The biggest oh ooh was when Mercedes put Hamilton on slicks to soon, I told myself they should have went with a fresh set of inters. Mercedes had the 1,2 locked until that missed step.
It was a good race though, but in the bigger picture Hamilton didn't lose much since Bottas went into the wall. All the others are 100 plus points behind in the driver standings.Family Room HT 7.2/i]:Vizio Oled55h1 Pioneer Elite SC-LX502 Pioneer Elite BDP 85FD Eversolo DMP A6 Panamax M5300-EXSpeakers Fronts Fluance XF8L Center Polk Audio S35 Side Surrounds Optimus LS30's Rear Surrounds Optimus LS30's Subs SVS PB4000 x2 Living room 2ch: Crown Xli 1500 amp Teac EQ MKII FX Audio X6 Mk II DAC Squeezebox Touch Fluance Signature Tower Speakers Panamax M5100-EXOffice media room:Vizio M50Q6 50" Pioneer Elite VSX LX103 Squeezebox Touch Polkaudio R50 Towers Polkaudio CS 10 Panamax M4300 Monoprice 12" subMaster bedroom:Vizio M55Q7 Pioneer Elite VSX LX302 Pioneer Elite BDP 85FD Squeezebox Touch Polk audio RTi 6 fronts, Rears Dayton B652 Polk Audio CS10 center Monoprice 12" sub Panamax M5300-EX -
Hamilton told the team it was too early for slicks and he was right. Maybe next time they will listen to the guy behind the wheel.Political Correctness'.........defined

Well, I'm not sure how someone gets driver of the day from the pole position and loose with 3 laps to go. While the other driver comes from 19 sec back to take the lead. The rest of the field did what was expected, HAAS fell back out of the points, Mclaren held their position and so on. Bottas, I wish he had better luck, but did not fight hard to get back in the race. Red Bull fumbled the win, getting out played by Mercedes and Hamilton showed why he is consider G.O.A.T in the hybrid era.Family Room HT 7.2/i]:Vizio Oled55h1 Pioneer Elite SC-LX502 Pioneer Elite BDP 85FD Eversolo DMP A6 Panamax M5300-EXSpeakers Fronts Fluance XF8L Center Polk Audio S35 Side Surrounds Optimus LS30's Rear Surrounds Optimus LS30's Subs SVS PB4000 x2 Living room 2ch: Crown Xli 1500 amp Teac EQ MKII FX Audio X6 Mk II DAC Squeezebox Touch Fluance Signature Tower Speakers Panamax M5100-EXOffice media room:Vizio M50Q6 50" Pioneer Elite VSX LX103 Squeezebox Touch Polkaudio R50 Towers Polkaudio CS 10 Panamax M4300 Monoprice 12" subMaster bedroom:Vizio M55Q7 Pioneer Elite VSX LX302 Pioneer Elite BDP 85FD Squeezebox Touch Polk audio RTi 6 fronts, Rears Dayton B652 Polk Audio CS10 center Monoprice 12" sub Panamax M5300-EX

Sorry I had to miss the finish of this one. I left for a birding trip after about 10 laps.

Shake up in the Red Bull camp, Gasley out Albon in.

Well, Well the prancing pony got one right (barely). A good first win for Charles and I was more impressed with Vettel willingly playing 2nd fiddle to protect his teammate. Hamilton is becoming the Tiger Woods of F1(any event he's in he can win) Hopefully he will not fall off like Woods. Albon showed he can play like the big boys, the move he pulled on Ricarrdo was right out of Ricarrdo's playbook. Gasley even made a case for himself to stay in F1. Now for the 500 pound gorilla, Max V! bad luck or bad choice he should know that its better to stay in the race than to push a bad position, lucky the stewards just let it slide this time.
As for bad luck, that award has to go to Norris, DNF on last lap of race. HAAS did what they always do, If not for Williams they would be last on the grid at the end of the race.Family Room HT 7.2/i]:Vizio Oled55h1 Pioneer Elite SC-LX502 Pioneer Elite BDP 85FD Eversolo DMP A6 Panamax M5300-EXSpeakers Fronts Fluance XF8L Center Polk Audio S35 Side Surrounds Optimus LS30's Rear Surrounds Optimus LS30's Subs SVS PB4000 x2 Living room 2ch: Crown Xli 1500 amp Teac EQ MKII FX Audio X6 Mk II DAC Squeezebox Touch Fluance Signature Tower Speakers Panamax M5100-EXOffice media room:Vizio M50Q6 50" Pioneer Elite VSX LX103 Squeezebox Touch Polkaudio R50 Towers Polkaudio CS 10 Panamax M4300 Monoprice 12" subMaster bedroom:Vizio M55Q7 Pioneer Elite VSX LX302 Pioneer Elite BDP 85FD Squeezebox Touch Polk audio RTi 6 fronts, Rears Dayton B652 Polk Audio CS10 center Monoprice 12" sub Panamax M5300-EX -

