Bottas on pole then for tomorrow - should be an interesting start to the race.

Credit to George Russell for almost getting into Q3 in that Williams as well.

“I’m back 😁
Not for long. Lewis and Max are both different class. Bottas couldn't even get fastest lap for Mercedes today.

Edit: spoke too soon, Max's lap deleted, so I guess he did at least get fastest lap

That’s the way he wins. Because someone else’s car broke down, crashed or was disqualified. 😗

Anyone know why they use a track where the tarmac is not suited for F1? Every driver all weekend talking about no grip and you could see cars slipping all over the place all weekend

Another question. Anyone know why they start an airplane or jet engine next to the post race interviews every weekend? 🙄

Winning the #PortugueseGP was a great way to celebrate the 500th grand prix for Mercedes-Benz engines! 😀 👍


This season promises to be exciting. Without a doubt, the battle between Max and Lewis, between Mercedes-AMG and Red Bull, will be very close🍿


At the moment Lewis and Mercedes are making the most of their opportunities, leading the drivers and constructors standings, at a start to the season where the Red Bull/Max tandem is theoretically the fastest…


… but Mercedes seems to be making up ground, mainly on Sundays.

Today Lewis had a great race, overtaking Max and Bottas on the track to dominate and win the race... we will see how the battle continues next week in Barcelona, my home circuit 😀

Not much exciting race to watch to be honest. Congrats again to SLH & Mercedes-AMG! He’s definitely bound to reach 100 Grand Prix wins and 100 Pole Positions this year! If SLH is tailing you on your back, be worried cause he can surely overtake you! 😉

A bit of recurring issues from the past years, SLH is simply talent with a great car. Max also really good, starting in P3 and finishing P2. Checo also managed to make good points for Red Bull. Atleast he’s staying within the Top 4. Bottas is good in qualifying but somehow can’t really manage to sustain it in the race. Poor guy or is it just because SLH is his teammate? Probably both 😁

Somehow Mercedes-AMG is the more powerful and faster car vs Red Bull Honda n this track. You can clearly see in the straights where most of the overtaking is done with DRS. 😲

The Trio of Hamilton, Verstappen & Bottas have now reach a new F1 Record! Most recurring trio podium winners of all time! 🙄

I'm surprised those three have only been on the podium together 17 times....

I agree it wasn't a particularly exciting race, but then again I wasn't bored by it either.

Attended a bike meeting there some years back WSB or GP (need to check the t shirt) interesting track with the elevation changes creating blind crests/bends, don’t remember if was windy or not, it maybe due it’s position near the coast?
