So Grosjean is still alive. I assume someone else will replace him for this race - probably Hulk? I'm too lazy to google at the moment.
The course is different so that is exciting! Two more to go.
Go Lando!
Will a Tracing Point car go poof again?
Something about Ferrari!
Discuss!

It's got to be less adventerous than the race we just had!!!
Ferrari has problems that are deeper than the engine!!!

Bottas completely blows the start, Max is second best but opens up enough of a gap to switch to softs for a run at fastest lap (duh), and Hamilton (again) cruises to one of the easiest wins of his career. On the podium he begins his victory speech "Oh, gosh yes, such a struggle all day... but still I rise."

Maybe Mick will get an early start in the Haas? Though I suspect Romain will be up for the race. They said second degree burns on the backs of the hands. That's probably not too bad for driving (versus the palms). I had second degree burns on my hands but that was a long time ago and I can't recall how long before they were tolerable.

Flexibility in moving all those dials and buttons and levers would be the problem, getting out of another burning car would be pure muscle memory and he would do that with no problem, god forbid it ever happens again, lotions etc can help during the day but inside the gloves during the race could be tough. |

It will be a very interesting experiment this week. How dominant that car really is and how much of a doormat Bottas really is.

Weekend could be interesting with whomever MB puts in Hamilton's seat.

I bet Hulk is just ACHING to put his butt in that Merc I'd damn sure put him in it to gauge Bottas if nothing else. |

Well at least we now know it won't be a HAM BOT fest.

This event will be NEW to everybody. No team has run this track configuration before and they don't have and real set up data.

they'll pick someone like vandoorne or whoever. If they picked some who could drive the damn thing like perez or maybe the hulk they'd prolly win the race and show that anyone with half a feel for driving a 2020 F1 car could win with it. Thus proving that bottax is a useless tail gunner. and showing that lulu isn't, never was and never will be the GOAT no matter how race records he has.

That might help them in negotiations with Lulu, though. If the replacement wins then that will kneecap Hamilton's salary negotiations. |
