Max 233 and Chas 170 points with Checo just 7 away from Chas!

Too bad . Charlie's WDC is over now ...

Very smart race from MAX ..His mission was : Just take it home !

The 1 did it again !!!

27 wins

Max is something else. To see someone so young perform so high with ridiculous consistency these days, in the most highest pressure sport on the planet, it's f'ing amazing to see.

I wish Lando had a better car though. Sigh…..

The Wolf looks happy !

Unfortunately this is the correct course of strategy for Carlos, he would not have made it to the end on those mediums. At least he’ll get to P5 and get a point for FL

At the end of the day, P19 to P5 is a great result

Ferrari watch out as Merc worms are creeping up to Ferrari in the constructors,,44 points away.

Probably chokes on his ham sandwich

Should have been an easy one, two for RB, fortunately for Max he was gifted the win by Leclercs 'mistake'

Throttle peddle again? REALLY?

The Ferraris looked bullet fast .Too bad.. But they just messed it up (again) !

IMHO. Ferrari lost everything today ! I'm sorry my friend ..

Yes sorry KbD but Chas didn't have any Sainz support.

So I wonder what the real reason was for LEC crash.
In the pit he said that it was a personal mistake (and not the throttle pedal). A political answer?

Definitely political.. heard about the throttle when they were in the cool down room. The Red Bull engineer said they heard it on the radio.

IMHO .Checo was sleep-walking ! I'm pretty sure Horner Isn't happy with that ...

RUS didn't got a penalty ...FIA ??? Just WOW !

MIA my friend.

MIA my friend.

MIA = Missing in Action ?

Can be a RB strategy mistake as well ...

They can see it also behind the pitwall when the yellow is gone and scream over Checo's onboard radio :
GO !

But yeah , as I said Checo was sleep-walking today..

IMHO. Checo didn't looked motivated today !
Can be the heat . But it was was everyone too hot today..

When RUS hit Checo FIA should have penalised RUS, 'no investigation necessary'
and who's the general secretary now

OC . My friend . RUS jumped on the inside over the curbs into Checo's side and pushed him off-track ..

Charlie's bad moment . Just listen to this ! WOW...

at this point ferrari pole positions mean nothing. always throwing them away due to driver error, poor strategy, or mechanical failure.

LEC and his car definitely 'capable' of beating max but they just can't everything clicking on the same frequency

Consistency is what they lack. They've shown they can compete as a top team. Much faster around corners than the RB cars. Such a shame, but a fun season so far.

Back to back races with contact between Checo and Russell, both times Russell in the fault. I’m starting to think he got told when they gave him the Mercedes seat that he needed to hit some RBs on the track lol

Charlie : It was my mistake and that's it ...

Ferrari had to call him in much earlier for new tires .
IMHO. It was a Ferrari strategy disaster as usual !
Charlie's tire blistering was terrible , because he was chased by MAX !

And what RUS did with 'Zhou at Silverstone ?

That was far from clean ...
