Yeah, apart from Mercedes terrible strategy. I meant two weeks at this track. Next week will be the same yawn fest if it doesn't rain.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Man of unknown age yells at cloud.
That's a fair comment. Though Lando's been in the same car for 3 years and Ric struggled his first year at Renault too after leaving Red Bull to chase the money
Worse gp of the year other than monaco. Cant believe we are back here again next weekend on the same bloody layout.
If your gonna do a double header at same venue at least have a different layout for the following weekend ala bahrain which was awesome. If it doesnt rain next weekend its gonna be another snooze fest. Just need the RB to be abit slower so we can get some close wheel to wheel action between lewis and max.

Interesting move to bring Perez in now. Shame they cocked up his first stop
Interesting Merc radio chat . "What does it mean?"
In a way, why wouldn't you bring Hamilton in for a second stop? He would come out only behind Bottas who would let him through, it lets him get the fastest lap and would give him a chance to chase Verstappen down on new tyres.
Gap between 3rd and 4th is certainly closing. But it's a huge gap to close
Bottas is in traffic too. Its doable.
Because if he pits Max will just pit too. Hamilton may as well pit on lap 69 if he wants to do fastest lap else Red Bull will just respond .
Red Bull were always going to be mega here, the hope is Merc can be closer moving forward and we get the battles we have been getting.
I think it’s because they don’t have any new tires left
Shows how boringly dominance Mercury have been- first year since 2014 they've gone 4 races without a win.
Why no rain?! Teasing us by hinting at rain yet the sun remains

The fact he is shit will also be a factor
True, Verstappen could respond. He would be close to Bottas though if he had a slow stop which Hamilton wouldn't have to worry about
Bit of rain might liven this up.
Im so bored. Mercedes have turned down lewis engine. If they havent they should have done it after lap3.
Merc strategy was poor too.
What a turnaround this season. Both Red Bull are absolutely flying and despite Lewis Hamilton very best efforts, he can do little about it. Rain excluded.
Then do something more interesting.
Come on, rain! Max is nearly so far ahead they could bring him in and stick wet tyres on in case, same for Lewis
If Merc and Hamilton hadn't had an absurd car advantage in previous years, Max would probably already be a world champion. But its starting to look like this really could be his year
I pay for my sky f1, need to get my moneys worth
Bet it rains the minute the race ends
That is fair. But remember what Russell did in his first race for Mercedes and in a car specific to Lewis Hamilton.
Honda have built an engine that is beating Merc week after week. Mad that they are pulling out at the end of the year and allowing Red Bull to stick a VW badge or something on it.
If Russell tried a stop like that on the last lap his nose would fall off
Don't think Perez will quite reel in Bottas
Good effort though. What was the gap, 18 seconds?
Looks like Hamilton will take the fastest lap
My apology. Shouldn't have said that.
Despair for Mercedes. Going for the extra point.
Well done Max! What a driver. Pity Perez didn't get Bottas there.
Huge congrats to Bottas for limping onto the podium because Red Bull fecked up Perez's pit stop.
Lewis will use that to stick Russell at Williams for another year

Good effort from Perez there, just needed a bit of time.
Max and Hamilton full pit stops ahead of their team mates on a track with 8 corners.
Lewis actually might need Russell to help threaten Max position. Bottas is below Perez level.
Congrats Max. It his champs to lose now but boring race btw
Max needs to start bending the peak on his caps
Good effort by Perez there, but ultimately not enough. Shame about that slow pit stop as he didn't do much wrong himself to lose that 3rd place. Not that best race but oh well.
