Weirdest qualifying ever. Gonna be interesting tomorrow. Hamilton P2 on the dirty side, Max P3 on the clean side. Gonna be good.

Yup, Lulu sure handled it the difference is Max's retirement wasn't his fault, but Lulu screwed it up all on his own. Max isn't arrogant at all. He's Dutch, and the Dutch don't sugar coat, or mince words. People take it for arrogance, but it's just blunt honesty.Only person who can handle wilderness of Max is Hamilton. Will Leclere be a help? based on today's Max's interview - which I thought it was very arrogant - I hope he crashes out like he used to.
regardless, it will be interesting.
Hahaha good oneMax isn't arrogant at all.
It ain't arrogance if you back it up. Then it's confidence. And he can back up everything he says, as he showed again today. Too bad Pirelli couldn't.Hahaha good one
Yup. My heart sank as the director cut to Max sliding down the straight....I'm completely happy with the results, Max crashing excluded.
Ferrari quietly passed up McLaren in the constructors, Vettel got a podium, Sergio stepped up his game...I am glad Baku happened this year, it's a good track.
Bottas wasn't struggling, he was sacrificed to elevate "sir" Ham's qualifying position. His "mature" tweet was a necessity after Monaco's sincere comments where he blamed the team, and he was just perfect.i'm still catching up on this as I was out on track all weekend long. so no opinion yet. but looks like it was a good race as I heard some highlights. glad to see perez's win, vettle's 2nd, & max's retirement. Also saw Sir. Ham's mature tweet and I'm sure he will bounce back so not worried except bottas is struggling.. more on my opinion & result of score later.
Lewis will bounce back for sure. But I am not sure what to make of Vallteri this year. He looked lost in Imola but I guess we chalk it up to really tricky conditions , has a great result lined up in Monaco until the pit stop issue, again looked horrid in Baku but do we chalk it up to a bad race setup? It's such an overused saying but the next few races are make-or-break for him. Paul Ricard, Austria, Austria, Silverstone, Spa... theoretically all tracks that suit the Merc...i'm still catching up on this as I was out on track all weekend long. so no opinion yet. but looks like it was a good race as I heard some highlights. glad to see perez's win, vettle's 2nd, & max's retirement.

I do not believe Bottas will be resigned with Mercedes...Lewis will bounce back for sure. But I am not sure what to make of Vallteri this year.

That's why he got the job to begin with. They didn't want another Rosberg scenario where drivers were ramming each other off.I do not believe Bottas will be resigned with Mercedes...
He seems to pout when thinks aren't going his way...he seems to just lie down...yes Mercedes do seem to screw him more then not but he just doesn't have that killer instinct that's needed to be a great driver...

Btw..I rooted for Bottas the first few season...
