Kudos for Schumacher making it into Q3 for the first time.
I'm sure he'll have a decent race until he somehow ends up in a crash. Seems to be his M. O.

Mick will probably be lucky if his F1 career is comparable to Uncle Ralf’s.

Glad to see him in top 10, I still think that he isnt on his full potential right now. He need 1-2 good races and after it he could show all what is his max.

for today I hope first to cross line will be in red colors😀

We should all be grateful for Lewis not retiring the car to save the engine. What true champion to persevere::facepalm1::.

HAM did manage to go from P19 to finish P5 and was voted DOTD. RUS probably deserved DOTD but I’m sure he’s okay with his consolation prize of P3.

Engine might have been cooked anyway. Water leaks for both Mercs and they were ordered to lift and coast for the last few laps.

There were some very strong drives today!

I don't want to back to the "grenade" engine era, but three per year is not enough IMO. Even back when the DFV was dominant they were stripped & rebuilt after each race.

Lewis wanted to quit on like lap 3.

"Ultimately there was quite a bit of adversity in that race, starting so far back," Hamilton said.

"There was a girl that I spoke to yesterday, who was my little inspiration, Isla, a five-year-old that's terminally ill and she said can you win the race for me tomorrow.

"I said I don't know if I can win the race, but I'll give it everything. So hopefully for me, that was a bit like a win, and I dedicate it to her."

Speaking on the team radio, Hamilton offered to quit the race by saying: “I would save this engine guys if I was you. I'm sorry.”

To bad for Leclerc...he had perfect situation today and then to be so unlucky. On other hand so many problems for Max and 1 at end...

this will be crazy until last race.

It's great that even when Lewis is irrelevant, people still can't stop talking about him. F1 is going to miss him when he leaves.

F1 has Lewis Hamilton
Golf has Tiger Woods
The chattering class of sports 'experts' always has these guys in the events reporting.

Nobody needs to be an expert to see the moral failings of both these guys.

I understand Tiger's past is sketchy at best.
Not aware of anything terrible in Lewis'.

I say it often but I’ll say it again, never underestimate Ferrari’s ability to step on its own Johnson.

My mate who’s a die-hard Manchester United fan recently started following Ferrari in F1. He’s like yea I picked the right team.

Hey let's have this discussion after Abu Dhabi in November. I put George third and Lewis fourth o/all driver's championship. Not too shakey.

Only things I’m really aware are
1. Not going to the F1 gala last year
2. Crashed his Zonda a few years ago
3. Falling out with Nico.

Such a terrible guy…

And, don't forget the acrimonius split from Nicole (Pussycat Dolls singer?) where he apparently cussed her out....this is what I read but don't know how accurate....

I remember reading about how he didn't like people using his toilet on his private jet before he sold the jet. .
