We’ve all seen a German pull this shape before .

 well considering his comments about Williams car after free training, it looks like he would actually rather drive a tractor. 

And he'd probably still be faster in a tractor than Stroll in a Williams. 

[Stan]

good start from Vettel, getting in to 2nd.

[Stan]

Grosjean out. Hulkenberg out. 

[Stan]

Grosjean spins out, spins back in to the track in to all the traffic, meaning Nico and Gasly couldn't avoid him. Mayhem!

My tip for most positions gained is Pierre Gasly too, ffs 

changed mine yesterday from him to Ericsson  

[Stan]

Great awareness from other drivers to avoid Grosjean though especially in all the smoke. Think there were a few hearts in mouths at that moment!

Leclerc up in the points !!

will do very well to hold off Fernando!

[Stan]

Not looking good for Kimi  

[Stan]

Same as last year weren't it? Hamilton pole and win?

[nudge]

What a borefest... Happy for Leclerc, he's putting some good performances after getting used to the F1 car. It's also great to see Sauber not being the worst car on the grid. Talking about worst cars, I wouldn't be surprised if Williams left F1 after this season...

Yeah, I think it's 25 out of the last 27 races that have been decided from the front row. 

Amazing result, but a really, really boring race to watch.

yeah I switched off about halfway through to watch the football. Other than the drama in the first 10-15 minutes, didn't seem like much else would happen.

[God is Haaland]

With the recent changes to the tires Mercedes have an unbeatable technical package again.

[Tommy]

Couldn't see the race due to mother's day duties (yes, it's today in Germany). Happy for my boy Charles scoring another point for Sauber. 

[God is Haaland]

Awwww  look at those two fine gentlemen.

There are only two things missing: Verstappen and a fused hand grenade.

[Tommy]

Btw, anyone playing the official F1 Fantasy? I just created a team. It's too late now anyway, but just a bit of fun:

So according to f1today.net  Monaco could be Brendon Hartley's last race for Toro Rosso  Be strong @nudge

Well, that's Franz Tost for you. He's known as a heartless bastard to his drivers.

Sad, but not surprising, really. Expected him to do better  

[nudge]

As long as Sauber continues their positive development, I'm happy enough, hehe.

[nudge]

I don't mind Ericsson, to be honest, I think he's a decent enough driver. And he brings money to the team, of course. Definitely plenty of more talented guys out there who don't get a seat in F1, but hey, that's motorsport (and particularly F1) for you...

I think we can all just agree that it'll be declared a national holiday when Lance Stroll fucks off 

I'll drink to that  

[Tommy]

And the day when Danny Ric becomes a World Champion.

I love this man

and Grosjean.

[Tommy]

Grosjean needs to get his shit together again. At the moment he drives like he did for Renault/Lotus at the start of his career. But he's certainly shown that he can be a very good driver.
