A champion's drive from Max, off Perez pace until now.
Ferrari. Lol.
It’s only really interesting because you know someone could bin it into the wall at any moment and that isn’t really why you want a race to be interesting given it could have horrible outcomes.It would have been a good race if Leclerc didn't blow up. Unfortunately for us the field spread is massive. Ferrari & Red Bull are 1 second faster than Mercedes, so if one of them folds like Ferrari did today then it's an easy run to the flag for the other one.
Personally I'm not a particular fan of Baku. The straight is SO long that there is no real skill in overtaking cars here.
Won without shining is what I meant with that. Perez was not faster than him today.Really? I mean, what did he have to do other than keep the car out of the wall?
Perez will never be given the opportunity to challenge Max no matter what Karen says.
The Merc is purposing all over the place.
Just bin this season and this car and focus on next year.
He’s doing brilliantly so far. I wonder if age is a factor in this. Maybe Lewis being 13 years older means his body can’t take the beating as well as Russell can? The way he hobbled out the car at the end looked grim. Either way you have to respect what Russell is doing in a clearly poor car. As he said in interviews, you just have to stay in there and you don’t know what might happen.Is George Russell the driver of the season so far?
Realistically, can anyone have got any more out of the package he has at his disposal? Sitting on 99 points in the championship, IF Mercedes sort out their car it is not impossible for him to ne propelled into the WDC fight, as evidently Ferrari don't have the bottle for it.
I like Perez, but he is rarely faster than Max; that's not a secret. He's the best team mate that Max has had though, possibly even including Ricciardo. He compliments Max very well; he brings the car home, is able to execute alternative strategies to put other teams' drivers under pressure, and is now performing at a level where he's right there behind Verstappen to back it up.Won without shining is what I meant with that. Perez was not faster than him today.
I think he's helped by the fact he's had 2 (or 3?) seasons driving around in an utterly turd car and doing better than should be expected.He’s doing brilliantly so far.

Great lap by LeClerc

Not lessening Hamiltons success over the years, but he's had a package that's always up at the front and he's not had to worry too much beyond his fastest rivals.
He hasn't scrapped In traffic against comparable cars for what, 8 years?
