Driver’s presentation is already painfully cheesy.

Ferrari second and third... about time some good luck.
Congrats to Mercedes on the constructors, they won the development race.

And Ricciardo didn't finish... smiles.

Jos Verstappen is going on a twitter rampage.

 
I wonder if Bottas will get a contract for 2019 and beyond? Seems to struggle in comparison to Hamilton and isn’t able to make a fight of it like Rosberg did. Ricciardo’s expressed an interest in partnering Lewis - would be a more challenging teammate than Bottas, based on current performance.

Theres a massive difference between being experienced at driving F1 cars, and being a contender at the front. His first half was very good. It wouldn't surprise me if there's a certain psychological fatigue setting in. It's similar to what I think happened to Rosberg in 14.
 
Valtteri needs the rear end to do what he wants. He has struggled with finding a setup that allows for a well-planted rear end that doesn't cook the tyres after a handful of laps. I think he may have tried to change his driving style to mimic hamilton's which has cost him even more time.

He has a lot of work to do over the off season but Merc changing to a shorter wheelbase car with a lot of rake next year a la RB and Ferrari may help with making the thing easier to set up.

I thought he did a great job fending off a much quicker Ricciardo on Sunday. Apparently he got some floor damage from being run off the road after Dan's divebomb at turn 1 and being left out on old softs with the Ferraris and Max charging behind him didn't help his cause.
