    Yes I’m aware there was a brake issue coincidentally exactly on the line and not after Sainz got past…

    If Sainz becomes Ferrari’s top driver this year and challenges for the championship (unlikely with Max’s dominance), it’d be ironic. He’s matured at Ferrari, while Leclerc’s still making old mistakes, lacking progress.

    What a pallet cleanser of a race! If you told me the only DNFs would be Merc and Max and no one hit each other I’d be surprised as hell.

      It’s Ferrari fucking up strats even outside of a race. Getting Hamilton at 40 years old is baffling

        Well Hamilton is an all time great. Ferrari are completely justified in employing him. As Alonso is proving, age is no factor as long as you maintain fitness.

          I don’t buy that, Hamilton was great, not anymore. Alonso is very competent, sure, but both definitely not suitable for a long-term project.

          I would understand if Hamilton would be a seat filler until a star rookie woud be taking over, but kicking Sainz who is delivering very good performances is a bad idea.

            Hamilton is not supposed to be a long term option. He is possible fairytale story if he wins the championship in the 3-4 years he is at Ferrari.

            Because sainz is as good as he is, Ferrari don’t need him when they build a championship winning car because him and leclerc would have made the same sort of pairing as rosberg and Hamilton leading to intense rivalry within the team.

    Is there no spoiler policy here or does Voyager just not have that feature? Either way, saves me 90 minutes of my life but others might still be invested in the sport.
