They need to give Verstappen an even faster car...a few tenths a lap advantage just isn't enough.
Hamilton in that Red Bull would have won the first 3 races against Verstappen in the Merc easy peasy.

Was it just me, or was it REALLY satisfying to see HAM pass VER like it was no thing. DRS makes a difference.

Not just you, but certainly not me. I need more shake up and we didn’t get it here. Shorter drs zone didn’t help either. Blah, next week please.

Right ! That's why HAM left McLaren just in time !


In 2013 LAUDA whispered in HAM's ear : Move your A$$ to Mercedes ASAP ! ..
Mercedes found a decade of advantage in the coming Hybrid era !

I'll post it again mate ...This time just for you !

As HAM said it by himself !! BLIND ???

Speechless mate ?

BOT : Over the board radio :
No power ! No power ! I'm losing speed on the straight ...

3 or 4 laps later BOT was running for the fastest lap !!!!

Toto pushed from behind the pitwall on the warp-speed button ....

another top-notch drive from Lewis.. well done!!!
Lewis was nursing his tires from the 2nd lap even right behind Bottas.. staying away from curbs, slower but smoother line to apex and straighter exits.. superb job that looked easy like always..

and the moment Lewis thought he was lapping Perez made me laugh..

Red Bull's side.. i believe RB ruined Perez's race quite a lot.. he had some gap to Bottas but maybe he could get Bottas when he was struggling with a sensor.. sometimes RB's different approach starts to make no sense in such examples like this..

and best overtake goes to.. NORRIS.. couldnt remember who it was but such a great overtake from outside that completed in few corners.. it was epic!

as Ric stated he still drives the car consciously but not by his instinct.. Ric needs some help to feel comfortable in the car asap.. he has a lot potential that stuck inside..

Ferrari's were looking great at the beginning but then vanished.. again and again Leclerc carried his car to the best place possible but Sainz's race was ruined by such fantasy long stint on mediums.. unbelievable...

Alonso was in the game after mid race but Ocon being faster than him.. ouch..

.
.
.
.
.
.


and just an observation.. do Merc's rake is a bit higher? looks like its more aggressive than ever before?

At McLaren HAM never had to fight against a decade of Mercedes dominance and advantage..

Because HAM's A$$ himself , runs in that spaceship equipped with warp-speed !

As MAX requested last year : Let us swap cars ! But HAM fooled with silly answers and walked ...
Of course ...

No...he fought against a RBR EBD car 2 seconds a lap faster than the field and still won races.

Same for MAX . He was the only driver to beat (sometimes) the Mercedes in warp-speed .
Actually 11 times . 11 victories ...
I didn't saw another driver doing it !

After 3 races things are changed very quickly again , and today even more !
Great catch from Mercedes in a short period of time (actually in only 2 weeks) Mercedes was running behind in terms of grip and balance by the W12's low rake .
Today Mercedes showed that they worked really hard , knowing the Algarve asphalt was really tricky !
But Mercedes showed today anyway : The W12's grip , balance and warp-speed improved tremendously !!!!
As far as I know Toto knocked on McLaren's door (the orange Mercedes)

Hey my friends ! Your diffuser looks really interesting !

This means more work for RB-Honda to catch it up regarding more power !

Too bad Checo didn't played the RB-strategy with HAM behind him ..
I screamed loud : Checo please push on your F* brake pedal now , or just close your F* door NOW !
Play the game ...Now you have the chance !!!

But finally MAX didn't had any chance . The W12 was just too fast .

Congrats anyway !

My friend, Max had a chance today but was beaten by Sir Lewis in the W12. Mercedes is working hard to develop the car and Sir Lewis is definitely showing his superiority. Without him in the W12, RBR wins.

The two passes on BOT and VER, respectively, were clinical.

Until VER has the relentless pace of Sir Lewis, he will win the odd race but won't win championships.

VER is a good driver but he is no Sir Lewis, my friend. There is no shame in this, whatsoever.

Cheers, my friend.

We'll see that . This season isn't over yet ..
Hopefully HONDA can catch it up ASAP . If MAX had the necessary power from his HONDA PU .
He would show it as well....Like in Bahrain and Imola !
