Gotta say, watching Stroll get swallowed up on the restart gave me the warm and fuzzies. Daddy may buy you a seat in an F1 cockpit you don’t deserve, but he can’t buy you talent.

Nope. All it can buy you is the seat and last year's Merc to surround it.

So basically, all F1 needs, to have entertaining races, is for the greatest driver of his generation (and maybe ever) to make a mistake the likes of which he never does and get shuffled to the back halfway through the race.
After last week at Spa I almost decided to spend my Sunday morning doing other stuff. Glad I tuned in for this one today.
Now if Lando can just get past that fraud in the Pink Merc...

The back of the grid is getting their payback on Hamilton right now.

Bottas is a mystery to me. I really like him, and at times seems like a world class driver. But, the difference between what he can get out of the car and what Lewis gets out of the car is insane. Does anyone think Valtteri would come back up through the grid like Lewis is doing if the roles were reversed?

Yeah, I laughed when they said they said that 6 was possible for Hamilton, but he made it all the way to 7th. There's a reason that Lewis is the highest paid athlete in the world. It's like watching Babe Ruth in the 20s or Michael Jordan in the 90s.
Would liked to have seen Lando make a run at billionaire boy. I'm not sure if it's team orders, but Lando seems to be driving a lot more conservatively now than he did earlier in the season as though he was more worried about Bottas behind him than billionaire boy ahead of him.

Lewis is a real class act too. Taking time to go around and congratulate the young guys on their first podiums after what--by his standards--was a disastrous day.

Agreed. Though I find him whiny at times on track, he’s a class act and it’s not often you get to watch Greatness as it happens. He’s the best racing driver I’ve seen in my life, and it’s not even close, imho. Just wish he had some real competition, because he’s so good he makes the sport boring.
Nice to see him and all the other drivers congratulating the young guys. Had to be hard for Lewis, on a day he would have easily won and set records. Says a lot about him as a person.

At the end of the day, it was a phenomenal race. The only thing that would have made it better would have been the legions of sad Ferrari fans in the stands.

La Marseillais followed by the Italian national anthem is a combination that isn’t heard enough. Two of my favorite foreign anthems!

Billionaire Boy got a free 24 seconds from the free pit stop.

Add the 24 seconds he was gifted from his free pit stop and he finishes outside the points, exactly where his nepotistic ass belongs.
After the race he said at the restart it was his race to lose. Well, he certainly did.

Vettel is joining Nepotism racing. Man, that is going to be a factory of douche next year.

Yeah, I’m not sure they’re actually trading up by replacing Perez with Seb. But I have to admit, I’m interested to see what Seb can do driving the year-old Merc.
