Man, we haven't won the title since 2007. Do you understand that we just fecking want to win the title after 10 fecking years?
Long way to go. Obviously Lewis is English so I hope he does it.
However, it's too close to call. Some of tracks will favour Ferrari and some Mercedes and anything can happen in a race, no matter how well prepared you are.

It's exciting.

Ferrari very lucky red bull took engine penalties here because red bull 2nd fastest car.
Fastest actually in terms of top speed. ricciardo set the fastest lap too

Btw, Red Bull looking scary atm. Might be the spanner in the works that decides the title

Hamilton:"Mercedes power is better than Ferrari power..."
Hamilton: "“You know what – I love it here in Italy, I love the passion of the fans especially the Ferrari fans. The energy – you never get to see it apart from Silverstone so I love it."

That's the reason why i do hate him as person. He a plastic, sneaky cnut.

Saw the starting grid today and started laughing.....should of just given the trophy to Lewis before it started.....Ferrari fecked themselves this weekend....Vettel a second slower per lap....unexcusable.

We don't have the car to fight on a track like Monza. We are better in slow tracks like Monaco, Hungary and Singapore. It isn't a case we have won the first 2 and Singapore is the next.

Last 7 races :

Malaysia - Mercedes (it's a bit like Spa though)
Japan - 50/50
USA - Ferrari
Mexico - Mercedes
Brasil - Ferrari just edge it
Adu Dhabi - Ferrari

So it's gonna be so close!

No chance. I want Ricciardo after Vettel.
Is the vettel deal for 3 years? Perfect timing for Charles Leclerc to take over, the guys hugely talented and i reckon will be a future world champion, he'll end up at haas or somewhere for a couple of years from 2018 then step up to ferrari at some point

I hope Hamlilton joins Ferrari soon just to see the cart wheels present day Ferrari fans are going to be doing!!

What a move on Kimi by Riccciardo.. Would have been an interesting race with the Red Bulls not given grid penalties.. Hope they can put a wrench in the whole championship race and make it interesting..

MCLAREN AND HONDA FORMALLY AGREE TO PART WAYS

https://www.f1today.net/en/news/f1/231253/mclaren-and-honda-formally-agree-to-part-ways



The more interesting part is Bernie's comment on the whole thing:

ECCLESTONE: "MCLAREN WON'T BE ANY HAPPIER WITH RENAULT"

Ecclestone said this on the matter of the very probable move: "The Renault deal is all done. Alonso staying is super news, but I can't see why McLaren will be any happier with Renault than they are with Honda. It wasn't Honda's fault things didn't work out, it was McLaren's. Every day they had a fight about everything, instead of working with them, which was a little bit stupid."

Now I just want to see Red Bull Honda competitive in 2019. RBR have the best car and the best drivers on the grid. I have faith in Honda making that step next season when they will work with less pressure in STR without incompetent people like Boullier around them undermining everything they do.

Red Bull whined about Renault even when they were winning the odd race, I dread to think what they'd have been like with a Honda that bore more resemblance to light explosives than a racing engine.

Glad that particular horror show is over at last, Renault won't exactly be a return to the glory days but McLaren will hopefully at least pull out of the death spiral they're currently in.
