2019 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand PrixFormula 1

[-Fred-]

Leclerc is clearly faster than Vettel...

 

[PzR Slim]

Leclerc called off?

 

[jake2013guy]

Croft talking about his campaign to remove blue flags. When there's a train of cars at Monaco, he'd call for the opposite.

 

[McLaren]

Wouldn't be surprised if they keep Vettel in front just so it gives him more points.

Epic comment from Bottas: 26 points

 

[PaMu1337]

Haha Bottas going for the 26 points

 

[05XR8]

Calm down, Bottas. You need to first finish...

Edit: Commentator saying, "Aww, Leclerc just lost one second on that last lap. Just a bit too much to catch Vettel." Riiiiiiight.

 

[Tak[TEC]]

**** Ferrari if he was told to hold position in the first ****ing race of the year

 

[-Fred-]

Leclerc called off?

Binotti probably said it's enough.

Verstappen with the fastest lap

 

[Jezza819]

Max with the fastest lap.

 

[05XR8]

THat was fast.

 

[BrainsBush]

Bottas turned up engine to quali mode to get the fastest lap. Everything for that extra point 👍

The gap with the Ferrari's

Ok first race in RedBull but expected more fireworks from Gasly. Not a single serious attack on Kvyat

Stroll

 

[-Fred-]

Bottas claims back fastest lap. Pierre Gasly is ****, too bad for RBR

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Fair play to Bottas, superb race from him. 👍

 

[McLaren]

Nice job Bottas!

Max's little cut through the grass bit him a bit. Might have been worth it to make the move on Lewis quicker before Lewis decided he was gonna push it for the fastest lap point.

 

[Betty blue]

*This fastest lap point is ridiculous because top 3 teams can take it easily considering their advantage as we seen.

*Ferrari are stupid for not pitting Leclerc and go for that point.

 

[andrea]

Phenomenal win for Bottas, well done!

 

[jake2013guy]

Pierre Gasly is ****

You're basing this on one race? Really?

 

[PzR Slim]

How did Bottas only get 28% of vote for Driver of the Day!. Head and shoulders above anyone today.

 

[andrea]

Honda with a podium. YESSSSS

 

[TenEightyOne]

The gap with the Ferrari's

They had reasonably similar pace to the Mercs, judging by Leclerc's laps at the end of the race. Vettel was slow and Leclerc became limited to his pace. They ended up further adrift than they should have been.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Really good race overall, good battles up and down the field, some good talking points too.

 

[PzR Slim]

Bottas looks v emotional.

You're basing this on one race? Really?

We'll see how the season goes, but being unable to pass the Junior team isn't a good look...

 

[jake2013guy]

We'll see how the season goes, but being unable to pass the Junior team isn't a good look...

On a track where passing is difficult. In cars which are difficult to pass against a car which didn't have issues.

 

[PzR Slim]

Feel incredibly sorry for Leclerc.

 

[Slapped]

Bottas - what an incredible "**** you" performance.

I for one hope he continues to stick his middle finger up to everyone and storms the championship - it's long overdue for him and not his fault.

 

[Lizard]

Bottas that was great.
Hamilton, meh.
Vettel, meh.
Leclerc. Not the best but not awful. Shame he wasn't allowed past Vettel.
Noris. Good job for what it was.
Gasly. That was embarrassing mate. You couldn't get past a slower car with much older tyres.
Ricciardo. Unlucky mate. That was unlucky he was barely off the road.
Haas still can't fit wheels.
Verstappen, decent drive. Showed some good pace.

 

[Jezza819]

Once again you can't make any assumptions after winter testing.

 

[05XR8]

Don't see a problem with Gasly. May be out of the points, but finishing his first race unscathed, is better than crashing making a rookie mistake, trying to pass.
