He doesn't need luck, he needs to step up his game. Vettel and Ferrari are just being outclassed this season |

I agree, if the team do well Vettel slips and if he does well the team slip, The Germans have been spot on and Lewis is on fire
So even if they both step up their game a little bit of luck would still be needed  |

Really do like Kimi’s attitude.
I’d like to see Bottas win and hope Merc don’t swap them to get Hamilton in front, or doctor the strategy to get him in front. That said, Bottas has to nail the start and get through Turn 1 in the lead. |

Oh I just woke up, it's already started?
Hamilton for me, but Bottas is my 3rd fave so hoping for him.
A Kimi win would be amazing and I just hope McLaren's drivers can get some points... |

Think I want me to win, but as I am not in the race one of the others can have it.
Nice to see force India coming up to the top 6 a bit more, new blood is always good. |

"I really wish someone would kick that pedestal out from under Lewis Hamilton’s feet ...... HARD!"
You could see he wasn’t overly happy about the win. Not Hamilton’s fault, it was team orders. |

"I really wish someone would kick that pedestal out from under Lewis Hamilton’s feet ...... HARD!"
Why? Because he is a winner? Why is it whenever a British competitor does well someone wants to knock them down?
The guy is the fastest driver in the not the best car. His record does not need excusing as he has earned every single point and title. He only lost to Rosberg because of German internal politics. He is making Vettel (who really does have an attitude problem) look 2nd rate in a faster car.
And so he had team orders in his favour today and gained an extra 5 points. But Bottas is a distant 3rd behind Vettel so its a no-brainer at this point in the Championship. They all know the score before they start and in F1 there will over the course of a Championship be a No 1 and a No 2. Ferrari have that stated in contracts before they even race. Ask Massa and Irvine
Hamilton is top class, a great representative for F1 and the UK. Started from a Council House racing karts and became a World Champion 4 times. A bloody legend. |

The reason why for me is simple. He doesn’t drive for Ferrari |

Best reason I've heard, most just say they don't like him or he's arrogant when they like another just as arrogant driver  |

I believe you won't get very far in motorsports without some kind of selfish and a winning attitude. Who was the last nine F1 champion??
I have the upmost respect for him. |

Not a bad gp after last year's bore fest. If you want pure raw racing watch the Speedway gp on BT sport next sat evening. Brit Tai Woffinden has a shot at being triple WC and there are no team orders, rich daddies or diamond studded helmets! |

Thing is, he has now shown he's one of the best F1 drivers in history- some fantastic driving skills and consistantly the best in recent years. Yes, he's been a prize pillock at times over those years, but since taking over managing his own career he's matured immensely- the same can't be said of Vettel, who constantly seems to act like a spoilt 12yo and he's lost his touch recently- partly due to not seemingly being able to control his frustations.
Verstappen reminds me very much of Hamilton in his first F1 seasons- a little spoilt and with the arrogance of youth, but he's also made several monumental fuck ups over the last two years and its starting to sink in and you can see how he's starting to change and think before acting at times- I think he'll take his first title in 2020 or 2021.
Poor Bottas though- thats gotta hurt!
pretty sure they'll flip the situation in the remaining races if they get the chance, although it still probably won't feel like a victory earned. |

Your rarely going to see that in sport could you imagine the people who put money on bottas to win today..in the end it ended it up like a sprint finish in a cycle race where it was set up for the main sprinter to win the race x |

"Hamilton didnt win it was mercedes that won"
Did Ferrari have the pace, are they ever gonna be able to keep up with the technology that Mercedes have at the moment?
Look what happened to Williams & McLaren after they had both won World Championships with drivers who were at the top of their game.
Hamilton is a better driver than Vettel in my opinion, as much as I like the guy |

Meanwhile Leclerc finishes 7th in a Dauber but McLaren languishes in 14th, slower than the Toro Rosso Hondas they lost so much money to get rid of for Alonso's sake, who is now leaving anyway  |

Hamilton is just outclassing Vettel at every turn.
A 50 point lead in the championship over Vettel who is arguably in a faster car, just shows he is the better driver |

"Ceased to be a ‘sport ‘ decades ago.
Hamilton missed a big opportunity to become a real hero, he should have blanked Putin."
With the way Putins been throwing nerve agents around, I probably wouldn't have blanked him either |

Hamilton's at the top of his game right now (has been for the past year or two at least). Ferrari has had the (marginally) better car for most of this season but Hamilton has applied the pressure and turned the screw at every given opportunity, using every ounce of skill and experience he has to keep himself in the hunt. You only have to look at Bottas to get an idea of where the car is without Hamilton's touch. Look at Hamilton's race in Germany. His qualifying lap in the rain in Hungary. Muscling his way past both Ferraris in their own backyard at Monza. THAT pole lap in Singapore. Just look in comparison at how Ferrari performed in those races (often with the better car). The past 7 races, at the most crucial part of the season, when the pressure gets ramped up a notch, he's had 5 wins and two second places. Regardless of whether he goes on to win the championship or not, this is special stuff. |
