Translated as, It's my dummy and I'll spit it if I want to. Verstappen is a true racer. I'm glad he did say that. I watch F1 to see proper racing, excellent race. Can imagine Christian Horner having a few choice words with him after the race though. Probably unjustified as I think that even if he had let Bottas pass after his 5 second penalty, he wouldn't have been able to maintain the 5 second gap between himself and Vettel. The real idiot in that scenario was Bottas. He should have just cruised round a safe distance behind Verstappen and he was guaranteed 3rd place. Why risk it? Really felt for Kimi, he deserved the win. Looked gutted after the race, mind you, he always does! Highlight of the race was turn 2, lap 1. Lewis sticks it down the inside of Vettel and Vettel pirouettes down the track. A beautiful sight. Lewis, once again, proves that he's the man!

Verstappen is going to be entertaining driver also in the future. I don't really understand why you praise Verstappen and mock Bottas for the similar actions. Bottas (a Swede at least until the next race) also wanted to race and wanted to overtake Verstappen on the track.. regardless there was a chance of collision. I don't really like team orders, but I guess those belong to F1 as long as there are multiple cars from one team on the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottas is a Finn. He also had more to lose and it was out of character. Not a racer in the same sense as Verstappen. Saw Verstappen race in Macao, a few months before he joined F1. Crashed out trying to take the lead. Crazy guy but great to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he is allowed to be number 1 driver of the team once again. https://www.sauberf1team.com/news/kimi-raikkonen-to-race-for-the-alfa-romeo-sauber-f1-team-from-2019-2 Edited September 11, 2018 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season Raikkonen has given quite a good challenge for Vettel. Provided they Raikkonen would have been allowed to really race against Vettel.. and Ferrari hadn't screwed up Kimi's tactics for few times.

If you want a young, exiting, world class driver that would give Vettel a serious challenge......Max Verstappen. Leclerc probably got the shout because he was already on Ferrari's books, Sauber runs the Ferrari engine and a straight swap with Kimi would be simple contractually, but I would love to see Verstappen in a Ferrari. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Lewis's best lap ever. One of those very rare perfect laps. A privelige to watch. Looking forward to the start tomorrow. Lewis needs to get into the first corner in the lead. Max will be very agressive. Hopefully Bottas can mess Vettel up a bit, but somehow I doubt it.

Andrew Dwyer Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Yes, a super lap from Lewis, one of those where everything falls into place.Max rose to the challenge and came close ! , a force to be reckoned with !!Should be a great race tomorrow, or at least a great charge to the first turn !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
