If every race was like that I'd be getting up to watch each and every one. So fucking good in so many ways.

Hamilton is a fucking beast.

He had a new engine in the fastest car on the grid, he should do well. But I guess that doesn't explain Bottas shitting the bed frequently.

I think Bottas just doesn't give a shit any more. His entire time at Merc playing second to Ham, and only three more races and he's out.

Bottas was just a guest on the Beyond the Grid podcast, which is always a good listen but I thought his interview was interesting. He's either incredibly misunderstood (and doesn't seem to care that much) or one of the best at hiding his true self in an interview. I doubt it's the latter. Always had mixed feelings about him but came away with more respect for sure. Hard to deny he has one of the worst/hardest jobs in F1 as Lewis' teammate. Will be interesting to see how George does in that seat next year - not to mention how Bottas and Alfa Romeo make out.

The list is long of drivers who were wingmen / played second fiddle. Massa & Barrichello with Schumi, Webber with Vettel etc. It's a hard job. Although the 2 drivers are in the same car, there is no doubt the number 1 driver gets the best of everything.

Up to now, I've been watching F1 on UK TV via VPN (Channel 4's coverage is free-to-air). Problem is, it isn't live

What options are there to watch live over here (BC)? I don't have a cable package but would consider signing up for a daily/24hr coverage for the last few races or the season...
