2018 Formula One French Grand Prix

[Patrick van der Meulen]

Both Hamilton, Verstappen and Raikkonen drove a solid race. My 2 cents about Raikkonen... I think he’s not that happy with Ferrari. Today he could show us what he’s capable if he got the best strategy at Ferrari.

And Vettel... I don’t even start about it...

Paul Ricard is a great circuit. Good race.

 

[LeSunTzu]

That was a good GP. This is one of the few tracks where passing without DRS is possible.

Hamilton...damn, that guy knows how to drive a F1 car...

But can only win when he has the best car on the grid.
(to be fair that is the way it is with all the drivers...look at Alonso.)
In Canada the excuse was that Lewis's Merc wasn't on song, he can't win, come French GP Merc get engine upgrades and Lewis gets pole and wins....because car.

Would be ace if Motorsport was about the driver, but it isn't...
If anyone watches BTCC just look at the Subarus with more boost than the rest today...

And Vettel... I don’t even start about it...

I have posted some info about how amazing he was :

Quick reminder for those complaining about the 5 sec penalty. Bottas did not get any penalty for crashing into Kimi twice last year. Same kind of incidents in the first couple of corners.

Shame about the incident though, could´ve been a great race in the front.

Hamilton...damn, that guy knows how to drive a F1 car...

Sure he can, don't forget Max, just at 7/8 sec, this in a less fast car.

Worthy comment if he had crashed 7 races in a row. Hypocrisy at its finest, what a...character.

He made a Joke, humor you know?

Hypocrisy? You really need to work on you sense of humor... come on man... stop the Max hating... even in a weekend where Max did nothing wrong and drove a very good race, you find a way to talk negative about him. Get a life please!

To explain in more detail if you don’t get the joke. Vettel made a similar comment to him earlier.

[IMrIMike]

Yeah, what a joke. I guess his whole discussion with Lewis before the podium was all a joke as well, where he described the incident as "inacceptable". DIasgree all you want but it´s pretty apparent he took his first chance to point the finger at someone else.

Hypocrisy? You really need to work on you sense of humor [...] Get a life

And you on your vocabulary. Not gonna bother arguing with you anyway.

 

[Patrick van der Meulen]

Geez, right after the race he already defended Vettel. Accidents happens. It was just a tongue-in-cheek answer directed to the journo’s who like to burn down drivers for their mistakes.

 

[VonRouwen]

stop the Max hating

Exactly this.

 

[IMrIMike]

Criticism =/= Hate. Easy to stamp anything you disagree with as "hate" without even contributing to the discussion. Suspicous amount of dutch names too, oh well.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Leclerc is developing into an ace driver. Fantastic driving in that Sauber.

 

[BrainsBush]

Max' response was a direct hit to the media (and not to Vettel). Watch the other video I think it was from Sky where he explained it a bit better afterwards. It's also a way of (Dutch) humor/sarcasm.

Max has the right to fight back to the media a bit. Is that smart to do? Well he's only human

And with regards to the 5 seconds penalty. FIA stewards not consequent (what's new). Some got 10 secs and other(s) nothing. All this season.

 

[Appie Kuipers]

There is a bit to much focus on Max, why? Because he is a great driver and much in the picture! Made mistakes, true, but making a joke, he is just 20j, must be tollerated!

 

[pcraenme]

Vettel was voted the driver of the day on formula1.com? Come on, he had a descent comeback after his mistake at this start, but his car is much faster than the ones he had to overtake. I would have gone for Charles (great performance in the Sauber again), or Max being much faster in the race than Daniel and keeping the gap to Lewis, in the faster car, small.
