I noticed all year long. When teammates are close to each other. The #2 driver always has a longer pitstop than the #1 driver.
Guess that is one way to keep from using team orders on the track.

This has actually been a really exciting race as long as you’re not a LEC fan. New RB power units look very strong, giving 6 cars a shot at the podium, and midfield has been really tight too.

Probably the final nail in the coffin for Charles’ championship challenge. Feels like in points and mentally, Max locked it up today

Verstappen comes from way back and takes the win. Hamilton had a great drive and he might be closer to being all the way back. Hamilton takes Second followed by Russell for Third, and Sainz was Fourth. Leclerc just sucked again.

Congrats to Hank for taking the Race Points total and retaking the competition lead. ckhokie and 43 tied for Second. Getting skunked just plain sucks!

And of course, the Schoompster has us all right where he wants us! lol.

Leclerc effed-things-up again and killed several of our finishing orders. I have no idea what happened to Sainz either. Right now Ferrari is the ultimate poser. Telling everyone they have awesome cars and then fading away nearly every week. Hamilton and Verstappen were clearly sandbagging their reports on the status of their cars. Another podium finish for both.

Remember, the next race is not until the end of August. So, we all have a month off. Next race is the Belgium Grand Prix and I shall see everyone then!

I can see Retro looking in his mirrors.
That means he is getting nervous of the ol' Schmoopster making his move!

Hopefully Ferrari can find new strategists during the break. I really thought they would pull it together this time.

but we will see.

5 podiums in a row for Lewis now. Talk about Mr Consistency.

Just too bad his DRS fucked up in Q3 last run yesterday.

Another 2-3 is good enough for a Panzerwagon victory lap.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I had the top 4 but had 1-4 swapped.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep Hank. You were real close to the Sweep!!
