I don't know if I will watch the race live, it will be maybe too early here in Europe.

Might be able to record it if you have cable tv to watch it later.

Yes it will be too early in Europe as it will be in 6 or 7 am of the morning.Only real Formula 1 fans wake up at that hour to watch their preferred racing sport.

It will be impossible if you work around that hour though, so congrats for you. On the other side, Asian fans will be happy to watch it because they don't have to stay at night.

Lewis is back on the first podium!
Again a disastrous strategy from Ferrari... And Leclerc whining from the start of the race because Vettel wasn't go slow so as Leclerc can overtake. Such an unprofessional behavior from him.

Well very interesting comment thank you, but he would be more interesting if you've posted results...

Grand Prix Results 2019 | Russia

1 Lewis Hamilton Mercedes 1:33:38.992

2 Valtteri Bottas Mercedes +3.829s

3 Charles Leclerc Ferrari +5.212s

4 Max Verstappen Red Bull Racing Honda +14.210s

5 Alexander Albon Red Bull Racing Honda +38.348s

6 Carlos Sainz McLaren Renault +45.889s

7 Sergio Perez Racing Point BWT Mercedes +48.728s

Sorry mate. That was my bad. Next time I am going to post them.
In addition, it was a great performance from Alexander Albon which started from the pitlane and finished on the 5th place.

I am sorry for Ferrari as they were beaten by race happenings like the Safety Car otherwise they would have won the race.Again Mercedes did a great job but they were aided by luck but luck can’t be forever by your side.If Ferrari keeps up the good work I think Leclerc will be World Champion next year,this guy did 6 consecutive poles and that is amazing.

Ferrari strategy didn't make sense today. Seb had great start, he was fastest on track and Ferrari still were asking him to pass Charles when Vettel already had 2 seconds advantage. It's pathetic. Why Vettel would need to waste time and do this?.
And Hamilton was very lucky today when he got free pit stop thanks to VSC which let him to return to track in front of Ferrari. In other cicrumstances he wouldn't had any chances to win today.

They asked when he was about 1.5 sec.
The following question is why they asked?

Simpy, The had a deal on the briefing: the deal was, at the start (Since Ferrari is faster than Mercedes on the straight track) for LeCreck to keep the left side of the track, for Vettel to use the halo effect from Leccreck to overtake Hamilton.

Vettel got a boosted start and, Lecrecr did "not close the door" and Vettel not only overtakes Lewis but James too.

Now for the deal, Vettel needed to swap back the position on the best moment possible.

Well was a good race till Safety Car, Mercedes in a 1-2 with an incredible turn of events.

So bored about the track where you can't overtake.
They are building tacks everywhere, how can be bad those architects to build such disaster tracks like this one.

4 Consecutive poles for Leclerc! This guy is amazing.
Hamilton on the second place and he seemed so happy about that.

Indeed, he is doing great now and he have great chance to get win tomorrow. He faster than Mercedes whole weekend.
Sochi is one of the most boring track on calendar, but rain is expected tomorrow and it can make race more interesting.

They are now doing the last session of practice, Ferrari is easy leading, 30 minutes to the end and maybe can rain soon.

The fast pill of the day, Mclaren will leave Renault from 2021 and they will back to Mclaren-Mercedes.

Renault will have no team and they maybe will leave formula 1, if no teams will be interested on their engines.

@coinlocket$ if Ferrari wins it then it’ll be their fourth consecutive victory, and suddenly it’ll put lots of pressure on Mercedes as they’ll realise they’re loosing the grip on their title.

They have too many points on their advantage, they need a disaster for 4 race out of the remaining 6 for risking to lose their title.
Is almost impossible in my opinion.

That's true.
And the saddest part is for Leclerc who is so fast during the second half of the season, getting victories and still it is impossible to compete for the Championship title Hamilton because he is too behind.

While that is in great part true it is not 100% impossible for Leclerc to win the Championship.However for him in order to do so he should win almost every remaining race and hope that some DNF happens to people in front of him.I know in normal conditions this is impossible but in theory it is still possible as long as math permits it.

RedBull and ToroRosso got penalities for changing their engine.
Verstappen seems to fly with this new engine but as said he will lose 5 positions.

For now I see Ferrari favorite also for this Sunday but the weather can be rain on Russia.

I speculate the change would be in preparation for the Japanese grand prix where I predict Max will win hehehe! It will be a Honda advertistment that they are worthy to be in the sport hehe.

You are definitely crazy man! Grin

Hamilton is not going to sign for Ferrari... Never... Mercedes is not going to let that happen.
Leclerc has better performance compared to Vettel this season and I think he should definitely be No1 driver in the team.

Let's see what happens, if he wins the 2020 title he will stay there to trying to beat Schumacher, but if he loses...

Vettel contract will end in 2021.
Hamilton contract will end in 2021.

If he wants to leave Mercedes can do nothing about it.

Use google translate on this https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/formula-1/2019/09/06-60806516/hamilton_apre_alla_ferrari_se_lascio_la_mercedes_/

Ferrari should not renew their contract with Vettle, instead they should try and get Hamilton which will guarantee them the title. Also Mercedes will need an experienced driver to fill in Hamilton shoes they can give a contract to Vettle, this will really make F1 interesting.

Vettel's current contract expires in 2020, he will be replaced by THE Son, Mick Schumacher.

Mick is doing great in Formula 2, and I can't wait to see him in F1

Vettel's cycle is almost ready, and 2020 is a good time to make a substitute in Ferrari.
Mick Schumacher has an amazing performance in Formula 2 and it would be a good addition to the driver's competition. He will probably be a great duo with Leclerc.

How good? Is he as good as Charles Leclerc or Max Verstappen? It might be too early for him. However, he can become the 3rd Ferrari driver or the test driver hehehe. But that would not be the best for him being the son of Michael Schumacher.

@coinlocket$. Lewis should go back to McLaren and help them after all his success hehe.

I think that he is not as good as Charles Leclerc or Max Verstappen, but he is a decent driver to be the second driver of Ferrari or Red bull team.
