        Lewis Hamilton .... really needs to employ somebody new for his PR.

        Acknowledge this is a bit of hatchet job really, but come on ... this shit ain't upsetting.

                Things couldn’t have gone much better for Red Bull/Max

                Verstappen started in 14th because of an engine penalty, takes the lead in 18 laps and wins comfortably


                Hamilton squeezed Alonso but the contact ends his own race. He admitted it was his error, no penalty though

                Alonso’s comments were funny “This guy only knows how to drive starting first”

                Video of Alonso/Hamilton incident won’t embed but you can click through:

                  100% guess.

                  I have no idea at all. Just can’t see how an organization as big as Renault could announce this without any sort of agreement from him.

                          Verstappen makes it look easy again

                          All the chat is about the safety car at the end.. they should've been quicker clearing it out but it didn't affect the result.

                          The opening lap from Max is what set up the win

                            Verstappen is just so much quicker than anybody else. Only way races are actually interesting from here on in is if he has to start from the back, or somehow the others find and extra turn of pace.

                            Can't see Binotto being there next year. Ferrari really only have themselves to blame that they aren't pushing the RB's harder. Car is certainly quick and LeClerc / Sainz are both brilliant drivers.

                              The interest now is in the other sub plots

                              Can Mercedes catch Ferrari?
                              Can Leclerc hold onto 2nd?
                              Will Russell keep beating his teammate? When will that friction boil over?
                              Shouldn't Perez be doing better given the Red Bulls speed?

                              Also, hopefully we see some Alonso v Hamilton battles

                                Apparently due to cost constraints they have different floors at the moment. And Perez prefers a more neutral car compared to Max who, from what I've heard likes his pointy.

                                Meanwhile in one race De Vries scores more points than Latifi has all year.

                                  I think the teams setup the cars focused on their lead driver and then the second driver has to kind of adapt. If you go back to the Senna / Prost days apparently their cars were extremely different for each race. Not sure funding / costs etc allow you to do that anymore.

                                  Having said that, Perez is probably about where RB would expect him to be. Max is their main man, after all.

                                  There certainly are a lot of sub-plots left in the season to concentrate on. The Russell / Hamilton axis is a cracking one. Poor old Latifi.
