The burgundy Ferrari

Resembles more of a turd now. Appears they’re not as brave as Mercedes in making the whole crew dress up too.

Those German engines, that are still designed and built in the UK?

You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in [a] gravel [trap].

I was meaning the road cars, we all know the Aston F1 team will be nothing more than a name.

And an expensive marketing exercise. Which brings on a question- who’s going to go bust first? Aston Martin F1 or Aston Martin road cars?

It’s all owned by the Stroll consortium and he’s in F1 anyway so maybe not as ruinously expensive as it appears - he can use his hobby to advertise the road car business. Compare to the previous situation where Aston Martin, already on the brink of bankruptcy decided to throw money at Red Bull anyway for sponsorship...

Good smashes so far, and good that everyone is 99.9% OK!

That was a pretty poor restart from Bottas...

Crazy shizzle so far.
Let see if LH can replicate Bottas’ mugging on the restart

I'm sure that's how his team would have told him to do it, make the straight as short as possible to avoid getting mugged.
He didn't get overtaken, so surely it's a good restart from his point of view?

Hmm, I’ve never seen that before though, not even at Monza has Hamilton or anyone else ever done such a thing.

Nothing wrong with that? It's been interesting at least. Bottas ftw.

I don’t mind myself, means the usual suspects who always make a
mistake and run off the track can’t just rejoin the race - how it should be.
Gutted Ricciardo didn’t get that podium and tattoo.
Bottas outclassed again, poor chap didn’t even hang on to the fastest lap.
