Does anyone know what the hell are those stuff that Angela carries on around the padock. Never saw Lewis use anything from that bag. I think last year she had one, but now she has TWO!
He seems to be the only one who has somebody carrying what appears to be an excessive amount of stuff around.

I get their trainers or whoever carry stuff around for them, reflex training things, clothing stuff etc. But it just seems too much stuff.

Maybe his scooter is in one of the bags. And his dog in the other? 😆

Great race. Lewis is incredible - slower car today, much older tyres, and he managed to fight off Verstappen. He had no right to win but he did.

He just gets everything out of the car, every sector in every lap, every race. As a pure racer he's unmatched I think.

That said, I still think Red Bull are going to win several races this season - much more than previously. It was an amazing performance to get the win today, but it has rather papered over the cracks. The reality is Mercedes are struggling for downforce and many circuits are flatout not going to suit them at all this season.

Hopefully this extremely tight battle between Mercedes and Red Bull means both teams have to keep developing their 2021 cars much later into the season than they would ideally want to. And thus mean they take attention away from developing their 2022 cars, so hopefully other teams will be able to catch up for next year - though that is if the midfield teams aren't all having to do same development to try and get P3 in the Championship.

I just want more than a top 2 teams next year. McLaren are closer this year, but Norris was still a pit stop+ behind Bottas.

I get the feeling Valtteri is starting to get really frustrated playing second driver. Did he kneel before the national anthem? I thought I saw him standing but I could be wrong. I know others don't kneel, but I think it really says something if he didn't when Lewis is his teammate (not saying he is racist or anything).
Did everyone else catch Valtteri having a word to Toto during the Mercedes celebration photos? Toto looked to say something quite stern to him.

Yeah I totally agree. One of the commentators said that he was being used as a pawn in races, which is ouch, but true. There's no way you want to get to F1 in the best car (well best until this year possibly) and not fight for anything.

No, he didn't kneel. He did last season though....mind games maybe? I don't know. He does seem frustrated, yet again it was his pit stop that they messed up! It looked like he and Toto were having words and they were late to the photos being taken. I'd love to know what was said!

I agree, i think he reached his limit.

IMO that kneeling was a tragic idea, they should drop the pr guy that came up with it. This is an international sport, they should care about other countries traditions.

Could be minds games! I've heard lots of people talking about how Lewis plays mind games with his team mates so maybe Valtteri has started to. So interesting that he didn't kneel though especially when he did all last year. I wonder how Lewis feels about it all.
I would love to know what he and Toto were talking about too! This is going to be a spicy season.

I do not like Rosberg at all, but the games he and Lewis played when R won, was crazy entertaining. Like two toddlers, but it worked. I can only see Alonso being able to keep up with this kind of fuckery.
