I've always felt like her articles were a little off from reality. Never really agreed with anything she's written, not that I've read many. Claiming Danica would be better in the car than Fred is delusional.

She can write about ridiculously awesome racing wallpapers.

Heck of a lap by BOT in Q2. Interested to see what they pull off in Q3.

So I guess Ferrari are genuinely the favorites 2mrw. Every session they had an answer for Merc. Let's hope they don't try to get cute and end up ******* themselves with strategy.

BOT beats HAM again. He starts getting under HAMs skin we can call him BOTfly lol

Must admit was rooting for all Finnish frontrow. Never happened b4.

Just an observation, but it seems like the team/cars that have Q pace really struggle with pace for the first half of the race. I wonder if the narrow window of the tyres is the issue and with a full fuel load the faster cars cannot push while the slightly slower cars can. 4 races and we've seen this each time. Just is usually the Mercs.

I don't think VET was going to beat BOT but MAS just fucked over VET. Get your slow *** out of the way.

Sauber is the only team on the grid that would be willing to take the Honda, so it's not exactly some sort of grand insight on Eddie's part.

He called it before it was announced though. It's not like the deal had to happen.

I think Sauber-Honda is great and I would be surprised to see Mclaren become a Merc customer team. I can't believe with EJ's prognostication here.

2018 forecast:
Fred stays with McLaren because they tell Honda to FO and promise Fred they can be as competitive as the Merc works outfit and Fred believes it.

Merc tells Williams sorry but we can't supply you anymore.

Honda, no longer burdened by the Alonso curse, develops the most powerful, fuel efficient, reliable PU on the grid. Williams gets the amazing Honda PU along with works status. Sauber gets the Honda PU for a song and a dance and is able to field a second team, Monisha Honda, to give seats to the 4 drivers they have signed for 2018.

The Honda PU powered cars lead every lap, win every pole/race and lockout all the podium places. Alonso has a nervous breakdown.

On a slightly moar serious note. Today's result is not very helpful for HAM and to a lesser degree Merc. BOT is closer to HAM in points than HAM is to VET. Gone be a lot harder to ask BOT to pull aside if he isn't drastically slower then HAM right now.

Was there any on track passing after the SC that didn't involve blue flags?

Not a single one that I can recall.

Ocon is impressing me, but that's my only takeaway from this race.
