Thunderstorms and showers delayed until the evening (says Cat24 weatherman).
Re: Formula One
Hamilton is probably one of the all-time best at wet weather driving.

Absolutely. Not bad at driving in the dry, either!

Love or hate him, Hamilton is one of the all time greats...

Re: Formula One
The first bend will be interesting if both Hamilton and Verstappen get good starts. The Pole sitter has won 95% of all races.

Re: Formula One
They both seem to respect each other, give each other room and race hard. It could be a good race.

Re: Formula One
Yes, but good 'tatticks' by the team.
Re: Formula One
It is good to see Hamilton up against someone who is a good driver and has a car with a decent enough performance to be competitive. He probably enjoys it more, winning after a competitive race.

Magnus, apart from not winning, what is he not impressed about?

He's just grumpy because they didn't win. They picked up 6 & 8, though.

Amazing mistake by LH.

Re: Formula One
Most excellent and fair end to today's race after restart. The race should have been finished after the red flag, instead of an attempt made to give the spoilt boy from Stevenage another undeserved win. It backfired. Mercedes NIL points.

Re: Formula One
Agreed and I think under those circumstances the result would be taken from the positions at the end of the preceding lap.
The sprint race qualifying later in the year should be good though.
