Yeah, it's been embarrassing this race. The gap to Verstappen is embarrassing, even knowing how good Verstappen is.

Bottas is catching Max, cant see him holding him off, faster and with newer rubber.
Going to get interesting here. Max won’t let it go too easily surely.
Nice from Max
Verstappen is some racer
Brilliant, only got to do it 4 more times 
Wow..Max in holding off Bottas. That was some next level shit.
Go on max. Slap Bottas out of the way.
Stroll and Norris, cracking racing
Lewis masterclass, was never in any danger.
Decent race, some good battles on the last lap.

Norris is storming it
What a fecking finish.
Lando! Amazing stuff.
Spot on from Mclaren for doing the swap, Lando is looking stronger every race now.
Amazing from Lando
Get in Norris! All in all, Austria has given us some decent racing over these two races.
Great last lap from Norris again, really impressed with this young lad
Great little finish by Norris
That was a cracker last lap.
Goodness me. Norris is a real star in the making.
Such a clever driver and great to watch.
Brilliant from Norris on the last lap. Happy for him.
Norris brilliant.
Max just now in his post race interview about the battle with Bottas - "yeah it was fun, the rest of the race was pretty boring" Haha.

Why don't just use normal podium there?
Drive to Survive has made me appreciate the midfield battles so much more.
Most of the race was OK , some good midfield battles, the last last was excellent.
Norris is a future WC.

Social distancing I would guess at.

Well, they are pretty much in the same bubble and that robot is quite refreshing i think.

Ffs.... already done and dusted.
constructers yes but not championship...
I am loving seeing McLaren up there again though
I don't know, Pscholes18 , does have a point, with the short season and Mercedes closest challengers being McLaren, it is hard to see past Mercedes for both.
With the short season I think that it will come down to who has the most wins.
I think double header at gulf in the end would get go to make it 12 races confirmed and more to come. Short but enough for championship i think. Could see Lewis match 91 wins this season with 85 so far.
Extremely boring season in terms of titles. Already done and dusted. It will be no different than last year. It's sad really.
I'm just enjoying the midfield battles though. Watching Norris, Leclerc, Sainz, Ricc and the racing points fighting is nice. Ideally, the battle for the top spots should be similar.
There should be no titles if the FIA doesn't manage to get more than the 8 races we have now.
