I’m a big Williams fan so I was really happy for them beating out Ferrari in Qualifying and that Massa was the only one at the end of Q3 to improve his time. To see them tear off and spoil the Merc’s race was amazing. Then the whole team orders or will they allow them to race question to have them answer with RACE, but safely, was exciting! Claire’s face later on in the race when Bottas passed Nico was great too! They’re giving teams who spend double the business because they’re awesome.
I know it's a lot different but in the games when you're running a dry setup and it rains with slicks forget even trying to keep it on track. I'm really surprised more people didn't squirt off. I think that’s why Kimi came in WAY to early. He was tip toeing around the wet section of the track and got passed by Vettel, if I remember correctly. You could definitely see the black clouds rolling in. Not sure if you know or have watched the coverage yet but when the rain began it was only on one section of the track - probably where you were sitting. Then later on it hit the entire track. That’s why people stayed out on slicks so long. Some actually pit for slicks only to have to return for inters a few laps later. Then the sun came back out.
Lewis did play it perfect. He radioed in that the rain had stopped further into the lap and realized it was only at one or two turns right away. Then got communication that the first shower was passing and another one was a few minutes behind it. Amazing to watch.
Summer break is always a bummer. Yeah, Hungary is a great track but not in terms of spectators or much excitement. I also love Spa and your right tracks like Silverstone, Monza, Spa and Suzuka all have the insane speed and are brutally unforgiving if you make the smallest mistake.
