This is abject nonsense. The RB is, and has always been, a brilliant handling car; it is after all a ‘child’ of Newey’s.

The issue has been until the last month or so a lack of hp, which has now been rectified by Honda. At this point in time, and certainly at the H’ring, the RB was equal to, and probably faster than the MB. Look at the lap times for qualifying and when both cars were on equal tyres of approximately the same age.

What we saw today was a brilliant strategy by MB that RB failed to match quickly, and a drive by Hamilton who is without a doubt the F1 GOAT. To deny that beggars belief.

However, Max drove a great race and he is maturing quickly. He, along with LeClerc; Norris; Russel, etc are the future of F1 for sure, and Max will be a future many time WDC for sure, unless he makes career choices like Alonso.

A great race!
so Bish, have you considered decaf?
