I hate Horner but he was right about this
"screw up" - Oh the moral injury..
I think the opposite. He comes across as very professional and measured in comparison with Horner.
Would Would a sweet end to the season to see smug Horner and entitled Max lose the championship.
But it could go either way...
Agreed. Horner is so arrogant, entitled and odious. Toto is arrogant but neither entitled nor odious, in my opinion.
Whichever way this goes I just hope there isn't a clear runaway winner next season with the new regs coming.
Aargh link doesn't work here, but cheers. He's had a few outbursts over the years.
If he thought it was a screw up, he should have appealed.
Sure you have not got mixed up, you are describing Horner to a tee.
Horner just moans and bitchs about everything, he is arrogant and just unlikable.
Toto also moans, but he is likable.
Horner or Toto as a boss, it would be Horner all day.
I can't think of many team bosses I've liked over the years apart from Ross Brawn.
Thought this was a laugh
Frank Williams?
Don't think I mentioned Horner did I? Wasn't meant as a comparison between them anyhow. Horner is more charismatic than Tot without a doubt but the things yes he bitches and moans about everything. They're both cnuts. Think the difference is Horner is a cnut in public and Toto is PC to the outside world.
Toto seems very inoffensive to me. Strange that you should get so riled up about a rather bland character.
Toto saying they’re putting on the special equipment for the next two races was top trolling 
Ha ha really? Have you got a clip?Toto saying they’re putting on the special equipment for the next two races was top trolling
Yeah, Toto "Fcuk them all" Wolff is very inoffensive. My bad.
Just caught up with the race. Plenty of overtaking so wasnt as bad as originally thought. Did have my heart in my mouth when I thought bottas would cause a saftey car with his blown tyre undoing all of lewis's work.
8 point lead with two races to go, would you rather have the lead going into the last two races or at present the faster car in a straight line chasing down those 8 points? It's a tough call.
Personally would love lewis to win no8, however dont mind if max wins it either. Just cannot stand Christian Horner, maybe the most dislikable team principle in f1, worse than flavio.

That reaction was such a nothing reaction and it’s strange how riled up some people including Horner have been by that . Mercedes felt that they had a tough weekend and that’s just a way of pumping yourself up. Can’t believe how anyone can take that so seriously
It's not just that reaction though, that's just the latest example of it. He seems to like to create an us against the world atmosphere and is just very unlikeable in general. The way he instructs Bottas reminds me of how people command their dogs.
Given the layout of the circuits, you’d definitely rather be Hamilton right now. Red Bull are relying on an accident, reliability issue or strategy feck up from Mercedes. I just don’t see how else they can keep Hamilton behind Max after what we’ve seen in the last two races.
Imagine Bottas' car will be upgraded as well given Mercedes retired it so they would be free to change some parts right?
Frank Williams
Eddie Jordan
Alain Prost
Jean Todt
Jackie Stewart
They are all going back a few years I suppose
Does anyone know which ICE engine lewis ran this weekend? Was it the brasil one or the other one in the pool?
People are saying not the Brazil one... if that's the case then will be interesting to see what it does at Saudi (perhaps it was so fast as its been tuned to only last 3 races?)
Wonder if red bull might just write off saudi and take a new engine / grid penalty and go for it In Abu dhabi
Frank Williams should be one for sure though I never really focused on that side of things when Williams were dominating as I was young and it was all about the cars on track.
Eddie Jordan is great... For channel 4's F1 coverage.
The others I was thinking more about title winning teams when they are under pressure and fighting other teams - they seem okay but didn't really stand out as the nice but level headed guy that Ross Brawn is.
Otherwise I guess you could add a few like Claire Williams, Vasseur, Whitmarsh, etc.
I look forward to Binotto getting involved next year - seems an odd ball with his own set of opinions but with the might of Ferrari behind him.
Toto confirmed it wasn't the Brazil one earlier in the weekend, and that's what his 'spicy equipment' is about above - using that mega engine (or flexi rear wing if you believe the rumours) for the next race.
They've won the next one barring a disaster so it will come down to Abu Dhabi.
Thanks, bbc article confirmed that it wasnt the brasil engine, though lewis used the same rear wing as in brasil. It was RB who changed their wing for qatar, using the rear wing that they used in Mexico and Monaco. They seem to have a structural issue with their rear wing that they use at low downforce circuits I.e. Saudi and Abu Dhabi. Probably why Horner is so salty.
It was the one from Turkey, I think this was that particular ICE’s third race.
The tribalism in here is poetic.
Hamilton on chasing milliseconds of performance benefits amongst other stuff.
