No more party mode, MERC still rules. The thug Vettel couldn't even get out of Q1. Good qualy for Carlos and Checo
People still watching? I haven't seen a race since the Austrian GP. Merc can start a lap down and still win the race.

Poor Seb and for that matter, Poor Sainz, what a performance!
I hate the gaming for the tow. Also Ocon gets the scumbag of the weekend award. What a dick.

Just ignore the top 3 and watch the midfield, as the cameras do. Top two almost never get any screen time unless Lewis gives us false hope by saying he is down power.

Merc didn’t win
What a race. Gasly gets his first win, good podium for Sainz and Stroll.
HAM was dominating, penalty lost him almost 30 seconds. Nice comeback for damage limitation. Bottas was nowhere.
Zero points for RB and Ferrari, Leclerc driving is just getting worse. Gasly may take Albons seat next year.
It was fun watching Hamilton fight his way through the pack, and I'm a fan of the lack of engine modes.
I can see how this race will be used as an argument for the reverse grid discussion. Lots of good racing and it's great seeing different manufacturers running in the top 5.
Say what you want about Hamilton, but not many drivers could get from the end of the pack to #7 in that few laps. Hammertime at it's best. I don't know what's with Bottas today. He seemed out of it completely.
How would points be awarded? Same amount on qualifying race, more on qualifying race, what is the qualifying race? Base it on reverse of manufacturing standing from previous year?
I dunno, yeah its more interesting in some respects but the idea of starting someone better from the back, just because they cant fix on track racing/passing, does not appeal to me.
Can't take it anymore. Huge opportunity to gain points on Ham and Bottas is no where to be found again.
On another note, Lewis and Max are regarded by most as the top two drivers currently. If Ham wants to be known as the top athlete/driver/competitor of all time, and put to rest all the talk about the fact that he's in the best car, should he request Max as his next team mate, and then beat him? This could also provide Merc with a lot of press and air time, spice up the racing, and boost F1.

I really don't know, I just know it's been brought up and the announcers mentioned it a couple times this year during races. I'd imagine they would have to award points for passing in addition to final grid position? You can't really afford to have Hamilton score 0 points in a race at Monaco because he qualified 1st, started last, then got stuck behind a train of cars for 35 laps and ends up P11...
I think you'd also end up with qualifying being a bit of a joke, because nobody would want to qualify P1 unless there were a substantial amount of points given for that, to be penalized with starting the race in last place.
And I agree with you, I'd much rather they find a way to make the racing better for everyone on the grid (and better for viewers). I feel like the push for a "greener" racing (hybrid) has killed any chance of fun racing honestly, because only select teams can afford these stupid PUs in addition to building the rest of the car. Bring back a turbo V8/V10, ditch the ERS, limit aero complexity, and I feel like we'd be more likely to see a season with more than 2 possible championship caliber cars.
Talk to the guys at MotoGP and follow their formula, because that racing is fantastic this year again.
I would love to see driver's trying other cars. Put Hamilton and Vettel in a Williams. LeClerc and Max in a Renault, Ricc and Bottas in the Ferrari, etc... Let them duke it out at Suzuka. I'd buy that on Pay-Per-View
