Leclerc let him past to catch Alonso. He just gave the position back.
Merc not finishing was the reason Max won his first race at Spain.
Only was able to catch the last half.
Damn what a race.
and What. The. Fuck is the god of lucks problem with Bottas. I mean seriously this is insane.

A double mechanical DNF is a novelty for Brackley-Mercedes. There's gonna be a lot of problem searching back at the factory.
Good comeback from Grosjean he needed that. I am a Ricciardo fan but well done to Max, good win today continuing the good form. Dan needs to step it up before the break.
I mean Ferrari's pace was not great so I don't see how he wrong.
These Pirelli tyres may as well have been the full wets... :P
Has it been confirmed to be engine-related for both cars? Bottas had smoke coming out so probably yes for him, but Hamilton's issue seemed more like gearbox or electrical.
You've lost me...
Yep, just heard on Sky: hydraulics for Bottas; fuel pressure leak for Hamilton.
Last time both Mercedes cars had a DNF because of mechanical issues
On a serious note, I would like it if these tyres were a bit softer.
It wasn't great but they had comparative pace until the latter stages where it was obvious the Ferraris were quicker and if the race had been a few laps longer they'd of passed max. Far too arrogant considering the fortunate position they found themselves in.
Absolutely. Can only hope they drop some of those harder compounds for next season. Believe Carey/Liberty are wanting Pirelli to "simplify" the compounds and the names for the different compounds. We don't need all these silly tyres that no team wants to run.
Yeah, why do we need 9 different tyres. Soft, Hard, Intermediate and Wet would be enough.
Should've made sure the engine had no gremlins in it lol also get a new strategist.
Ferrari was quicker because they had to be quicker. Max didn't have to push and was just preserving his tyres. If Ferrari had any proper pace they would've stayed with and caught Max. Arguing that a few more laps would've done it doesn't mean much when drivers and teams adjust their driving style and strategy with the amount of laps remaining in mind. Ferrari was essentially no threat at the end no matter how much Sky wanted to hype it up. If I were RBR I'd be pretty satisfied with the race pace of their cars compared to the Ferraris.
Yeah Max was controlling it, few laps more wouldn't have changed anything. RBR haven't been that competitive since their championship winning years. Hope they can keep it up. They are still clearly third but they are also pretty close.
Edit: Magnussen having a silently great year. And lol at Grosjean short-cutting his way in driver standings, 4th place after no points in 8 races.

Why is Mercedes even using the soft tyres? It should be clear by now, that their car is working way better on the super- and ultrasoft. Hamilton did 25 laps and his supersofts were still fine then, but he came in got softs which had blistering after like 18 laps already.
They will have to rethink about their strategy calls and looks like there are deeper issues within team.
Mercedes can have a great fast car, but you still have to enter pits, go at the limiter, pit, change tyres, go back out on the limiter and rejoin.
Tyre strategy weighs up the cost of pitting in the total race time, and if you stop more, then you add that penalty. The most effective strategy on paper was the one stop, that Verstappen managed to do and the rest didnt for various reasons.
That scrub Vandoorne broke Gasly's floor when he rammed him on the first lap.
How much longer will McLaren stick with this joke? Dead slow, smashes four wings and rams another car. Awful driver.
It's Lando time.
Hartley's retirement was not engine related.

Now that Grosjean has finished 4th, he will be wild in Silverstone and might end up in a wall or perhaps, in a Mercedes back. I can see it happening for miles. Brakes issues maybe?
Sad for Gasly's floor issue. Vandoorne is indeed very slow. I don't know, he seems tasteless, gives me a lukewarm feeling.

This. Vandoorne was insane in Formula 2, it's just that Alonso is the best driver of the decade after Schumacher, that's all. Constantly driving his car beyond what other drivers would be capable of, nearly winning titles with largely inferior cars (2010 and 2012), winning races in seasons where the car was horrible, and dominating anywhere he goes: on his first evel oval and Indy race fastest lap average, wins Le Mans on first try with a blistering night pace, and so on. It's impossible to judge Vandoorne, because Alonso is insanely fast and consistent. It's no shame being beaten by him imho.
Kimi is 3rd in the championship
I'm happy
I wonder if he refused to obey team orders or there wasn't any.. Which will be surprising
