Lets hope for rain to spice things up.

[rage2]

[rage2]

YES hahahhahaha

[phreezee]

Hahahhaa. Poor Bottas tho

He’s in 2nd. Working out well haha.

It's like LH wrote the script for today's race.

[rage2]

I voted Vettel as driver of the day. If it wasn’t for him this race wouldn’t been as exciting.

[rage2]

Hamilton summoned to the stewarts for his last second pit lane exit back on track.

[austic]

Only a rep. Gets to keeps it Ferrari fans losing their shit that Hamilton gets off easy etc. I feel we were 30mins away from an epic rain race. Soo close to getting the crazy downpour.

Just watched the 7min highlights on youtube.. OMG, I wish I had cable to watch this..

Wtf happened to the FemiNazi..? LMAO!!! Hilarious.. It was like the sudden realisation that he left the iron on at home..

[redline]

Epic race... one of the best in years

[npham]

What a fucking race. Loved all the tire strategies and how many gambled on heavy rain and then wore out their inters/full wets(WTF was Toro Rosso thinking) in a couple of laps. Bottas has no fucking luck.

[rage2]

McLaren is a fucking mess.

Another impressive stat, Hamilton has won the last 9 rain races. That’s nuts.

[schocker]

SOB, can't believe vettel messed that up
Best moment of the race was obviously gasly on the full wets.
Some real weird moves based on weather, can't other teams just steal with weather info from the others?

[tonytiger55]

Why the hell is Alonso fighting with the race manager...? Thats friggen stupid..

[revelations]

It wasnt just Mclaren - sounded like quite a few teams had issues making desicions, and took some dumb chances (like rain tires in the dry).

Because they made a stupid call to box him way too early... really ruined his race. I was a bit surprised as well with the early call... both him and Max... they know how to drive in the wet unlike that Vettel guy.

Just like his idol. New rain master with a little bit of luck.

[tonytiger55]

This is what I dont understand.. how come the race managers don't know the abilities of the drivers..?

It's a gamble. Alonso was well out of the points at that time, low percentage gamble on the rain hitting hard as soon as they pit. The heavy rain didn't materialize until 5 mins after the end of the race. The entire track was flooded, people had to walk through sewage because all the sewage was backed up. If that happened at the moment they went into the pits at lap 45, they would've cruised by everyone prior to them hitting the pit stops.

Very low percentage gamble as 2 corners started getting rained on. Nothing to lose.
