    Bottas really needs to just go for this

    Gotta make the easy win seem as difficult as possible. It's always a "challenging" race with various "issues" for Hamilton when realistically we all know before a race weekend even starts that he's highly likely to win the race.

    Or maybe he panicked when he didn’t need to.

    Some really sad people here.

    I think that Bottas has accepted being number 2 in the team.
    I have given up on him.

    Thank God for Max, not much else of interest in F1 these days.
    I think he has a real chance of second.

    He always has to overcome some variation of adversity..

    Doesn't seem like the type to panic, never mind on a weekly basis.

    You’ve never heard him panic when he thinks the car is losing power, ever?

    The enjoyment of F1 the last several years hinges on who is the second Merc driver. Unfortunately Bottas is not at the level he needs to be to challenge Hamilton. He's never even layed a glove on him.

    I'm sure I have but F1 drivers in general don't seem to panic too easy.




    Awful stop from Ferrari with LeClerc, any reason for 5+ second stop? What is going on with the team.

    They were making some adjustment to the car, but can't tell him what or why until later apparently. They don't want to compromise that last running spot.

    I don’t expect any position changes, passing or pit stops in the top 6.
    This is it bar mechanical failure.

    Sad to see :(

    It feels as if everyone wants to pit but won't because their rivals would stay out. Nobody has a good enough window.

    This too shall pass.

    Starting to get so boring. No one can come close to Mercedes and Ferrari are now Williams standard. On top of that, Mercedes seem determined to keep Bottas in the only car capable of competing. All we can hope for is that Maxs talent gives him a shot once every 6 or so races or Lewis's car breaks. I'm really starting to lose interest in a sport I love, especially knowing that next year will be the same.

    So boring. So predictable. So repetitive. It’s actually cringey listening to the commentators trying to make things seem interesting.

    In fairness they have to do something to try make it seem interesting

    Jaysus that was dull. When was the last good race at this track? Any in the hybrid era? Good to see Renault going better at least.

    Such a pity Gasly couldn't get a feel for the Red Bull car like he has with the Alpha Tauri. Great race from him today.

    The Tifosi aren't allowed into Monza but they might well surround the track in protest to this. Some heads are going to roll after this.

    This too shall pass.
