Btw Heath, did you get my PM earlier?

I have now!!! Not having friends, I never look up there!!!

how strange both Ferrari had problems, and both of them different issues. Never really had any warm feelings towards Ferrari in F1, not sure why.

Carnage in the race! Kvyat and Stroll on for a podium as it stands, Hamilton last having pitted 6 (SIX!!) times.

Scenes!

Crazy race - fair play to Verstappen and Vettel for keeping their heads amidst the chaos.

Mercedes nightmare, good news for the Championship.

Is this a good time to revisit Bernie's idea of sprinklers at some races?

 

[The Fear]

Good grief, that was eventful !

Alfas handed 30-second penalties, promoting LH to P9 and Kubica and Williams to P10!! They actually have a point!

Love the way Toto Wolff is such a winner.

Right strop yesterday when Bottas crashed.

Erm.....chill Toto. You will win the constructors and have a world champion driver.

I thought Mercedes got their tactics all wrong. Wrong tyres at the wrong times especially seeing the weather updates during the race.

Mercedes got their strategies and tactics right today. Hamilton back to winning ways.

Well done Lewis!.........

I know Verstappen's tyres were shot, but incredible how Lewis reeled him in over the last 12-15 laps - cleared a 20-second deficit. Brilliant stuff.

Bottas doing his best to get kicked out of Mercedes as well - anther disappointing outing for him.

 

[The Fear]

Amazing strategy, as Hamilton said, he didn't think there was any way he'd be able to make up that distance, but he did it with infinite ease!

My Dad has two tickets for a tour around the Williams factory today.....
So he's taking junior 1.

Arsehole.

Pierre Gasly OUT!!! Literally - Alex Albon has been promoted to partner Max Verstappen for the rest of the season.

Red Bull don't mess around.

Red Bull don't mess around.

Yeah pretty ruthless, aren't they? To be fair, Gasly has been highly underwhelming so far in a very good car, albeit the team is all about Max.

RIP Anthoine Hulbert

RIP Anthoine Hulbert

Yes, terrible, terrible news.

Junior 1 has just shown me the footage.
Terrible.

Great race from Charles Leclerc today, and massive credit to him in dedicating his maiden race win to Anthoine Hubert.

As Lewis was reeling him in towards the end, I actually was rooting for Leclerc to hold him off. Maybe one more lap and Lewis might have had him, but really pleased for CL on a very difficult and emotional occasion.
