Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,672 Posted July 9, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 9, 2017 Bottas takes his second win of the year, that boy is pure class. Ricciardo putting together a sensational run of performances recently constantly getting on the podium in the third best car. Tense race, bit anti climactic until that close finish. Good races also from Grosjean, Palmer, Williams and Force India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God is Haaland 618 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 1 hour ago, Stan said: yeah apparently frame by frame it's so tight. Bottas wheel moves as lights change. Bottas released the clutch while the red lights were still on, but it engaged exactly when the light went off. Incredibly lucky. Perez disrespected the blue flags as usual.

Administrator Stan 18,403 Posted July 9, 2017 Administrator Share Posted July 9, 2017 apart from the first 30 seconds, can't disagree with that. Routine for Bottas. Had no trouble at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,198 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I can't stand Vettel. He gets off lighltly for ramming a car, then he bitches because Bottas had a better start than him. I imagine he's an awful person to be around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I always wonder why people are surprised about top racing drivers having questionable personalities, at least on track. I think the very nature of motorsports sort of means that in order to be the best (or one of the best), you have to be more self-centered, confident to borderline arrogant, dominant and ruthlessly competitive, willing to do almost anything for a win. Hamilton, Vettel, Alonso, Schumi, Senna, Prost, Lauda, Mansell etc - each of them was a bit of a dick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets off lighltly for ramming a car, then he bitches because Bottas had a better start than him. I imagine he's an awful person to be around. Not really. Most drivers get on really well with him, and he's even the only driver on the grid who Kimi calls a friend He's a fun guy off track with a great sense of humour, and a great teamplayer. And to be fair, Bottas did have a jump start, it was just within limits. Ricciardo was actually the first one to complain about it over the radio. Anyway, boring race apart from the first and last lap. Seb almost catching Bottas, Danny defending brilliantly against Lewis. Good stuff! Gotta feel sorry for Max these days though.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,672 Posted July 9, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 9, 2017 Vettel thinking he knows better from being sat in the car seeing Bottas' start probably out of the corner of the eye than the race officials who have the benefit of telemetry and countless replays is stupid. He's no Schumacher and most of the time I'd simply describe him as determined and unyielding but you have to admit there are occasions where he just needs to shut his mouth and admit he was wrong. I remember when he blamed Webber for the Turkey 2010 crash that was clearly his fault, there was Multi 21, denying that he drove dangerously in Baku this year, and while vehemently claiming that Bottas jumped the start doesn't compare to any of those instances it's still arrogant to refuse to admit he was mistaken but like nudge says, this is what you expect from top racing drivers. It is easy to forget what a bellend he can be because he comes across as such a nice jovial chap off the track. Hamilton, by contrast, doesn't come off in front of the cameras as well as Seb does, is an absolute melt on social media and embarrassingly obsessed with his image, but very rarely crosses the line in the same way I've mentioned about Vettel. He got a lot of penalties for borderline aggressive driving in his first few years in the sport, a process we've seen Verstappen going through more recently, but seems to have found the balance these days. End of the day they're both cry babies in their own individual ways. I'm not complaining as frankly, it makes things more interesting and it's a crime that it's taken 10 years since they both debuted in F1, that despite winning the championship in seven of those years between them, this is the first time we get to see them go head to head for a title. However, I hope Red Bull are more competitive next year so I can get behind Danny Ric to wipe the floor with both of them . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
