Formula One ( F1 )

Which lap are they anticipated to come in off the mediums? Could be tasty if Hamilton gets involved in the mix with the two Ferrari’s around pit stop time

Honestly if I had to put my money on a winner at this point, I'd be betting Hamilton.

Good to see Merc looking like they're back up with Red Bull & Ferrari. Could be a tasty battle in the second half of the season.

Really looking forward to it. Merc looking super stable now too which is good, but guess it’s more of a Barcelona style track. We’re out to the Austrian gp next week which I’m pumped for as my first time at a track

Vettel passing the world champion in a back of the field car, it's the beginning on his comeback that's for sure! ;)

I’d love to hear what all the Verstappen fans think of his whinging on the radio and talking about retiring given their recent thoughts on Hamiltons similar comments…

Did he mention retiring?

I believe he said ‘what’s the point’ which might even be a verbatim copy of what Lewis was saying.

My point is that all drivers at the front have the same mentality, especially when faced with no prospect of moving forwards.

I was thinking this. Just usual tribal sports fans I'd guess though. Really hoping Hamilton can hold on for this one though.

Just usual tribal sports fans

Absolutely this, not sure if it's the fans attracted by the Eastenders at 200mph Netflix drama, or just newcomers to the sport jumping on the winning driver's bandwagon (it seems to be largely limited to Hamilton/Verstappen fans).

My point is that all drivers at the front have the same mentality, especially when faced with no prospect of moving forwards.

Think this was covered last time (likely back in Spain), but the difference between Hamilton and Verstappen/Alonso/Raikkonen etc. was the attitude (IMO). Frustrated Hamilton seems to come across as a bit more mopey rather than angry (IMO).

This is gonna get juicy.

1. Hamilton
   
2. Sainz
   
3. Leclerc
   

Yesssssss. Proper drag race to the finish and leclerc is a sitting duck

Honestly I think Leclerc might even miss the podium with Perez right behind

Quite the turnaround if Perez gets a podium.

Didn’t see Perez coming. Neither did Hamilton!!

What the hell is going on?!

Christ. This is incredible

That undertake was amazing from Hamilton then immediately drops two places. So exciting.

DOTD Leclerc, no fucking doubt

That move is up there with Schumacher/Alonso at 130R

So awesome. Proper racing.

Such spice

Do we reckon Perez will get a penalty for move on Hamilton?

Hopefully

Verstappen shoving Mick off the track in the last few laps. Classic

Don't recall seeing anything amiss, was just a dive to the inside right? Think he ran him out of road but unfortunately that's the norm these days in F1

Was there anything in it or just a racing incident. Went deep and didn’t leave room but was Hamilton close enough at apex?
