toilet, leaning against the wall looking at his watch and he knew as long as he made it out with three minutes to go, he could just about jump in the car, put the seat belts on and go before losing actual time and ruining the whole team strategy of qualifying. He’s in there looking at his watch, just like chilling out, counting down, and I’m outside in full panic mode because I can’t go in qualifying with a full bladder, it absolutely sucks like anything.

    “There’s no options for me. I went for the oil bucket option in the corner. There was no option. Mechanics working and running around and I’m just there. I managed to do what I needed to do but the panic had such an impact on my qualifying. While I’m with my oil bucket, the door opens, Michael walks out and as soon as he leaves from the corner he starts walking faster because he knows it’s like two seconds to go until qualifying. And these games all day long.”

    So the first lap in the whole race that Vettel is pressed by Hamilton, he goofs up and his recovery was questionable. Sucks that it’s a 5 second penalty, but Hamilton’s pressure caused that miscue and you can’t let it slide.

    Vettel made a mistake which he quickly corrected but was he supposed to do? Hang his balls out on the grass and wait for Hamilton to sail past?

    Stewards nailed him after scrutinizing the move to the right upon regaining control which let's face it every driver who isn't a cucked up wingman would make instinctively as they glance in their mirrors. Hamilton even admitted he'd have done the same thing.

    “It’s a natural instinct that we have. You’re not going to go, ‘Actually I’m going to pull to the left and let them bloody go by.’ He did block me, but unfortunately he went off track, and the way the rules are written, that’s how it’s prescribed.

    “I watched the replays. It’s obviously very close. What I can say is if I was in the lead and I made a mistake and went wide, I probably would have done the same thing. It happens so quick, and you’re just trying to hold position. And when I say I’d do the same, I would have tried to squeeze him too.”


    They're killing this sport.

    “It’s a natural instinct that we have. You’re not going to go, ‘Actually I’m going to pull to the left and let them bloody go by.’ He did block me, but unfortunately he went off track, and the way the rules are written, that’s how it’s prescribed.

    “I watched the replays. It’s obviously very close. What I can say is if I was in the lead and I made a mistake and went wide, I probably would have done the same thing. It happens so quick, and you’re just trying to hold position. And when I say I’d do the same, I would have tried to squeeze him too.”

    They're killing this sport.







    If Ricciardo & Kimi can rejoin the track in cars with far less grip than current spec, I'm sure our friend Seb could have also.

    No reason to cut across to the racing line and force another racer to take evasive action. If he held the inside line, no penalty. Likely overtaken, but still legal.

    All these post race theatrics have worked a treat for the German. The casuals have thrown daggers at the FIA whilst forgetting that once again, he bottles it under pressure.

    I will concede this - the FIA misjudged this penalty. In the interest of the sport, a reddress of position would have been more appropriate. Punishes Vettel but allows him a chance to overtake. A 5s penalty is piss poor in this instance, absolutely no incentive for overtaking.

    Edit: Images were potato

    Agreed. No excusing Vettel being weak sauce under pressure these days. He's allowed Hamilton's confidence to soar secure in the knowledge that even if he's not in the fastest car on race day Ferrari will find a way to fuk it up and hand a win to Mercedes.

    It might warrant a penalty but 5 seconds is laughable. They're already running the sport into the ground by waiting until 2020 to introduce rule changes. Decisions like this are icing a turd filled cake right now.

    Anyway no excuses for Vettel. It's way past the point of being embarrassing now. You know I'm still salty about Ricciardo being overlooked by Ferrari when he was sitting by the phone waiting for a call this time last year. I don't think he'd be making mistakes like Vettel because he was extremely clean with RBR until he stalled on contract negotiations, Max stopped crashing, he became Webber 2.0 in the team, and everything started going wrong with his car.

    Cliffs: I wish he was in that Ferrari instead of toiling away at the back of the grid in a lemon.

    I hope the rules change it to something way more competitive for more manufacturers.

    The argument that Mercedes is doing things that good, and that other people should do good too, and its not their fault means something is fundamentally wrong because the other teams just can't compete or get close.

    So whatever the difference is, its such a bitch of a difference that whole multi million dollar, multi hundred person organizations cant figure it out.

    If all those people cant figure out what to do then it has to be something more sportive.

    Its just insane that so many organizations cant catch up over years. Something is fundamentally wrong.

    They gotta figure out something in between a spec series and what we have now. Something where talent and skill can thrive but not so much that people just cant even compete, whatever that difference between them is wrong. Weather its money or organization.

    At least others should get close sometimes.

    Looks like Ferrari is finally going to get their first W of the year tomorrow. Not sure if good or bad thing. If Mercedes had swept the entire season, the F1 bureaucrats would HAVE to fix this fukking sport.

    Don't get too excited. There's still 71 laps for Ferrari to fuk this up.
