They've got Rachel Brooks in the pit lane performing a rain dance.

Wonder if Pirelli have under egged the wear on this week's compound tyres. Softs seem to be quite durable..

I wish they'd kept with the exploding tyres they had at Silverstone a few years back.

Max pushes everything to as far as he can get away with.

Great day for Mercedes

Red Bull including Max sound bored as fuck even after winning.

Glad I skipped this one other than catching the last 10 laps.

It still bothers me Verstappen’s first f1 title!

Saying that Verstappen is one hell of a driver, glad Mercedes car is edging towards Redbull but be next season before they can real challenge and it will depends if Hamiltons edge be still there and if Russel can REALLY step up when the car is on a par to Redbull

Me too.

Great driver. **** attitude. But it works. That first title given to him by Masi will always rankle with me.

Hopefully the Mercedes result and general improvement this weekend isn't a flash in the pan.

Good of F1 to bring a bit of reality to the weekend. Had had far too much fun than was good for me till this afternoon. This is not going to be a classic season is it.

Feel sorry for Brundle, the celebs need f*cking off.

I don't,.Especially after his Chinaman quote. I mean is he really that fuckin thick.

Maybe he's a part time cricketer?

Am I missing something here ? He called a Chinese driver a Chinaman and you’re offended ?

Welcome to the 21st century.

I thought it was just me who picked up on that.

It was clearly a slip of the tongue and he meant nothing offensive at all by it but at the time I did think eek...can't really say that these days!

Welcome to the 21st century.

It's because historically it was used as a derogative term, and has racist connotations. Same as how Jap, Paki are all proper linguistic terms, but because of their history are considered racist

But, as far as I am aware, it wasn't used in a racist context this time.


Open to correction here.

That's how I read it.
My guess would be that MB realised what he had said, hence referring to the Japanese man in the next breath.
It's easy to make a mistake when you have to do commentary.
