A very well deserved win for Charles, if Ferrari can keep it together Leclerc is a very likeable man on a mission at the moment. Trouble is you know at some point there will be another big cock up but then thats Ferrari and Formula1 got to love the Italians.

Interesting to see Adrian Newey on the podium... surely Red Bull don't think that's the last win for a while, what with the regulation changes in Spa...

Couldn't agree with you more. They really, really need a better team on the pit wall. Even I could see that hard tyres at that point in the race were as good as saying, we don't want to win. I understand the thought that it might have rained but the best way to go was surely soft, medium then soft. Hey hobbled themselves from the start with two sets of mediums. Good job they now have a hioliday but they have really screwed Charles' chance of a shot at the championship for this year. Now, what about Alonso going to AM, I didn't see that comming, any good reason for the move, he can't want any more money and he is going to get really bored touring around at the tail end of the pack. Remember the famous deck chair scene whilst he was at Mclaren.


Here for a good time not a long time!!

Yes they have started to show signs of delivering daft errors but some have been from Charles who is clearly seriously committed to making it a success. I admire both of their drivers and the teams efforts this year. It takes a lot to turn a team around at that level.

I agree re the hard tyres. I was half expecting the strategist to be installed as part of the safety fence after that one.

I think the driving of Lewis, Verstappen and young George was great during that race. AMG have definitely improved significantly during the season, the sign of real pro's in the factory.

I do not get the Alonso move. Unless his pay includes shares in the team just prior to it being sold off (again) to the Saudi's alongside the car factory. I guess he can bring a lot to help raise the overall levels in the track side and development teams as he is a smart cookie.

Great season after the last few years.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

In a sport where a tenth of a second per lap is key Benito said the tyres would have made little difference or words to that effect. All the pundits and drivers disagree so Benito must be right Oh his star driver is also wrong you can't make these things up really. As for Alonso he needs to buy Vettel a big drink Aston was the only place open to him, it will be interesting to see Fernando and daddy Stroll lock horns. Mercedes are getting their act together after the summer brake it could turn out to be a corker of a season.
