Let's hope for the same start to the race as the last one with the exception that Max escapes this time.

LOL at Max when asked during post quali interviews about race start tomorrow...”I just don’t want to be sandwiched.”

Amazing pics! Going to be the circuit for the race...hope the rains stay away.

It was refreshing to see Max finally finish a race. Well deserved win for him and even more special that his first win of the season fell on his birthday weekend!

EdM5 · 10-01-2017, 06:46 AM

Great and easy looking win for Max!
Great recovery from Seb. And terrible luck for Kimi.

What's wrong with Bottas though? No pace...

Happy birthday MAX !

Nice win for max. Ferrari was probably the fastest car though.

Looks like Lewis will take the championship.

hellrotm · 10-01-2017, 01:06 PM

Bottas admitting he hasn’t been driving up to the potential of the car. He has left points on the table all season. Starting with poor quali results, then sub par race results.

He is being a little hard on himself, but it is true.

Quote:

“For sure it is difficult,” said Bottas. “Being honest, it may be the most difficult time of my career so far, in terms of how it feels every time I go in the car.”

“I just want to perform. I want to be in a good level and I haven’t been doing that for some time for various reasons. There are many question marks still for me, for the team. So I definitely want to turn it around quickly.”

“If I keep doing races like this for long, that is not going to be a good thing for anyone. So, the team needs the points. I need the points, I want the points.”

“I want to do much better than this, so definitely I want to turn it around quickly – and we need to do whatever is needed to do it, but like I said - many, many question marks.”

It's a box to be checked...

Consider it checked. lol

shay2nak · 10-03-2017, 01:24 AM

Awesome pics!

Great race. The start was close to the last one with Kimi out and Vettel almost out. Gotta give it to him though, last to 4th. Not the first time he's done that. Something wrong with Hamilton's KERS?
