shit match , shit race.
F1 2017 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
so thats Lewis been told to stay in 4th
Vettel to make a race of the end?
Got to be the worst race since this race three years ago, nothing of interest going on. Even Putin's arrival was more exciting in 2014. Might have to find Vettel's on-board and count how many times he goes off track at turn 3.
Biiiiiig lock up for Bottas
Bottas shitting the bed would make things more interesting. Wonder if he's got a flatspot.
Definitely after a lockup like that
Thought it looked alright on the first replay but yeah he's struggling now.
Come on Seb
I thought they weren't allowed to tell them stuff like that about how to drive?
Not gonna happen now.
This has been a very boring race
Vettel is going to nick this from Bottas, shame if he does.
Massa fecked him
Well, well done Valtteri. Drove like a true champion, Deserved win.
The top cars even struggle to get close to the backmarkers... Going to have to get used to races with zero overtakes.
decent end to a very boring race, glad that Bottas got his first win , he deserved it after that cracking start.
Lewis not in it all weekend.
But all in all a piss poor race.

Massa cost Vettel, knew what he was doing
feck off Massa.
I only switched over after the football but there wasn't a single overtake that I saw other than passing backmarkers.
Fantastic win from Bottas. Not many thought Ferraris could be beat today
If ever a race showed us why F1 needs a change, it's this one. Not even just the lack of overtaking this just isn't fun to watch.

Seb really seems happy for Bottas, nice to see
Surprised Putin doesn't speak any English
That looked so awkward with Putin.

As much as I can't stand Hamilton I think the only positive about him winning in a race is that we don't hear him crying on the radio every 1/2 lap
Mercedes very fortunate, Ferrari should have pitted Seb Vettel a couple laps before to give him more time to catch and over take Bottas which I reckon he would have done. Shithouse move by Massa at the end there as well, knew exactly what he was doing planting himself between the front two.
All that said, I don't begrudge Bottas his maiden win, he is a likable guy and is actually quickly becoming Mercedes front runner this season. It's funny to see Hamilton struggle some what after years of having everything go for him.

why ? just becasue he struggled at this race.He's out qualified him on a couple of occasions now, he's had better performance since in races as well so far.
How do you work that out ? Lewis 1 win 2 seconds and a 4th, Bottas 2 3rds and todays win.
Lewis 2 poles a second and todays 4th , Bottas 3 x 3rd and one Pole.
Just how is that better performance than Lewis
I thought it was more in favour of Bottas, moment of madness.
I know a lot dont like and I can see why , but you cant take away the fact he is a fantastic driver.
Today was just not his race, but they happen.
Aactually, he has been studying to learn English but I suspect it is not fluent enough to conduct a conversation.
Nice one for Bottas, his radio after the flag was great. Pretty average race besides that.
Ferrari is terrified?
They happen to him quite often. He's very quick when the car is very good but that's about it and to me that doesn't make a fantastic driver.
3 WCs up there with the best in race wins most poles , says other wise.
You just don't like him.
Lewis is second in the list of all time race winners with only Sch in from of him.
3rd in the list of all time Pole sitters and only 5 behind Sch and he will beat that this season or next.
How that does not make him a fantastic driver God only knows .
