Formula-1 2017...!!

Well deserved win for 33 charging hard early knowing he has nothing to loose and smart of Hamilton to take a conservative approach in a car that isn't at its best and with Vettel all the way in the back. Vettel's drive was amazing.

I am surprised quite a bit by the huge margin of how much mercedes is behind red bull.

especially on the high speed straightaway.

not a fan of verstappen but his drive is brilliant, 3 laps down the race and there's only hamilton and him 2 miles away from the batch already.

he must have taken a very very good exit on the last hairpin thus build up the straight line speed on the grandstand, since it's a known fact that renault engine has the least power among the three.

And what a race for vandoorne!! great race.

It's called "sandbagging". Mercedes are so full of it. They know that their cars are much faster than everyone else so they throw a race or two to give the whole spectacle an appearance of fairness.

I really hope something is done to change this in 2018. Or we'll be stuck with Formula E..........I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

ugh.... I could understand when they do that in pre-season or FP1,2 and 3.

but throw in a race or two....

I don't think they will do it until they've at least claimed the CC.

I agree, there is to much at stake for brand recognition. There is no way Mercedes wants Ferrari to be close to them.
