i think they might have... still hammy starting 4 th vettel 9th this is probably leclercs best shot at a win so far

assuming max doesnt end him

anyhoo..norris kimi and gio right behind them... thats awesome

this should be fun (that said... it better be i’m watching it back to back with motogp)

Poor Rossi, glad to see Vinales hold it together for once.

For F1 I’ll say, Max Verstappen for the win. With the hot temperatures, I just think their tyre usage is slightly better . Lando Norris best of the rest.

vinales did good for himself.... was half expecting him to drop it in last 2 laps

i think max has a pretty good chance today

guess we’ll find out in a few minutes

I hope LeClerc can hold off those 2 Mercs behind him, but a Mercedes win feels inevitable after that start.

Tire strategy and pit stop timing will be crucial. He’s built up a small gap to Bottas but it’s not increasing as much as I would have hoped.

Chuckles > gin-san - shitpost specialist 06/30/2019 at 09:28

Maybe if LEC catches the tail of the field and picks up some DRS that’ll help. But I agree that pit stops will be crucial, and Mercedes seems to be pretty good at those.

Great overtake on Kimi... is actually getting away from him now. Should be able to keep Gasly behind at this rate since he can’t overtake Kimi.

Looks like we’re okay... I think he’s just mimicking Hamilton’s car hypochondria and found that extra gear by doing so.

It’s nice to be reminded that Hamilton is human, Mercedes can be beaten, and that there are other incredible drivers on the grid. Really awesome so far from the whole top 10, I don’t think you can fault anyone’s performances up there today.

Ves didnt leave any space onthe outside for Lec tho...and they were side by side
Basically it was the same maneuver as the last lap, but Ves bumped Lec off
I dont envy the stewards right now....

That was probably the best F1 race I've watched this year. If more of them were like that, I'd be more into this sport.

That was actually way better race than what I thought it would be.

I hope the stewards won’t affect the results. (although I was rooting for Leclerc on the final laps)

The thing is, I understand if he gets a penalty, I don’t agree with it. I thought the same with Vettel in Canada.

In my view VER has full lock on the wheel and was deep in the corner... Leclerc was never going to be able to defend that one from the outside.

Max might’ve been able to keep a bit more lock on the wheel but it looked like Charles was going to run out of room on the outside from the beginning.

I dont agree with Vet’s penalty in Canada too.

I know Ves was committed to that line due to his late braking. But thats his problem, Lec can’t be expected to yield coz Ves braked too late when they are side by side through the whole corner.

If you start doing that then everyone can just corner bomb and say that they werent able to stop in time, right?

I dont get how Lec would never be able to defend on the outside either. That corner has 2 lines, the outside which is much less steeply banked which allows for a better exit and the inside which is shorter but the whole chassis is twisted coz of the rapid change in camber meaning your exit is probably gonna be compromised. The way I see it, Lec was attempting what he did the previous lap, get a better exit and then defend on the next downhill section coz if Ves gets ahead in the technical middle section, there is no chance Lec can catch him.

You put a lot more thought into this that I have.

This looks pretty much like any other late-brake inside overtake to me, outside car tried to turn in earlier but there was simply no more room left to give. They bumped wheels and that’s that. I think we’ve all seen this happen many times before.

If the FIA want to penalize this going forward, fine, but I really don’t see a penalty here.

That said, so was Vettel's in Canada.  F1 is doing its very best to become the NFL on wheels.

exactly.... if he gets a penalty ill think its the wrong call

but it will be consistant
