Hamilton again is truly a MASTERCLAS!
Pole Position, Fastest Lap & Inaugural GP Winner!
😲😲😲

And he did NOT do it the “boring way” (leading the race start to finish 😒😒😒)

Bottas just can’t deliver.. truly sad! It was more exciting with Nico Rosberg as a teammate IMHO!

One of the longest F1 race. Because of the double red flag. High speeding corners-crash and alot of overtaking at long sweeping Turn 1! You can really see DRS working on the long straight! This is an exciting race and did not disappoint. Although even with unpredictability mixed with chaos, Hamilton is “Still We Rise”

It's a difficult one to work out. I think everyone involved in that accident has to take a little bit of the blame. Racing incident I guess.

Bottas looked really fed up in his post race interview.

I’m truly sad about Bottas.. he is like Rubens 2.0 😵‍💫

Why is it the camera angle always changes just at the wrong moment so you never actually get to see the pile up properly?

Funny how that Alfa basically illustrated why self driving cars are a bad idea, as that's exactly the same problem they have, that when a car pulls to the side of a slow moving car they just pile into the back of it.

I don't think there's any 'resetting' for him, he's done.

They switched places and overtook each other for the first 2 standing grid starts. The 3rd one was supposed to be his lucky wish but AGAIN he didn’t deliver. 🤔 He was hoping for a safety car but he was given more than that, a red flag! Then he completely missed the opportunity even falling behind Ricciardo. 🙁

Hamilton is just breezing his way to a 7th F1 Championship Title with no actual competitor.. 😵‍💫

It's true, it's a pretty empty victory. Not his fault, that's just how it is...

When they had to introduce DRS to aid overtaking, and interest, F1 was in need of an overhaul, too late for many spectators now I fear, only watched the highlights and a lot of that didn’t include racing.

I miss this sound.. 🙁

Probably one of the reasons why F1 was less appealing to many other than a dominating / boring race. Only in the olden F1 races where you can hear this symphony 😉
I miss that sound too. Don't really understand whey they reduced the engine sizes. All in the name of the sport looking more modern and eco friendly wasn't it? But this is supposed to be the pinacle of motorsport.

Petrol heads might appreciate this - I'm surprised TAG Heuer don't get involved in sponsoring this really, it would be inexpensive and since it's all about fractions of a second you'd think it would be ideal!

There have been a few F1 cars lapped Knockhill, the V8 and V12 engines reverberated off the surrounding hills, made the hair on my neck stand to attention, any small capacity engine with a turbo do not sound right.

Another viewpoint:
Glorious! Judging by Mick's stellar performance, I think he's ready to graduate to F1!

He is currently at the top points of F2 with his teammate Shwartzman at fourth. If he can continue his form and talent at little bit more in the few remaining races, F1 surely is a bright future for him! 👍

I'd say bring him on for 2021. His performance was stellar!
