Where did that Russell lap come from?! Will be interesting tomorrow, Hungary is generally a nightmare to overtake around so am expecting strategy to play a huge part.

I have to admit - I did not think we would see Mercedes on Pole with a standard quali

Bad news - two cars behind him should split strategies - one will go for the undercut, the other will follow Russell.

Good news - Its Ferrari, there is a decent chance they will screw up the strategy call...

They keep making really weird decisions during races, which I think will ultimately cost them the championship.

My two favourite words
No Power ?

Lewis for the win!

I got death threats after F1 title decider - Masi

Former race director Michael Masi says he received death threats after the controversy in Abu Dhabi that saw Max Verstappen claim his debut world title last year.

Has he ever apologised or accepted he was wrong?

No sympathy from me when he brazenly fixed the result. Fuck him. Ruined a sport I used to love for me

Very annoying still. Lewis should have got his 8th, cemented his place in history and then retired. Masi robbed him of that and doesn't deserve forgiveness.

 

[Glasseye]

No one deserves threats to him or his family, but he has never acknowledged or apologised for his actions, and should no longer have a role in Formula 1

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

My take on the Masi situation- he thought he was doing the right thing. He thought a last lap shootout between Verstappen and Lewis was the right way to settle the race. But, Masi came from the marketing side of F1, and did not understand the racing side well enough. I doubt that Masi understood the vast advantage that Verstappen had in that situation due to the tire change. And, so the decision was not a last lap shootout, but rather handing the title to Verstappen.

I think a lot of you could really do with letting this shit go.

Lets say he comes out and apologises, let's even say he swears he will quit his career and never involve himself in any motorsport ever again - what changes? Absolutely nothing.

Yes, for all of the fans who have this raging boner for Lewis it was frustrating, but shit happens.

I've cocked up at my job before because I let others pressure me into making the wrong call . I learned from it and I won't make the same mistake again, I'm just lucky that my decision affected dozens of people who aren't famous, rather than one multi millionaire who has frequently had fortune on his side.

Move on, come to peace with it.

Ocon is determined to ruin Alonso's race today.

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Verstappen is such a lucky **** with that spin.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Verstappen is such a lucky **** with that spin.

Doesn’t have to be lucky when you have Ferrari making these strategy calls as well

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Need a red bull failure issue otherwise maxs race easily with this new engine pace ?.

has been a very good race with top 6 all interchanging but shame for Russell, merc still don’t quite have the pace unfortunately but much more competitive at least.

 

[tobi]

Ferrari

 

[Yiddo100]

Didn't think many of the Ferrari strategy team will have a job after the summer break

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Max and Lewis far more friendly on the podium and cool off post race room than I’ve ever seen. Wonder if they’ve had words recently to get on better terms.

Or could be max is just chilled now because he’s miles ahead in the championship ?

 

[tobi]

Toto just said it, Ferrari made the mistake prior to today by not having another set of Medium's.

 

[TallBlokePH]

That Ferrari strategy team need taking out the back and shooting. Absolutely hopeless
