If that was directed at me, sorry about posting a bit of qualifying play-by-play.

shit. why could that flat not have come 15 second earlier for Hamilton.

If Max didn't need to come in they cost themselves the race

 

He didn’t think he had a chance to catch Hamilton. Wanted to pick up an extra point for fastest lap. Which worked. Hindsight’s a bitch.

Horner stated Max’s tires had “cuts”. Maybe tears? Could’ve happened to him, too.

I rewatched the last 3 laps.

Bottas happened on lap 50 (of 52), then came in to pit at start of 51. Max pit at about the same time. They could have pit Lewis at the start of the final lap, but they had just finished pitting Bottas and the team radio indicated to just protect the car in general, not that they were expecting anything.

Crazy finish, though.

Oh I get that. But I think when they saw what happened to Bottas, since the cars are so similar, I would have then hung in to see what happens to Hamilton

Was Bottas pushing Hamilton during the race? If so, he might have cost the team an easy 1 - 2.

It didn't seem like it to me. The top-3 were in their own zone.

Max pitted right after though, right?

Hamilton has Brady qualities.  No matter what happens, he just wins.  Delivers when he needs to deliver. 

Gets beaten by Bottas all weekend?  No problem, take pole in Q3.

But unlike Brady, Hamilton is corny as fuck.

 

Lewis Hamilton @LewisHamilton · 21h I made plenty of mistakes out there today, this one was visible and I wanted to show you. The mistakes are where I learn the most, about myself, the car, my emotions. It’s not how you fall, it’s how you get back up and fight! If I can do it, so can you. #NeverGiveUp

 

He's spoken with this artificially constructed PRspeak for so long ,I bet he's lost his real voice.

Yes, that was just in response to saying that he could have won if he stayed out. Yeah, it is possible, but his tires likely had issues as well.

 

It’s possible there was debris (Kimi?).

I guess next week is a two stopper considering that today's yellow is next week's white.

Pretty sure only the softs are changing to C4. Should be C1, 2, and 4.

 

Edit: I was wrong. C2, 3, and 4 it is. I do wonder did they change that, though.
