Have to rewatch the race but I think that pit is needed. Assuming Bottas ended up with the same tires you saw them fall apart at the end.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Yeah not sure what laps they pitted. Lewis, Kimi and Sergio are the best tire managers on the grid, so I give them the benefit of the doubt.
At the beginning of the year, I thought the 2020 F1 campaign would be a snoozefest, but it has really been one of the most entertaining ones I've followed from start to finish.
Ya what's what with that? Don't they play all 3? Wtf...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
As a side note, heck of a race. Feel bad for GR.
No they only play two anthems.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
First one for the winner and the second one for the Winning Constructor.
Yeah I feel bad for GR. It is only going to make him stronger. I think Bottas is done at Merc. I won't be surprised if a driver swap happens for next season.
Bottas will be Lewis' wingman for 1 more year and then hes done the side show.
Ohhhhhhh. That's why they were still playing God Save the Queen. I was confused about that.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

That was quite the race. Par for the course this week I suppose. Leclerc finally got a penalty for his dive bombs as well. Checo though, wow, that was quite the performance. Enough for the RB seat perhaps.
I thought Sebs pit stops were bad until Merc pulled that move but at least Russel was able to show that he deserves the seat for 2022.
The only thing this race proves is Bottas is a very very sub-par driver. I still dont think GR is that good of a driver...
Of course we could talk about all the could've beens all day and night but I see it the same way as you do.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Lewis could've managed his tires better to leave him with enough tire life in the end to be able to decline a pit stop.

I was never on the Russel hype train, he’s fast over one lap but makes mistakes in the race driving for Williams. That said he still destroyed Kubica and Latifi, but it’s hard to judge how good his performance really is. This weekend shows what he’s capable of if he doesn’t have to overdrive the car and just drive at the cars performance envelope. I don’t think it was easy for him at all, he had to deal with a car not suited for him, too small paddles, too small pedals, and even during race he was still learning the steering wheel controls and needed help from the garage. It was an uphill battle for him and he had zero problems getting the most out of the car.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think you’re right, Bottas makes too many mistakes, and Hamilton makes almost zero. Russell didn’t put a foot wrong the entire weekend. That’s what separates a good driver from a mediocre driver, the ability to do that over an entire race distance while maximizing performance. Russell did that with a bunch of factors against him. Everyone says it’s easy to win in a Merc, Bottas shows it’s not that easy unless you’re a really good driver.
Still, 1 race, too early to tell. Russell is still braking earlier than Bottas, so he hasn’t even maximized the performance of the car yet and still able to out perform him in the race. Not every driver can pull that off in his position. I’d argue he made a really good case that he’s definitely one of the better drivers in the field.

When was the last time you saw Hamilton make a mistake? I honestly can't remember.
Mugello 1 race, entered the pitlane while it's closed. Though I wouldn't put that 100% on him.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I remember it clearly since the laps that followed the penalty was entertaining. Closing down a 30 sec gap then passing a bunch of people.
But as far as a driving mistake that costed him positions, last I can think of is Germany 2019.

Stop hating on my beloved Russell.. Your all behaving like that anti gay politician in the recent news that got caught at the gay orgy. You know deep down you all love George too.. Just admit it. I think on race day you all secretly wear Williams Tshirts and drink tea (just like I do).
I admit. It is too early to say if George is that good or if he is just another Jacques Villeneuve. That overtake on Bottas was brilliant though..
I recall Hamilton making a mistake with Rosberg. Hamilton is good, he is in a good car with no real competition. So all he has to do is manage the car instead of race. If he had some real competition with another competitive team. I think he would have to change his strategy of managing the car to race and factor in other variables.
Bottas is making a lot of mistakes, I think he is feeling the pressure. But from a team perspective it works well. You would not want a Max Verstappen and Hamilton as team mates. They would just take each other out.
