Yea great season so far. I have really enjoyed it.

Gasly has been great this season btw.

^ Indeed. Quietly doing a great job and, pretty much, carrying the team all season.

Also... missed this during the race, but it's pretty impressive. To have the awareness and mental capacity to do that. Yes, it was a bit risky and ultimately, it didn't work out, but it was worth a shot.

Another +5 for Lewis because of a new engine.
Great start to close the gap to Max…

Never take anything they say or what happens during FP's at face value.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Lewis is taking a 5 place penalty on Sunday right?

 

[Sinner]

Welp. Just didn't have the pace again. At least we're somewhat close to Ferrari.
Pierre on fire ATM.

Lewis and that Merc looking crazy fast after the engine switch. It might be too late tho.

 

[jewelknows]

^if any of the previous races showed us anything, I wouldn't read into any of Mercs FP's. RBR has their car dialed. And Max is on pointttt

 

[Sinner]

Going on Twitter and seeing Lewis fans and Max fans taking turns downplaying how fast their cars are.

 

[the natural mystic]

I think the Merc is faster in one lap but the redbull has better race pace. Exciting to see.

I do enjoy the sprints on Saturday. quick fun

I'm not sold on Sprint Races. Silverstone was fun cuz it was new and different for F1... but upon closer examination, it was only exciting cuz Alonso started on Softs, while everyone around him were on Mediums. Had everyone been on the same tyre, it could end up being a train. This only works if someone goes on a different tyre strat or of a really fast car qualified out of place.

Seems like a lot of F1 fans aren't sold on it either... but looks like Crypto F1 has decided already.

Not a fan either. I find it unnecessary and dangerous. You put sundays race at risk.

Could be a DSQ for the qualifying session, so he'd start the sprint from the back championship hopes not looking good anymore

 

[Sinner]

The plot thickens.

 

[jewelknows]

Well damb

 

[Sinner]

So much drama.

Looks like Max could get penalized, too. And it would be an incredibly stupid pen... as in, Max was incredibly stupid for touching the car (if he actually did). It's a clear rule... everyone knows it. Could Max have altered the Merc RW simply by touching it? Highly unlikely. Those rear wings can support the weight of hundreds of pounds. But Merc will argue the hell out of that... and for good reason. It's a valid argument to get Lewis off the hook.

 

[kanyeezy411]

Hopefully no penalty for both of them. I want to see them fight on the track today and tomorrow

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Somehow Vettel will get a penalty out of all this

 

[haicheo]

For someone who was talking smack about giving Netflix interviews, buddy Max sure is giving them quality content for next season.
