Hamilton didn't even know it was the last lap. Isn't the team supposed to tell him this stuff?
 
Superior dominant victory of Hamilton. Gap with Max 23 secs (ouch...) Nothing more in the RB16 today. But #2 thanks to a poop start of Bottas.
Midfield race was enjoyable.

Up to Spa!

So, preemptively typing this because I doubt the order is going to change significantly over the next 4 laps.

Hamilton: Once again, drove a masterclass of a race and took the win. I'm not gonna say it's easy for him, because it's not easy to drive these cars, but he does make it look that way. At this point it's his championship to lose.

Verstappen: Also drove a solid race and was able to keep it together for an excellent 2nd place. That being said, it'd be great if his car was as fast as the Merc. I do think Max has the ability to challenge Hamilton, he just needs a good enough ride.

Bottas: Ughhhhhh, you're making it hard for me to root for you man! Had a really bad start and seemed to make no real effort to close the gap. Should've finished at least 2nd.

RP: Just gonna mash Perez & Stroll together, because both drove pretty similar races. Good effort for both, really solidifying that they have the 3rd-best car this season.

Mclaren: Meh. Sainz battling Albon was cool, but nothing really noteworthy for them. Good double-points finish today.

Albon: Dude...I don't get how he got held up by a McLaren. Again, I wanna root for you, but....damn.

Vettel: Solid finish, was left out to dry by his team. Nothing else to say, really. Only real contender for driver of the day, imo.

Biggest loser: The fans. While I'm normally just happy to watch racing, and I'm enjoying watching Mercedes smash the record books every round, even I have to admit that this was a complete snoozer of a race, all the way up-and-down the grid. Not even the midfield produced that much action, which is unusual.

It's not the first time that's happened this season, I'm guessing he's so used to people standing up in the grandstands he doesn't actually look for the flag!
 
i miss the v8 era when we had at least two different teams battling for the win . this hybrid era has been a total failure

In other news, shoutouts to Valtteri Bottas for being on course to finish third in a two-horse race. Nico Rosberg looks more and more legit by the day.
 
I want Verstappen to pick up that trophy and leave.
 
Nico Rosberg, aggressivity is not a word.
 
Proof that this track sucks big sweaty balls. Get this **** off the calendar already.
 
I didn't see Kvyat blue flag incident, but Perez's penalty seemed a bit over the top. Nobody was close to Hamilton? at that point.

Did he hold him up beforehand?

Its a set penalty for that offense
 
Lads I’m calling it, Spa will be Vettel’s last race in a Ferrari.

If the grid rumours are true that's indeed his last race for Ferrari. His move to Aston Martin but a year later then we think/expect?
