I'd hoped we'd be rid of him and Sirotkin ...
And Hartley, and Gasly ...

Wow, double heart attacks after routine schoulder surgery. I read he was in a deep coma but had not read double cardiac events as the complications. I was thinking stroke. Too young.
Just reading about him now, we went to the same university albeit in a far different time. Sounds like he’s lived a high stress and caffeine lifestyle along with decades of smoking. Finally caught up to him.
Oh, a smoker? So sad. You would we think by today people could understand the disease it causes. There are so many programs to help quit these days as well. Hard way to learn you're not invincible.
That was one of a collection of issues. He never slept and was overworked. RIP.Oh, a smoker? So sad. You would we think by today people could understand the disease it causes. There are so many programs to help quit these days as well. Hard way to learn you're not invincible.
Thanks, I just read that about his not sleeping. Was that just his work drive, or a medical condition?
Sounds like work drive. He would attend meetings in Detroit and Turin in the same day (one via teleconference). He never slept. Total workaholicThanks, I just read that about his not sleeping. Was that just his work drive, or a medical condition?
So I’m right in thinking there’s another F1 race this weekend? Hungary? And that Seb and Max are fastest followed by Danni and Kimi, the Merced then next.
Should be interesting. I hope Seb crashes again, I’ll laugh haha!

Oh dear has he thrown his toys out again? He needs a nappy change and then put down bless him.
He acts like a baby after all.. he is a prime example of someone who let the more then good enough driving do all the talking and then keep his mouth firmly shut else where! I see he’s complained he didn’t get enough accolade and praise for last weekend

Lewis attacking Sky Media today on Social Media. Poor guy just can’t get the love he wants.

Ferrari P1 and P2. Both RBR will have mechanicals. Bottas P3
No chance, Max will dominate again. If it rains then Lewis will win anyway unless his strategists messes up again and they blame their computer..
Agree RBR is fast, but will they finish? I don’t trust Renault for the remainder of the season with RBR.
[doublepost=1532787339][/doublepost]Nice effort by Gasly for P6 in the rain.
What happened to the RBR's? I understand Daniel had traffic and yellow flag issues, but he never looked good.
Max who I thought was good in the wet (and let's be honest doesn't have to worry about his crap engine as much), yet he was nowhere.
Lewis is always strong in the wet. Balls of steel. But I thought the number two drivers, Bottas and Kimi did really well.
As did Sainz. Hope the race is as exciting tomorrow as qualifying.

Hahahahaha I see the Red Bull team B out classed and just out polled the team A cars....
The start will be very very very interesting, Torro Rosso, Red Bull, Torro Rosso... hmmm..
Ricardo had rotten luck. If it’s raining I expect carnage at the front of the grid in the first lap.
If it's raining I expect to see Lewis drive off.
If it's dry I expect to see Lewis drive off!
Actually it's due to be dry and with the track being hard to pass on it's likely to be decided in the pits!
I know! Very weird from RB today. I thought their Q1 tyre timings were bad especially putting Danny on the softs and letting him run forever. Max was complaining about the setup the whole time. I really thought they had a chance at the front row but now the podium seems like a long shot.
That’s Lewis buggered then! Really don’t see why the Mercedes team struggle with strategy so much?
Also if RB can get there act together they can dominate it, it’s another track built for their car which makes it even more embarrassing that they poled so low.
No idea where Ferrari will end up.
If it rains though then Lewis will storm it.
PU Failure lap 7. There needs to be an investigation into the **** PU’s Renault is currently supplying RBR IMO.

Max's team radio comments were great.. full of bleeps. I imagine there will be a big blowout between RBR and Renault during the summer break and hopefully this is the last time it happens.
I just need to say this..... Ferrari guys are officially totally retarded
If you are referring to the pit stop, at least they didn't launch him with an unsecured tire. It also did not help that Sainz failed to yield for nine corners when Seb was behind him which cost him over a second on track. That should have been a Time Penalty for the Renault for Ignoring Blue Flags.
And Bottas just hit Vettel, but no damage it appears to Seb while Valteri has wing damage.
And now Bottas just ran into Daniel (due to lack of downforce from his damaged wing).
Well you certainly called it.
Now can Lewis break the "Hungary Curse" and go on to win the WDC?

Congrats to Mercedes for taking advantage of all the Ferrari errors today. Congrats to Daniel in P4 for surviving the "Bottas Battering Ram" today.
WCC tightens up again. Gonna be a fun 2nd half.

Keep your eyes on Kimi in the 2nd half. Ferrari takes the WCC, IMO.
