Lewis with the dickhead inside drift with no traction to take out Perez. Checo left plenty of space but Hamilton couldn't hold his line.

 

And WhyTF were the talking heads saying he was innocent? Wow

 

Yay. Due to the rain delay I only got to see a few laps before my recording ended. I'll leave it up to you guys to comment on the shenanigans.

 

It seemed as though the unsafe releases didn’t get much attention, Gasley and Charles…

 

Just watched the post sprint show and Will Buxton was defending Ham to the end, even after Sam did an analysis showing Ham getting on the curb and losing traction sliding into Perez.

I understand ‘racing incident’ can be called upon in certain circumstances, however if you take another driver out of the race it’s very different compared to just making them lose a position or two, I feel a 5 second penalty is not harsh.

In other news… Piastri is proving to be a competitive seat against Lando…. All good for McLaren!

 

British Sky Sports Lewis fallatio.

If you can't make the move inside without sliding into the side of the car you are passing, then the move was never there.

 

British bias at its worst. Will is still talking smack in the pre race show

 

Great race, I love Spa. always a battle going on, fast corners, great passing. Well except for Piastri.

I never knew….

 

Horner used to race too. But wasn't close to being good enough for F1

I knew that it was more the fact he’s racing in RedBull colours.

 

Reminder of one of the best sounding F1 engines ever. pump up that volume.

Just watching 2018 COTA and Lance crashes into Alonso and Alonso goes on to say it’s impossible to race with these guys (Lance) they can’t go into a corner without crashing

 

If Lance Slow were anywhere else he would be out of F1. I would have ranked him 19 below Sarent but 18 is close enough.

And they aren't too far off the mark about Perez either. Maybe Riciardo does have a shot. Its a long one though.

Sainz can be a full diaper, but behind Guanyu? Really? No. Wrong.

 

Ocon 9th?

Hmmmm. Maybe
