Another fantastic race and what a circuit. 3 red flags causing stoppages. :shock:

Hamilton claiming his 90th win, 1 away from Schumacher's record. Bottas drove better in this race compared to last week. So glad that Albon got his first podium to take 3rd, after so much stick from fans and pundits alike.


Best radio call during the race came from Williams’ driver G. Russel. His engineer was asking him to push:

“I’M DRIVING MY ASS OFF LET ME GET ON WITH IT” :lol:

So sad for George Russell , another sniff at a point failed him, he was 8th before the last red flag came out beating Vettel :( . Just hope he gets it towards the end of the season or sooner. :)

Great result for Daniel Ricciardo to come 4th, huge fan here!... :D

Another bad communication error from Mercedes to Hamilton cost him a win.

With a 10 second penalty for practicing a race start in the pits cost Hamilton a race win. Though he was first awarded a 2 point penalty on his licence has now been rescinded after the race.

Bottas wins, Verstappen 2nd and Hamilton 3rd.

Dull race for me. :cry:

Yep, very dull race at the front. Although I don't think the communication cock-up cost Lewis the win. It cost him 10 seconds, and he was more that 10 seconds behind Max, and he just wasn't catching him. Without that penalty he would have been challenging Max but I don't think he would have caught Bottas.
Basically he lost it in Q2 on Saturday.

Hamilton equals Schumacher's record of 91 tallies of Wins .

Verstappen 2nd and Daniel 3rd.

Hulkenberg did a great job coming 6th from 20th on the grid.

Bottas retires and almost certain Hamilton has the WC in the bag. ;) 70 odd points clear of Bottas.

Ricciardo driving well. Almost certainly regretting leaving Renault now - they are on the up and up.

Maybe. He's saying he's not - but then again he would say that, wouldn't he! :lol:

But keep in mind where's he's going. McLaren are also on the up-and-up. And both teams are neck-and-neck in the title fight this season.
Renault are primarily car manufacture and can pull out at any time, as we've seen with Honda. Whereas McLaren are primarily a racing team so are not going anywhere.
So don't feel too sorry for him! :D
