This is awesome. Good for him. Love Ricciardo. Glad he got to do it.

Great strategy by Red Bull. Think that’s won it for Verstappen as they just seem far quicker

 

[yankspurs]

Not sure what happened with RB. Verstappen’s lost a lot of pace with only having 3 laps more on the tires

 

[WalkerboyUK]

There’s no way Max is going to hold off Lewis for 20 or so laps. Lewis will be all over his back end with 5/6 to go

 

[chrissivad]

If it goes down to the last few laps, it will probably end in a crash.

 

[WalkerboyUK]

Of course Kimi is one of three who refuse to move for Max, gets a B&W flag and steps aside for Lewis.
Bet it wouldn’t have been so easy for Lewis if flags hadn’t been given…

 

[yankspurs]

Perez’s lack of pace has hurt Verstappen imo

I think its going to the last race which is a shame because I don't like that track.

 

[yankspurs]

Wow he held on

Found that a bit boring. They need to find a way to make racing more interesting again and cars that can overtake.

Thank fuck there was at least one good result for the greater good of sport today, been wretched otherwise.

Verstappen comes across as a dickhead & in that documentary, he might as well have just worn “im a fucking asshole” sign. So im not sure about that

Lol lesser if the two evils for me, cannot stand smarmy hamilton at all + he’s an assna fan.

Going to be an epic final 5 races.

And next season with the new rules could be one of the best yet if it helps McLaren and Ferrari etc close the gap.

I also feel sorry for Williams, used to love them, glad they've finally decided to sell to investors and swallow their pride so hopefully they can get back up there at some point too. Also L.Stroll will be determined to get Aston Martin challenging, very exciting times in F1.

Really? The strategy of pits with Ham vs MV was great drama and Vestappen holding out was exciting. DRS helps them overtake but Hamilton couldn't get in the DRS range.

Crazy that Valteri Bottas and Perez are more or less in the same car and Hamilton and Vestappen are finishing 30 seconds ahead of them each race, mental how good they are.

Would rather see them go toe to toe on the track than having to overtake via pit stops. That's why I found it boring as in terms of racing it wasn't there, it was just a great strategic race without much else.

Yea fair points mate

So what are we thinking. Max to assault Lewis (again) in the first corner or will RedBull use Cheko instead?

Go on, Call me cynical!

Yea likelihood Max to try and hit into Lewis but red bull are good on this track and it’s Cheko home race so they might back themselves

Boats will get away fine and stay in first, Hamilton to do his normal and drop down to about 4th and Max will go into second and push botas for first.

Only question is will/can botas hold up the red bulls?!..... Normally I would say no, but he's driving better just nowr so who knows.
