f1 spoilers may turn up here
had to happen sooner or later i guess... max got the pole.... with all of the netherlands now having their hopes up its gonna be super extra sweet when he gets taken out in turn 1
welp hard to overtake here and it doesnt look like there will be rain...so i really hope this doesnt turn in to a snoozefest
hope russel can drag himself into the points
welp time to find out
(also motogp needs to get a move on...cutting it awefully close with the rain delay...hope they finish before f1 starts)

My prediction? Max gets a good start and controls the race from the front.
A good result for Russell would be excellent, if he can make up some places at the start he may be in the good position to capitalize on DNFs in front of him.
Some comments I’ve read on reddit suggest that the support races were somewhat processional as well, with F3 being a bit more exciting than F2.
There’s a lot of talk around Grosjean and Gasly being replaced (either soon or for the next season) but Bottas has a lot riding on this race as well since apparently the team wanted to see his performance up to the summer break before looking at future contract details.
Then again, who could replace Bottas? Ocon? Russell? I think one isn’t good enough and the other should spend another season at a decent midfield team. Bottas can sometimes push Hamilton but not nearly as often as Rosberg did.
I forgot about MotoGP but I guess it’s best I didn’t wake up early for it based on what you’re saying.

I love that Turn 1-2-3 section, really wide corners so you can take slightly different lines to get better traction out of corners.
People keep saying it’s difficult to overtake here but I recall seeing some solid races here along with ballsy overtaking moves.

The mercs fighting at the start was a god send to Max

I don’t like Max and Lewis.

Dammit Bottas...Merc can’t possible think this is going to be a one stopper at lap 2 here can they?

![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:17 |

They made him do 51 laps on a single tire to hold up the Ferraris last year, I wouldn't put it past them.
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:20 |

Really poor first lap from Bottas. Nearly locks up into Hamilton twice and now has a messed up front wing.
Max is looking really comfortable out front and we have procession-like gaps from P1 to P5.
Gasly in P9 lol. He does get shit on a lot but fer fucks sake you’re supposed to be racing Ferrari and Mercedes not Alfa Romeo.
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:21 |

64 laps on the hard tire seems like....a lot
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:22 |

i know..stupid bottas...he was sposed to take hammie out :p
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:23 |

i dont think they can make that tbh
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:25 |

Someone will take him out before he gets close.
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:29 |

*snores*
somebody do something stupid please
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:31 |

“tell me when you need me to close up...”
I guess HAM is just maintaining the gap right now instead of trying to catch VER. These two are in a league of their own.
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:33 |

Ferraris are so slow....1 sec off the pace at least

I’m anticipating this Bottas/Ricciardo battle.

and now kmag is in there too....lol nice

Maybe dannyric passes kmag and kmag takes out bottas
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:45 |

It’s only a matter of time for Hammy to pass Max.

That moment when you get a free pit stop ahead of Ferrari in a Red Bull

Mercedes has these fake pit stops down.

Been awake for like 42 of the last 48 hours, and this race is not keeping my eyes open at all. Hope it's worth staying up the extra time...
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:53 |

Hamilton needs some fresh tires so that he can chase again... not really sure why they’re trying to keep him out so long.
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:53 |

gotta keep the crew in shape

less than a 3rd of the racedistance too.... the reds are miles off the pace here

heres to hoping
not alot going on so far
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:56 |

You’re better off going to bed, historically speaking it’s not worth it lol.
Unless you’re really invested in either HAM or VER winning I’d go to bed.
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:57 |

pitstop put him miles behind
expecting hammy whine in 3......2......1....
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:58 |

That took forever.
![]() 08/04/2019 at 09:58 |

Exited the pit at 5.5 seconds behind, he’s now under 3
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:00 |

i never said he wasnt fast
but tbh....looks like hammy whine aint happening...just hammertime
welp...makes for a better show anyway
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:01 |

less whine more hammertime
HAM using his #blessed energy and teleports right behind VER.
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:06 |

hammy wants it
dis nice

I had vettel for my fantasy podium, not Charles :(
HAM VER VET was my guess.

This is the same strategy Ricciardio did last year. Put some quick tires on at the end when you have a light car, should be some fun.
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:14 |

Max with the Honda engine : I need more power
Hammy with the Merc engine : UNLIMITED POWERRRRR (with brakes that are cooking themselves)

oh hey....its mr bean
i hate him....

The pitstops here being around 21-22 secs. it’s funny that the leaders nearly have two full pitstops on the Ferraris.

they’re making things fun tho :)

Hammy on medium tires....will red bull blink?

oh shit...oh...mediums...wonder if that means max will go for reds

Verstappen is still on the right tire, this is interesting.

He’s on the old right tires

kimi quitely running in 6th....not seen him at all this race lol
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:23 |

He hasn’t had to yell at anyone
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:24 |
|
And HAM on the new wrong!
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:25 |
|
Red Bull has to keep Max out there now... he’s guaranteed to come out behind Lewis if he pits.
This is where we find out if #blessed is fucking real or not. HAM is fast but he basically needs to put in quali laps until the end simply to catch up, let alone overtake Max.
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:25 |

I heard there's Ferraris in this race too
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:25 |

looks like they are going to try to make it to the end
hammy will catch up by then me thinks
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:25 |

That was a great strategy by Merc. I hate them lol

Sub 16 second gap
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:27 |

This is probably his ideal race. Less interactions with other cars on track = less to talk about = even less to talk about to the media.
Slap an ice cream in there somewhere and that’s Kimi’s ideal Sunday afternoon.

really?

lol sounds about right
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:32 |

HAM’s putting in fastest laps but I think he’s done.
Verstappen’s tires need to hit the cliff for him to have a chance.

i think danny just called kmag a cunt.....lol

Jesus a 1.18.5 by Hammy

i think he’ll catch him
course that doesnt mean pass by any means

i hope he catches up
its more entertaining for me

![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:44 |

They could each take another stop and battle it out for fastest lap lol
![]() 08/04/2019 at 10:45 |

Especially since they pushed Verstappen to pit earlier than Lewis on the first stop. And then made Max fight on those tires.
