Hamilton delivers a stunning pole again. The bloke is just ridiculous

Wouldn't say stunning but certainly clever. Why Bottas didn't take the option of getting a 2nd lap in on the Final runs I don't know. All weekend it as been clear that the medium tyres were performing really well after a full lap then recharge lap.

Dominate the sessions apart from the important one and if he had gone with the same idea as Lewis (he was offered it) he probably would have taken it.

Yes I think that is pretty fair. I do like the look of this circuit. Run down to turn one and the tightening into two has potential for fun tomorrow

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Just watching the circuit guide on the Sky F1 build up. Portimao looks bloody brilliant. Hope it is as much fun as Mugello was.

 

[Tredman]

What a start!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fantastic first couple of laps. Sensational.

 

[Tredman]

How the fuck has Max got away with that?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The DRS is too powerful here but there is loads of overtaking.

 

[Tredman]

Lewis has just zoomed off into the distance, fantastic driving.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

So odd that the Mercs just couldn’t warm the mediums but now those tyres are flying. I think Lewis might try and go to lap 45 and finish on the softs at this rate!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Perez v Ocon. Stunning move

 

[Quirkafleeg]

I was going to continue watching it however Hamilton went 7 seconds clear.. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fishing trip by the Quirkster.

How the fuck has Max got away with that?

Agreed. Post race interview he said Perez never left him any room and took himself out. Max's fault IMO, he drifted out into him after taking the corner from a narrow angle.

Gasly staying at Alpha Tauri.

Latest rumour is Checo to Red Bull, Hulk and Mick to Haas with George staying at Williams.

Fully expecting Tsunoda to partner Gasly which leaves Albon out in the cold along with Kvyat.

 

[Carrotdude]

Interesting, would have preferred to see Hulk at red bull personally but interesting to see how close Perez can get to Verstappen if that happens.

 

[Tredman]

Missed this last week, but he used a very offensive term:

Max Verstappen: Red Bull driver apologises for offensive language over team radio - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/54754214

He really is a spoilt little cunt.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Russell defo staying at Williams

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Feels very strange to see Imola again. I remember 1994 so vividly.

 

[Tredman]

Me too, it’s burned into my memory - was listening to the radio at the time I can remember exactly what I was doing (rebuilding my bike and had the chain in my hands) - that’s very unusual for me as I have Aphantasia

 

[Tredman]

Ferrari fucking Vettel over just because now.
