You're saying Stroll is the best driver in F1? Might be alone on that one boet...

The best driver in F1 is Lewis Hamilton.

Sets us up for a great race tomorrow, especially as tomorrow's forecast is effectively the samd as today.
It will kill the race if it’s as wet as that. A near constant procession of Safety Cars. Hopefully the conditions will allow proper racing from the well mixed-up grid, in which case it’s definitely one to look forward to.

They overdid the red flag today, but there's a real difference between quali and race in terms of driver limits- nothing we saw today would have caused a red flag under race conditions, where drivers aren't looking at single lap performance. Anything that caused that type of event cancels the weekend through bad light

I think a bookie would give you decent odds that Stroll doesn't make it around the first lap tomorrow.
Good call.

Somewhat confusingly for a driver with his rep(the ultimate paid driver) Stroll has a history of being good in the wet.

Stroll is good enough to be in F1 regardless of how wealthy his father is. That pole, in those conditions, will have massive currency in the pitlane.

p.s Michael Masi should be fired asap.

Early kickoff in just 30 mins today

Just switched it on and Russell smashed his front wing heading to the grid. Giovanazzi done the same?

Under normal conditions he's one of the worst drivers on the grid. It's just than in the wet he seems to be much better

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 9:59 am**

More water. A number of cars crashing on the way to the grid. Expect a lot if incidents at the first corner

This start is going to be carnage.

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 10:12 am**

Stroll miles ahead of Verstappen on the formation lap. There are going to be some cold tyres at the front here...

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 10:14 am**

Verstappen looks like he was driving a van off the front line. Terrible start.

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 10:18 am**

Bottas thrown it all away. Hamilton has no grip at all.

His record is fine - two podiums already and now a pole position. That better than 80% of F1 drivers achieve in their entire careers already. I imagine you'd rate a driver like Hulkenberg higher.

All about guessing the best time to switch now

Hamilton getting some grip suddenly on the inters

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 10:37 am**

Giovanazzi done for the day.

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 10:38 am**

And that brings a virtual safety.

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 10:48 am**

Shocker from Max

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 11:04 am**

Amazed that there's only 1 retirement so far - and no crashes

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 11:12 am**

Red Bull is great in the quick bends, but really struggling to get the power down in the low gears on the straight. Tracing Point just drives away.

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 11:16 am**

Hamilton might try and take this to the end

The trouble tge Mercedes has had all weekend was that it wasn't getting heat and wear into the tyres. So you've got to think it's not wearing the tyres down as much.

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 11:34 am**

Hamilton will take the win. A change in the usual results would have been nice.

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 11:35 am**

Masterclass from Hamilton in these conditions

And Bottas competing with Latifi fir most spins today. Stone cold last.

Leclerc blew it 3rd last corner!!

Sergio 2nd

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 11:58 am**

Lewis is fcking amazing! Great win. 7th title. second to none.

What a great race.

Podium for Seb

Great drive from Perez, criminal he's not got a seat.

Posted: **Sun Nov 15, 2020 11:59 am**

Those are absolute slicks
