Hamilton should’ve got it

He did well, but overall Albon has had to do more work.

Yeah, and he didn't have to pass anyone on track for the win. It doesn't seem right to say he's been the best driver on the day.

Its driver of the day though, not race weekend.

Fuck off Bob. We're all Hamilton fans, and we've all acknowledged that he had a very good race, we just disagree that he was the best driver on the day. Don't start accusing people of racism just because we disagree on a minor point.

Sorry if that wasn’t clear - he regularly doesn’t get driver of the day - clearly it’s not voted for by badgers so I’m not sure why you’d think I meant you.

Do I think it’s the reason he doesn’t get more votes yes i do - you’re of course welcome to disagree.

I will of course fuck off.

I certainly do think there is an element of racism against Hamilton, though I think he is unpopular for other reasons as well.

He's had a few absolutely storming drives coming through the pack to win and driver of the day has gone to someone else. I think today was fair enough though.

Fair enough, I obviously got the wrong end of the stick so I'll apologise. I agree vettel wasn't the best driver of the day, but I don't think ham was either.

Im a big fan of Hamilton, i dont believe the reason he doesnt get enough praise has anything to do with his skin colour personally. He just makes super hard stuff look so ordinary that you forget its super hard for anyone else and hence lack of praise. Example in Monza he was under a second behind leclrec lap after lap. Bottas with fresher tyres couldnt get closer than 3 seconds to leclerc and admitted that it was impossible to drive any closer without the car losing performance and handling.

Agree with Bobs point that hamo/seb/alonso dont do well with team orders thats why they are champions. Leclerc is drawing a line in the sand and effectively saying im not a bottas, im a rosberg to vettels hamilton. If that makes sense. Bottas is a no2 driver where as rosberg never was. Leclerc is ensuring he wont be a no2 and making sure ferrari and vettel know that. It will be interesting if and when vettel leaves and is replaced with mick schmacher (possibly 2021). Schumacher junior and leclerc could be fireworks. No way michaels son joins f1 to be a no2 driver.

RedBull could do with a string number 2 for verstappen. Albon could be that guy.

So one thing that was kept very quiet in the McLaren and Mercedes engine deal was that lando norris is now managed by Mercedes.

Aye they're saying qually might happen on race day.

I was trying to remember if one has ever been cancelled and i cant recall one. I know malaysia and australia where both red flagged and stopped back in the day after 15 laps or so and half points given. I cant recall a race never starting though.

Will say if your gonna record this gp on your sky box then make sure you have plenty of space available as it could be one of those 6hr plus jobs where they make up crao until the circuit is acceptable for a wet start. Ps. I hate saftey car gp starts.

Good point Dino. I remember Canada 2011, set to record the race as I was out, came back about 8pm ish flicked the TV on to catch the recording and the race had not even started. Well it had but had to be red flagged due to the torrential rain. That was when Button came from the back of the pack to beat Vettel on the last lap.What a race...

Yeah. I tried to post earlier but obvs didn't work. Think it's 4 hours max from the start time, race is over regardless at that time.

Monaco only needs 2 laps for the race really. They should change it so that they do a qualifying single hot lap shootout ten times over, with each run scoring 1/10th of the normal points!

Qualy moved to Sunday.
