Sponsored by Kvyat that triggered an early pit stop to everyone

Or sponsored by Kvyat's tires. It did not look like a driver error.

How many faces beamed with joy as soon as he had that puncture?

Call it luck or whatever....with all negative forces...he still wins with a puncture lool.

Some are just born to win.


.........Congrats to Lando too.

Hamilton is even lucky when he gets a puncture, unbelievable

 

[BrainsBush]

Next weekend with softer tires, wow what will that do?

An extra planned pit stop

 

[Appie Kuipers]

Hamilton simply cannot run out of luck.

So a flat tire is luck?

Driver of today:
Pirelli. Made the race a classic.

Well, no. But in the context of the situation, it was surely just a little bit lucky to get a race win with a puncture when everyone else got so severely punished. A quote I saw on Reddit which seems to sum it up was "Lewis got the best of the bad luck".

 

[Kurvz]

Thank god for exploding tyres for a miracle ending, and WTF Romain Grosjean not fit for the F1 grid .

 

[Kimirai]

Unbelievable end to the race xD .. are Racing Point already over?

 

[farjam]

The Tyre that is finally really gone

 

[farjam]

So i was sleeping (missed almost all of the race), then i have turned on the TV and Bottas just got a puncture, went to drink water and when i came back Lewis got a puncture
Normally when i turn TV on while there is a football match going on, the team that i don't like will score :|

*Just realized that i missed IMSA race too lol but BTCC race start will be in 14 mins

Just as I said before qualy, Hulkenberg didn't even make it to the race!!! And Verstappen again lucky to get a 2nd place. Mercedes unnecessarily compromising and giving away points to RedBull when they are no match. Last race they pit Bottas and give Max a place now they leave both on track risking the win and again giving away the 2nd place. Mercedes been beaten by RedBull in the strategy department.

 

[ATSSHD]

Leclerc!


Those last laps we're insane lol.

Poor Kvyat tough.. at least he is ok.

 

[CC]

Yes very entertaining indeed!
last laps was insane I am still confused to why RedBul pitted they could have stole the show,
but never witnessed a ending like this...

 

[Terry Rock]

Danny Ric for me.
Kept a 'slow-ish' Renault out of trouble and made passes when he could to maximize the points.

Bottas even complained that he had vibrations and they did nothing, shame.

I voted Ricciardo, because seriously, his race was incredible and he finished 4th in the end, with some great battles. I would've voted for Ocon or Gasly for their progression and great overtakes, or maybe Leclerc because he made it to podium with that awful car, and that takes ungodly skills. I'll admit that as a French/Italian, this race made my day

 

[Deleted member 205301]

verstappen did very well, Leclerc did very well too, Sainz did well, Gasly (cocorico !) did very-very well too, Ricciardo too ....and you know what , even giovinazzi did a great race (at one moment)
...was thinking...only Stroll, grosjean, raikkonen and Albon were bad (Vettel maybe ? but his week end was so "strange", I just dont want to blame him)
I voted Sainz, randomly I probably should have voted gasly

You really can't blame RBR too much.
The pitstop was there for the taking over Charles... with the possibility of getting the fastest lap.
That is...until the tires started to let go.
Max probably thought 'there is no way in hell I'm going to get remotely close to those Mercs. I might as well put some fresh rubber on an add an extra point to third place.'
Hindsight is 20/20.
I can't really fault them for the decision.
Could Nico have any worst luck?
I'd hate to be anywhere near this guy in a lightening storm.
He has got to be one of...if not the most unlucky driver ever to sit in an F1 cockpit.
