As much as it annoys me to say this but Hamilton has indeed done a better job this season while Vettel has made too many unforced mistakes. In this particular race, I'll also agree that Lewis' skill in putting those fast laps in on worn out tyres is impressive but he'd have a much harder time against Kimi without the fantastic defensive driving from Bottas. I'd question the conversation between Kimi and Santi about how the tyres felt and any change in strategy after Vettel's unexpected Lap 1 disaster. Or if Santi could have told Kimi to watch his tyres and wait for a better opportunity once Bottas was out of the way given that they obviously had the faster car...
Ps, check out my race reports too if you feel like :)
Mercedes out Ferrari’d Ferrari with team tactics! And as for Seb, well unfortunately once again he’s proving just how over rated he is. He doesn’t seem to cope well with high pressure as once again he ‘bottled it’ it my opinion. He should still be thanking red bull for producing a car so much faster than the rest as I truely believe he’d have struggled to win one world championship let alone four had he had another team in the mix for him to fight with like we’ve seen him fight Lewis these last two seasons. I’m not saying he’s not fast because clearly on a flying lap he’s one of the quickest out there, but he’s far from the complete package. As for Lewis, I used to be his biggest fan, but after a couple years in the sport I started to go off him a bit when his attitude seemed to change but his driving....well that’s always been something to adore about him. I think it’s time even the haters (which let’s face it, there’s a lot out there) started ranking Lewis among the top 5 drivers of all time.
Comparing Mercedes' golden era ( Hamilto 's championships) vs RDB's golden era ( Vettel's championships), Lewis had a much better car taking poles at 1 second from the third place and finishing the championship early while Vettel won 3 of...
Wanting people to understand the minutiae of GP racing is asking too much. We know what an amazing job Lewis did here with the help of his team and fantastic viewing it was too. The ebb and flow of car performance gave Vettel his titles but he was and still is not in the league of the greats - Hamilton, Hill and Clark for me.
With Ferrari having a faster car, Hamilton didn’t win, Ferrari lost that race. Vettel is overrated. He is too emotional behind the wheel. The crashes in Singapore last year and Germany this year have shown that. Also the way he ran into Hamilton in Baku last year. He gets too emotional and makes mistakes. Hamilton passed Kimi in the first turn yesterday and they didn’t touch each other, but when Hamilton passes Vettel, Vettel gets so frustrated he runs into Hamilton (if you look at the video Hamilton was in front of Vettel when Vettel hit him, Vettel had the entire outside of the track, but turned into Hamilton and then said after the race that Hamilton left him no space) like the article said, Vettel should have let him have that position and gained it back on the front straight... too emotional, couldn’t wait... he reacts in the moment instead of taking time to evaluate situations and set people up. Lewis had lap after lap to pass KImi, but he waited and waited and set him up to pass him... this is why Hamilton is a better driver. He is not so emotional behind the wheel and he rarely crashes out in races. If Hamilton has a DNF it is usually car failure, where yes Vettel does have car failures, but he also crashes out of races... Hamilton rarely crashes out of races.
I love Ferrari, but in this race they fuck all, start with Vettel and is ambitious idiot decision... mind time Hamilton stills cold. And about Kimi... well is Kimi, for my a good driver but it’s all, i don’t trust him. wake up Vettel and use you skill and your brain, i don’t want Hamilton win, but you need to use strategy.

Read moreI seem to remember Seb only having to do one lap in Q3 quite regularly, knowing his car was that fast he was bound to end up pole anyway
