I can't get over how good the Honda engine is now, the Alonso curse struck again. I was hoping Helmut Marko would have egg on his face (and his one eye) but it's clearly not happening, and it's great for Honda and F1 in general.
I'm not sure Ocon would be much better than Bottas ina support role, but there seems little risk in trying and he's younger so better for the future possibly...
Gasly sealed his fate being mediocre vs Max again. Ricciardo must be starting to question his choices.

As soon as they pitted Hamilton I looked at the amount of laps left, I announced to my wife (who did not care
) as Sir Hamilton exited the pits that Mercedes just won the race, Max would not be able to answer, unless he pits too. Even then that was doubtful. Sir Hamilton seemed to be toying with him all race.
Sky was interviewing Horner at that moment who said they were hoping Sir Hamilton would run out of time.
RBR knew they could not go head to head with Mercedes otherwise they would have covered that stop.
The silver arrow is too fast to deal with. Speaking of which, where the hell did Bottas go? He should be finishing second every race is there is a driver on the grid that has lost their mojo, it is Bottas. Not sure what happened to him.
