Very exciting finish to today's GP...

I have to think that if it was the #6 Silver Arrow instead of the #77, Brittany would have submarined Vettel on the final lap or two and either gotten passed him or taken them both out leaving Hamilton a clear path for the win.

I admire Bottas' restraint and skill, but he doesn't have the killer instinct of a champion.

I also think there is too much engineering strategy. When it became that Seb was going to pretty much have to take his tires to the terminal point, they should have gone into party mode and driven the tires off the Silver Arrows to really apply pressure for more than the last lap. If Bottas was in DRS range at lap 47, it would have been a very different out-come. Seb is a great driver, but at some point he would have lost grip into one of the turns and it would have been 1,2 for Merc.

Hats off to Pierre Gasly. Drive of a lifetime. How 'bout them Hondas!
