Perez was not a fan of the bumpy track. Saw he was pretty peeved about it.

Also, apparently the Sky Sports guys were really confused about the XII on Ric’s UT lid

As much as I want to hate on ricardos texas helmet. The dude won me over when they were in Japan. They interviewed a few drivers about what they would do Saturday since all racing was cancelled. Most said they were going to take it easy and prepare. Ricardo is like I'm going to do sake bombs since I have time to recover.

The cars look so slow during the TV broadcasts.

Is Fergie singing the national anthem? What the hell is this?

Interesting anthem rendition. Vettel appeared to be enjoying it though.

Vettel is a fricking liability at this point. He's seemed butthurt for 3 or 4 races, and always has some problem.

I'd be shocked if he was at Ferrari next year.

Leclerc needs to learn how to start better.

I can't remember the last time there was a suspension failure like that. I wonder if his suspension was damaged before the race. That might explain his terrible first laps.

Repaving sections of the track already?

Must have been shitty prep as they can't blame frost heaving down there.

I was wondering the same about the suspension. He kept saying over the radio he thought there was damage somewhere, but didn't think he hit anything.

I'd imagine if it was just the tires, like was being suggested as he dropped places, Vettel would've realized that.

Ferraris can't handle the dry Texas air, I guess.

This is Bottas's race. Cue* the Hamilton whining near the end of the race.




*Queue?

Hamilton is pushing hard to get ahead of Bottas after Bottas's pit, but he's sacrificing grip at the end of the race and it's too easy to pass on the back straight. He has no choice but to do this, but it looks like the two-stopper was the way to go.

His strategic instincts are really bad. He never trusts him team even though they usually are fantastic at strategy.

Remember him basically demanding a pit stop at Monaco from the lead and giving away the win? Greatest driver of his generation but seems to have trust issues.

couldn't beat his own teammate for the WC, who then "retired" from racing because he wasn't a "team player."

Didn't he just go through this at Hungary? He questioned the team for telling him to pit again, and it was the perfect decision.

And Mexico last week.

He needs to drive for Ferrari, where they've never met a bad strategy they weren't willing to take.
