Just switched over in time to see a team of engineers and mechanics (or whatever) chatting away in the background behind the presenter who's midway through a segue and one of the guys in the background takes a massive nutshot at one of the others. Brilliant.

This race has been thoroughly entertaining. Hilarious antics.

I know Bottas "is on a blind date with his tyres" but Russell is showing him up something chronic.

Sergio Perez wins in his first podium after 190+ races. So cool. Couldn't even speak on his way in through the tears.

Feel sorry for the forgotten man Ocon though! No one even wants to mention him!

[Bones]

Perez was last at the end of the first lap.

MB demonstrating that Hamilton is kissed on the dick in that team.

[Hooroo]

I see Schumacher's son won the Formula 2 championship this weekend.

So in a nutshell, Mercedes completely fucked up destroying Russel's chances of a maiden victory.

Perez's emotion was absolutely superb viewing though. What a story. What a victory.

I watched a fair bit of post race (which I never do) and the Perez and Russel interviews were great. At the risk of going all tin foil hat though, I think some questions need to be asked of MB. A team which has basically never fucked up, suddenly does when they have a young rookie in embarrassing his team mate.

@MajorRage Russel hadn't even got points before had he? It was a pretty bizarre scenario all around really, they'd only recently pitted and then to double-up, as well as the fuck ups on top of that...

[Machpants]

Mercedes have fucked over Hamilton enough, last session he lost two (at least) due to their cock ups. It's not unusual

@antipodean don't get it?

@antipodean Is that u taking a photo of Lewis taking a photo of his car?

[Machpants]

Is it doctored, cos what's displayed on his phone appears to be not what the phone camera is pointing at. If so I don't get the joke?

Well deserved, he has been the best British driver in my lifetime by the length of the straight and some

According to the Beeb, yes.

Has he announced his retirement and I missed it? It all feels a bit weird when current players/sportspeople etc are knighted.
