Intéressante qualif.....grâce a une poussée de dernière seconde LEWIS a volé la pôle à BOTTAS :) ......so tomorrow we will have the usual séquence HAMILTON--BOTTAS--VERSTAPPEN.....But interesting LECLERC---PEREZ in 4th and 5th....
Not a good day for STROLL avec une 12ème position....sans doute pas encore in good shape......go LEWIS ...c'est un rvous avec l'histoire;).

Magnificent final lap from Lewis to rob Bottas out of a pole position... Once again, Leclerc's performance makes Vettel look real bad.
Perez is also dominating Stroll and it is unfair that he still has not a secure seat for 2021!!
Haas ( Grosjean and Magnussen will not return ), Williams , Red Bull and Alfa Romeo are his options..
40% chance of rain tomorrow :)

Historic day :) LEWIS HAMILTON avec sa 92ème victoire entre dans l'histoire comme étant le meilleur conducteur de formule 1....et c'est tout un exploit ....je ne peux pas imaginer que quelqu'un puisse jamais égaler cette marque BUT who knows..
Course intéressante avec beaucoup de rebondissements du début à la fin.

For me the driver of the day was PEREZ qui --après un accrochage au départ avec VERSTAPPEN---est parti de la 20ème position et à remonter tout le peloton pour terminer 7ème....bravo.
Horrible day again for STROLLo_O .....yep RACING POINT will miss PEREZ next year.

Glad to have witnessed this historical race.. Beautiful scenery in the Algarve region of southern Portugal..
My driver of the day is Sainz, who finished 6th and led the Grand Prix until lap 6..so unexpected!

Hamilton's wins : 92
Prost ( 51 ) and Senna ( 41 ) combined : 92
Incroyable!!!

WELL....Au royaume de FERRARI again total domination MERCEDES....grâce à une belle poussée---dernier lap--BOTTAS a coiffé LEWIS....so it wiil b....BOTTAS---HAMILTON---VERSTAPPEN...and yes GASLY :) en 4ème.
Rien de glorieux pour FERRARI avec LECLERC 7ème et VETTEL 14ème......
Grosse déception chez RACING POINT .....PEREZ 11ème et wow STROLL 15ème....o_O....espérons une belle remontée.

Gasly absolument incroyable... Too bad he was not even considered to replace Albon in 2021.
First race back in Imola, in more than a decade!
Hard not to think of Senna when they're going through Tamburello.. at 300 km/h!
It's been 26 years but I still remember it vividly..
One of my saddest days.

F1 RECORD....7ème championnat consécutif des constructeurs pour MERCEDES 2014--2020...congrats :) ......LEWIS y est pour beaucoup.
Another win today for HAMILTON......BOTTAS vraiment pas chanceux...victime d'un débris sous sa voiture mais termine quand même 2ème.....VERSTAPPEN forcé à l'abandon.
Bravo à RICCIARDO pour une belle et surprenante 3ème place:). Perez à cause d'une mauvaise stratégie de course a malheureusement terminé en 6ème place...quand même bien....STROLL continue sa mauvaise séquence avec une 13ème place et même devancé par LATIFI en 11ème place.
Yep we all remember SENNA....we will never forget...
Next rvous TURQUIE in 2 weeks.

Hamilton shows us all again, why he is amongst the best of all-time... His 7th world championship might be secured, in two weeks in Turkey.
Fans voted for Raikonnen as driver of the day and I agree!!
Second half of the race was entertaining.. Verstappen out with a puncture, and rookie mistakes from Albon and Russell..
Stroll is struggling big time since his COVID diagnosis..
Ricciardo with two podiums in the last 3 races, therefore 4th in the driver's standings..
Poor Bottas... No Finnish driver has ever won in Italy.
Prochain rendez vous dans 2 semaines, en Turquie :)

Mercedez' domination has made watching F1 this season kind of boring. It seems like they're in a totally different league than the other teams. Hamilton, whom i'm no fan of, is a brilliant driver. No question. But personally i believe Max Verstappen could surpass him if they had the same car. The difference between the two Red Bull drivers (Verstappen and Albon) is like night & day but instead of blaming Albon i'm tipping my hat off to Verstappen's superior driving skills.

Stroll has had a tough year. It's obvious that Perez is a slightly better driver than he is. But unfortunately for the very likeable Perez his father doesn't own the team so it means he may very be out of an F1 ride next season with Vettel stepping into his place.

As for Vettel his career is on the way down. Charles Leclerc is a much better driver than he is. But is it simple skill or has it more to do with the face Vettel may lack the motivation knowing it's his last year with Ferrari? My guess is that it's age since Vettel is still a very proud and competitive person. He reminds me of Michael Schumacher in his final years of F1 racing. Personally i think Racing Point will come to regret dropping Perez in favor of Vettel, who in my opinion has never been much of a team player.

Oh wow.......LEWIS---LEWIS--LEWIS did it again....to win his 7th driver's championship and tie SHUMY.....bravo....with one of his best performance dans des conditions difficiles .....le maîte des maîtres :) .

Big credit to PEREZ with a great performance too....what a driver.....et finalement bravo to VETTEL qui nous démontré ses qualités de champion:).

Again what a bad day for STROLL....pourtant il a mené la moitié de la course MAIS tout c'est écroulé......mauvaise gestion de pneus , baisse de rythme......écroulement total.....another day to forget.

En résumé une course excitante.....la F1 à son meilleur.:)

First of all, kudos to Lance Stroll on his pole position... I never thought we would have to wait 23 years for a fellow Canadian to be the fastest driver on a saturday! Time flies..
His pole position ended a seven year run from the big Three (Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull ), while showcasing his talents under wet conditions once again, just like he did at Imola in 2017.
Unfortunately, after a comfortable start of the race today, his pit stop annihilated any hope for a podium.

I agree with you Doc, that Perez is a better driver than Stroll and it would be a shame if he does not get Albon's spot with Red Bull, in my opinion.
When it comes to Hamilton vs Verstappen , as of now, I will definitely give the edge to Hamilton..but its mostly based on mental toughness and mistakes. Hamilton hardly makes any, while Verstappen's immaturity is still showing at times.. Talent wise ?
Yes. Verstappen is without a doubt, a future World Champion.
Maybe as soon as next year.

That said , I really enjoyed the race!!
Hey Gaby, J'ai enfin eu ma pluie:D

I will let Sebastian Vettel describe Hamilton's feat..
" I think today's race is the best proof that he is the greatest of our era for sure. "

Hard to figure out Stroll. After the first session he was 2nd. Next session? He fails to qualify. WTF? I turned it off after hearing him hint that maybe his team sent him out into traffic which caused him to fuck up his qualifying lap. Is this what happened?

Yep that's what he said a communication problem.....je ne m'attends pas à grand chose de lui today.....à lui de me surprendre......mais mes illusions à son sujet commencent à s'effriter.

WOW....not sure we will have a race après la violente collision au 1er tour de Grosjean avec un muret qu"il a complètement défoncé.....avec une voiture en feu.....spectacle terrifiant....Grosjean a réussi à sortir difficilement de sa voiture......heureusement semble s'en tirer avec des brûlures mineures...espérons le meilleur pour lui.....et cela nous rappelle que ce sport est toujours un sport extrêmement dangereux .
