Ofc I know .It's a completely different Honda engine . And I mean for the first season at RB ..

Fantastic race, nice to see some middle of the pack guys get on the podium. Max of course was stellar, what a talent.

Just my opinion, but I think the Ferrari crash was Vettel's fault. Sure Charles could have a moved a bit to the left, but Vettel was the one who turned into him and all would have been fine had he just waited a millisecond later.

That drag race at the end between Gasly and Hamilton was siiiiiiiiick, had me on the edge of the seat and struck with that terrible memory of Alonso's huge crash right by the pit lane at the end of another Brazil race many years ago. Glad they got through unscathed!

Was definitely a roller coaster of a race, no matter which team you're rooting for (except Williams).

Being a Ferrari fan it was not the best outcome, but I personally think it was shared fault. They each have too much to prove against each other, and given the fact that they're teammates, should probably have been more defensive around each other (Vettel not take/expect so much space, and LeClerc give Vettel the space since by that time he would have seen Vettel was ahead and moving left). Nevertheless, wasn't the first and won't be the last squabble between teammates.

Would have loved to see Hamilton not on the podium at the end - not because I'm not a fan of his but because the amount of energy that podium would have seen if it was Sainz or Albon in the 3rd spot would have been something to see. They'd be ecstatic compared to Hamilton placing 3rd.

With zero points from the Brazilian GP through team collision I'll wager Ferrari bosses may yet decide not to let Vet and Lec race each other as the Scuderia is getting a raw deal from the ironic situation

You know Seb is angry when he starts cussing in German!

Atleast he took it like a man, and admit when he was wrong even though imo he could have said the door was open and there was room.

Max wouldn't have, and whined like a baby that he got turned in on, bah bah...

Anyway very impressive results from Honda in their first season !
If MAX can fight for the worldtitle in 2020 . I'm pretty sure he will stay at Red Bull .
If not ....It's Mercedes for MAX.

The Honda topspeed is finally improved , that's what we saw yesterday . This means keep an eye on MAX in Abu Dhabi....
He's not done yet....

Kinda of a narrow minded view of Honda, first year? Comeon, even last year RB was testing them as they powered Toro Rosso. Then all the failures at McLaren. You need to open your mind a little bit and not have tunnel vision on Max all the time.

RB/Honda owes some Honda's success to all the failures at McLaren and even Toro Rosso, as they have surely learned and developed from that.

First, I agree that there was room left by Albon and a committed F1 driver is going to take that much room to try and make a pass. It was a ‘racing incident’ 100%.

Second, Hamilton took responsibility like the multiple WDC that he is in apologizing to Albon. If it had been Max that another driver had shut the door on, he, Max, would never have accepted responsibility for the move, as in his mind he can do no wrong and is always entitled to track position.

That being said, Max and RB drove a fantastic race all weekend; well done!

Naturally it is always best to do the right thing after a mistake.

Unless your an entitle little prick.

But RedBull did have a great weekend, amazing pitstop, so good for them they deserved the win.

That's what I actually said . Pretty much everything is improved on that Honda engine and is completely different in the RB
Tunnel vison on MAX ? Do you know MAX already 18 years ? I don't think so ...
Well I do ! MAX is born here at my place , here in Belgium .Only 12 miles from my home ...

I saw his first race my friend and he won it ! MAX was only 4 and his driver skills are beyond our understanding , even Michael Schumacher was impressed by his driver skills . Because MAX is actually born on the circuit !
I had to laugh when he said the second place P2 is for a loser !
You guys have no idea ...That's really sad ! But soon you will ...
I saw and know MAX .That's why MAX is my man in F1 ...

[M5Rick]

Brawn has said that the Ferrari drivers should own up to mistakes like Hamilton does.It's easy for him to say that as it's a no brainer to nearly everyone that Ham stepped into the kitty lltter,tired with fighting with Max.
With the Ferrari incident it's more difficult to apportion blame as both drivers thought they were holding their line so he can't compare it with Hamilton's blooper. The stewards confirmed that it was a racing incident so Brawn's point is nonsense.
