2019 Spanish Grand PrixFormula 1

[Dennisch]

Albon has an engineer straight out of 'Allo 'Allo.

 

[baldgye]

So, this is pretty much how they'll finish it, except Grosjean... who might lose tenth by the end of the race.

Not bad by Spanish GP standards

Nice shot of the rocks there. 👍

That shot rocked

Jesus h. christ....


Remember when we all had optimism for this season? Yea good times

 

[mustafur]

The safety car ruined a potential brilliant strategic battle.

That's how you know this track sucks.

That's all she wrote.

Great drive by Hamilton.

Passable one for Bottas. Was hoping for more after his performance over practice and qualifying.

Fantastic run by Verstappen. Good tactical driving at the start, and just a great run through the race until the end.

Vettel... that lock-up ruined his race... but I can forgive that. He saw an opening and went for it. The rest... Ferrari screwed him and LeClerc over equally in this race.

Gasly. Congratulations. You're driving a car. Time, I think for Red Bull to start looking around.

KMag and Grosjean got cheeky. Team issues aside, KMag has driven an excellent race.

Sainz giving Spain some cheer.

Kyvat didn't get torpedoed today. Thankfully.

Grosjean lucky not to lose tenth.

Nobody else matters.

Kyvat didn't get torpedoed today. Thankfully.

He made the move of the race! Went around the outside of Kimi in T4! Mega move

Remember when we all had optimism for this season? Yea good times

All I remember are your tears /shrug

 

[GTFan24]

Tune in next time for ANOTHER Merc 1-2!

And the next week... and the next week.... and the next week...

Change the record dude. You're more boring than this F1 season

 

[baldgye]

In a few years time, the story from behind the scenes at Ferrari for this season, I’m sure would make for ‘interesting’ viewing

 

[AshenGraey]

Gasly. Congratulations. You're driving a car. Time, I think for Red Bull to start looking around.

That's so true! His performance compared to Max leaves a lot to be desired...I expected a whole lot more from him considering how he performed when he was at Toro Rosso

I think Red Bull need to change their approach to how they take on drivers. Kyvatt almost had his career ended their, they lost Danny and a shining young star is struggling.... if they swapped him for Albon, who’s to say he’d do any better against team max

 

[PaMu1337]

No money left in Barcelona for 3d trophies

 

[FutureF1]

Snooze fest... I don’t mind as much that Mercedes is getting 1-2s. I mind that whoever leads out of T1 is pretty much guaranteed the win in today’s formula. Cut the downforce, give smaller brakes, take away power steering and power brakes, make this a drivers championship. Indycar has it figured out. The best driver on a given day can win no matter where they are on lap 1. All you have to do to win in F1 is get up front and then you can just cruise to an easy victory. What a joke

 

[baldgye]

Wasn’t there going to be a commemoration for the 25th Ann of the death of Ratzenburg and Senna on the podium?

 

[VolkswagenX]

Very exciting race. Red Bull and Ferrari really making Mercedes work for it.

 

[andrea]

Wake me up in 2020.

 

[GTFan24]

Wake me up in 2020.

We'll be dealing with more Mercedes 1-2's in 2020 don't worry about it

 

[Blitz24]

Race was exciting on lap one..... and that's it. All you really need to watch in these races is the opening 20 seconds to pretty much know who will place on the podium.

 

[baldgye]

I do wonder if we’re seeing the cliff of Ferrari’s design concept. Last year we saw them launch this middle ground rake setup car which pulled from both merc and redbull. One generation later and it looks like both redbull and merc have understood and developed their concepts beyond what Ferrari can manage.

Add that to the fact Vettel just isn’t up to driving around the issues and the fact they have a young inexperienced but rapid driver...

It’s a cluster **** of a season but I hope they learn the lessons this time with the new management

 

[Milouse]

French TV just interviewed C. Horner and the journalist didn't even (dare to?) talk about Gasly...

 

[GTFan24]

Oh god i just realized something..


Monaco is next up....


Heaven help us all

 

[Sum1s2pid]

A few decent midfield battles, but damn... so many Ferrari brainfarts.

 

[crooky369]

Toto Wolff -

"We're going to get a 1-2 this afternoon"

EDIT:

1-2 Complete.

Like when @phillkillv2 wants his porridge, Toto gets his 1-2. It's merely a suggestion in his mind and it just happens.

Another season down the pan.

JESUS RAHAL AND ROSSI CHILL:

 

[GroupB]

The broadcasters should each get a penalty point every time they say “Danny Ric”.
Get enough and serve a one-race ban.

 

[Slapped]

That's how you know this track sucks.

No way does this track suck - it's not a street circuit.

It might not be the best of dedicated circuits, but the work suck can really only be appropriately used in conjunction with circuits consisting of cobbled together random city streets.

 

[Slapped]

Passable one for Bottas. Was hoping for more after his performance over practice and qualifying.

I'm coming to the conclusion that it was a unicorn lap. You know, like the one that sits at the top of your GTS leaderboard that's been there for six months, is at least half a second quicker than anything else you've managed, and you've no bloody idea how you did it.

For F1 racing this is worse, I mean Monaco being the exception your getting alot more action at most street circuits compared to Catalunya.
