2018 Formula One US Grand Prix

@farjam you were right. It was the same turn 1 in which both Vettel and Sainz went wide. Only Sainz got a five second penalty....

So indeed why did Sainz get a penalty and Vettel nothing? And why did Vettel blame Ricciardo for the spin? really?

 

[farjam]

So now lewis can be WC with a 7th place at mexico?

__________
@BrainsBush well at least he did a good recovery after that 5 sec and gave renault a good result...

Chocking worst race in ages!!

 

[Stan Marlow]

A season to forget for Seb. Another mistake he could easily do without. Plenty of chances to pass on the back straight. Finally Ferrari produced a car that could somewhat challenge Mercedes and Seb drives like a rookie.

Oh well looks like my man Lewis will have to be crowned champion in Mexico again. I wanted to see him do it at the US GP. Great driving from Raikkonen and Verstappen today. Poor Vettel he's just terrible at wheel to wheel racing.

Better they bring Vettel to Sauber and hold kimi in the team no this season was the season for Vettel but he is not good enough last 7 races....

Race-department is a wonderful place full of wonderful god-fearing people.

[Nick Hill]

Kimi!

 

[muzikant]

Based on this race too but more on all previous, this is my list of best drivers in today's F1 (basically this list predict how would they be placed on the end of the season if they all have same car, tires, crew and all the rest):
1) Lewis
2) Vettel
Lewis and Max from another level! 1 and 2 by far!!!!
3) Alonso
4) Max
5) Ricciardo
6) Kimi
7) Leclerc

8~) Ocon, Hulk, Grosjean, Gasly...
..........
15~) Vandoorne, Stroll, Ericsson, Hartley, Sirotkin.

20) Bottas. [/QUOTE

I always loved your posts mr muzikant.
You're simply the best when saying nothing at all.

 

[muzikant]

I try to help you

 

[gamer19]

Erm, ok, since you're already here... what are you trying to say anyway ?
You like my "list of today's best F1 drivers" or what ?

 

[muzikant]

Surprise Max is in your list. You enjoy him today?

So glad Kimi finally won another race, although somewhat bittersweet as it will probably be his last win in F1. That fight between Max and Lewis was great; props to Max for an excellent defense.

Vettel and Bottas...sigh...Seb keeps insisting on taking a normal line tracking to the outside line, when he knows full well someone is head to head alongside him. This is what...the 3rd time he’s done this? Not to mention he keeps forgetting this isn't a 2 lap race. Aww well...don't see him winning the last 3 races with mistakes like this, so WDC #5 for Lewis. ( #BLE5T? )

Valterri you had one job.

Lastly, why does Ricciardo's car keep breaking down on him? Thought he had a good shot at a possible podium, was rooting for him...Is it simply bad luck or...something else?

I believe Ricciardo is still on the older power unit with Verstappen having priority now. Or, I could go the conspiracy route and say Red Bull is tanking him because F him for leaving.

 

[BP]

Also, If I'm calculating this right, even if Vettel tried to win all 3 remaining races...Hamilton just needs 6 points total over the next 3 races to secure the WDC? So basically a 7th place next race and Lewis is WDC?

2) Vettel

There was a calculation showing that Vettel has lost 125 points due to own mistakes in 2017 and 2018. Bearing in mind that, do you still think he would finish P2 in a championship with the same car as everyone else? Something is wrong here, either your list, or all other drivers in F1 are hopeless.

 

[Dave Stephenson]

Bottas is not the one, Ocon should have that seat....

pretty sure he will in 2020. Bottas basically has to win next years champ to hold it imo.

New genaration is coming. Bottas is definitely not
Maybe Lewis want him (Bottas) as a servant? depends on when Lewis retired in 2020..??
But what a race today.