The race wasn't much less of one. Happy for Chuck but man...Seb is losing his **** left and right. I fully expected a radio transmission of him asking why he was penalized...I mean he can't be expected to *safely* re-enter the course EVERY time can he?!?! /sarcasm"Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

One more 1,2 finish for Mercedes and its a wrap for the constructors championship. I think Hamilton can end the chase by COTA and then all the talk will be about why HAAS kept Grosjohn for another year, SMH. Redbull has seemed to found a co-driver for Max, Albon is driving like his life depended on it. Norris could be #1 over at Mclaren next year, Hulkenburg may have to settle for a Williams seat if he wants to stay in F1, but I think Haas really blew it by not replacing Grosjohn with Hulkenburg. Hulk is consistence in the mid field and with K Mag able to turn a hot lap in qualifiying could have put them back in the best of the rest fight again as predicted this year.Family Room HT 7.2/i]:Vizio Oled55h1 Pioneer Elite SC-LX502 Pioneer Elite BDP 85FD Eversolo DMP A6 Panamax M5300-EXSpeakers Fronts Fluance XF8L Center Polk Audio S35 Side Surrounds Optimus LS30's Rear Surrounds Optimus LS30's Subs SVS PB4000 x2 Living room 2ch: Crown Xli 1500 amp Teac EQ MKII FX Audio X6 Mk II DAC Squeezebox Touch Fluance Signature Tower Speakers Panamax M5100-EXOffice media room:Vizio M50Q6 50" Pioneer Elite VSX LX103 Squeezebox Touch Polkaudio R50 Towers Polkaudio CS 10 Panamax M4300 Monoprice 12" subMaster bedroom:Vizio M55Q7 Pioneer Elite VSX LX302 Pioneer Elite BDP 85FD Squeezebox Touch Polk audio RTi 6 fronts, Rears Dayton B652 Polk Audio CS10 center Monoprice 12" sub Panamax M5300-EX

When these discussions about the best F1 drivers arise, always makes me wonder what Senna would have been able to attain. Grew up watching him, Nigel and Prost. Those were the days.

At his current status he will be apart of any conversation of G.O.A.T, if he passes Schumacher (total championships) their will only be one topic, Hamilton G.O.A.T period. I feel next year will be his best chance to match Schumacher before the rules changes in 2021.
Hamilton has enter into the status of Manchester United, New Zealand All Blacks, Tiger Woods, Muhammed Ali, Serena Williams, LA Lakers, NY Yankees or any other individual or team that has a chance to win it all just because they are there.Family Room HT 7.2/i]:Vizio Oled55h1 Pioneer Elite SC-LX502 Pioneer Elite BDP 85FD Eversolo DMP A6 Panamax M5300-EXSpeakers Fronts Fluance XF8L Center Polk Audio S35 Side Surrounds Optimus LS30's Rear Surrounds Optimus LS30's Subs SVS PB4000 x2 Living room 2ch: Crown Xli 1500 amp Teac EQ MKII FX Audio X6 Mk II DAC Squeezebox Touch Fluance Signature Tower Speakers Panamax M5100-EXOffice media room:Vizio M50Q6 50" Pioneer Elite VSX LX103 Squeezebox Touch Polkaudio R50 Towers Polkaudio CS 10 Panamax M4300 Monoprice 12" subMaster bedroom:Vizio M55Q7 Pioneer Elite VSX LX302 Pioneer Elite BDP 85FD Squeezebox Touch Polk audio RTi 6 fronts, Rears Dayton B652 Polk Audio CS10 center Monoprice 12" sub Panamax M5300-EX -
I agree Joe about Senna. We will never know what he could of done if he had lived as far as championships.
As far as talent, I believe he was among the best of all time including the present day drivers.
