    Agree'd on Vettel. How much longer before they just end this association. The Italian press must be wonderful about him right now lol

    Vettel blames team

    Things are getting spicy over the airwaves for Ferrari. Sebastian Vettel appears to be telling his pit crew that they got it wrong tactically.

    "I'll hang in there but you know that you messed up," he says.

    This is going to be some soap opera at Ferrari for the rest of this season.

    Bottas was on older tires than LH and LH was using DRS. Bottas was not in a position to fight LH and Bottas was on the podium. Tires ruined the race for LH and Bottas not a lack of fighting Charles. 2 laps from the end you bring the car home and maximise your points if you cannot fight for the win.

    Per Autosport =
    The Red Bull driver soon retook that accolade and raced clear on a rather short second stint, with Verstappen and Bottas coming in together on lap 32 - Verstappen to go back to hards and Bottas to take another set of the white-walled rubber.
    Mercedes left Hamilton out for another nine laps, with Red Bull briefly concerned he would try to go to the end despite the blisters down the middle of both of the world champion's rear tyres.

    Needless. Pay whatever is needed and be rid of him, his attitude and lack of performance overall the last 2+ years. This is quickly solved. Hire Nico H to take his place lol.

    Max and Red Bull's strategy were faultless today.

    It’s not great to watch Seb’s suffering.
    He should take a leaf out of a greater teuton’s book (Lauda) and just leave.
    Schwartzman and Ilott are busy fighting for a championship.
    Hulk ?

    We´re 3rd in the Constructors Championship, that´s the target. But we need to have both drivers scoring. Vettel has to realize that with this car nobody is asking him to make anything heroic, just to stay clean.

    Loved when Max told his team he is going for it with the Mercs in front of him.

    The one not scoring should be shown a nice exit and soon. Charles is growing, doing it right and moving the team forward as much as he can :)

    Three teams are really looking at taking that spot. Really thought Renault was going to pull closer in after todays race.

    If we have similar tires and track temps in Spain, I sense a Max win already! :)

    I’m certain there will be heat, but we don’t know what compound they’ll bring. It wasn’t just the heat today, they also had different tires from last week.

    Hamilton on the radio: "The tire won't blow up will it"?
    Sums it up nicely

    If you run a lot of camber and low pressures, you may run into troubles. The tires on the Red Bull on the other hand were pristine! ;)

    At Spain the tyres will be the same than last week. Toto already has hinted that, as the track is different, Pirelli shouldn´t rise the pressures "unless they want to change the result".

    I´ve notice that Toto looks a bit "hostile" lately.

    Toto is now the mediator with all the Clone Point protests on behalf of his Highness Billionaire Stroll. He had a lot to say about that on SKY. Warning that Stroll would bring all resources to the front to fight against this. Toto says more information will come out in a couple days etc. He knows Mercedes will be looked at potentially. Plus the team was asleep as Bottas put it today in the press LOL. Poor Toto.

    Did you see how Dodo accosted Tombazis after the race? Really looked like the behaviour of a boss getting angry at an underling for not following orders. Probably told him “I told you the tire pressures were to high!” He even had HAM disparage the Pirellis during his interview.

    I think Merc need to explain how they knew that the brake ducts they provided to tRP (as spares, say tRP) would perfectly fit the car if they didn’t know the the car was using the old Merc design.
