Bad luck for Seb with MGU-K failure and can only hope that Max catches up to inject some fun!

I hope he catches Leclerc and passes that whining little bitch!

[M5Rick]

It's just Leclerc now taking on the goliath of both Mercs in front of him.

Well I support Ferrari as a team and any differences should be sorted on the track with Seb having a reliable car.
He said ''lets have the f-----g V12's back'' as he parked his motor.

I know DNF isn't related to it but he should've pitted First not Leclerc!

10 to go I think its all over,Leclerc has ran out of steam..waiting for the radio message that will never come: 'Ham let Botas pass'

[Fender150]

Great strategy by Mercedes, put themselves in that striking position, and great gift from vets mguk as well.
He did have a great start, that swap business just hindered their race

Seb is back. The car didn't work for him today but he is definitely back and if Ferrari have any sense in them (they usually don't) they would let Seb and LEC take it to the track and race each other. This preferential treatment and politics BS destroys trust within the team and destroys the trust we have as fans in the team.

Ferrari must be careful not to let themselves into a quandary but I believe Binotto is doing his best to keep the tigers happy.
It is surely better there than in Merc where Ham is the gladiator and Bottas always the slave who does what he is told.

its great to see Merc's win again especially with a 1-2. !!
in Raikkonen's pit that front jack guy really had some tough but funny to watch moments.. Raikkonen had a bad race day really..

i believe in karma, and i guess Seb may start to believe in karma as well.. cause no one ll tell precisely that if early pushes in the race caused Vettel's MGU-K problem or not..

So does Villeneuve:

'Karma punished Ferrari' methinks not.A short shelf life MGU-K punished Ferrari Mr.Villeneuve and Ferrari turned the wick down on Leclerc's so it would not be repeated on his.

Well...I'm pretty sure this was from *before* the race..

Hahaha if Jaques Villeneuve said something then it's automatically BULLSHIT 😂

[gatorfast]

Interesting race. Tough break for vettel which turned out to be a tough break for Charles as well since the safety car allowed the mercs to stay in front.

Charles was honoring Lewis....

According Lewis and MAX , the Ferrari's got a Jet-Mode on the straights , their speed is unreal !
After the todays race we saw the Jet-Mode is still not enough . Because they screwed it again with their pitstop strategy.
A sad day for Sebastian...Not bad from MAX ,he's doing more with less like usual .

[iamwingman]

I thought Albon deserved driver of the day.

Charles is funny when he's turned on, need more like him.
The red jet-mode was great at the start in fact going into hyper..perhaps too much of it and as the saying goes:what goes up,must come down.
Max worked miracles with his RB though on this particular track sadly falling back then catching up a bit at the end; it showed the relentless pace the front runners were using.

[msk340i]

That "swap" doesn't sit right with me. I watched a million replays and Seb and HAM obviously got a better start than LEC. LEC couldn't have possible defended against both of them and one of them would've overtaken him. He actually had the nerve to say Seb (car no. 2 as he referred to him) didn't get a better start. Is LEC really that delusional with self-importance?
And what LEC is telling media doesn't make any sense. He saying the agreement was to put Seb first. But if you think you're the faster if the two why would you be second? The slower is always second to block the car in 3rd.

[NickyC]

The supposed swap was a ridiculous joke, way to go Ferrari leaving Vettel out there too long and f'ing up his race (before the mechanical failure of course). Vettel should gtfo of there after this season, retire and go do something else.

"Bring back the xxxxing V12s" - Seb
