Thanks for joining me for a race that had canada goose a few moments in places but was not the most thrilling. Still, Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes won’t mind as they extend their leads in the driver and constructor championships. Sebastian Vettel could only manage third among it canada goose coats on sale all and he didn’t seem to happy with his team for their strategy decisions today and indeed yesterday, especially after jumping Verstappen to take second at the start, which he then surrendered in the pit stop phase.

Remember that Vettel managed to pass Verstappen on lap one but Ferrari lost it at the pit stops. That will canada goose clearance sale hurt them. Could Vettel have won? We don’t know but second place would have given him another three points. And he needs every point he can get at the moment.
canada goose coats on sale It’s true, I think overall we were not fast enough. We didnt have the pace in the race. We tried to be aggressive in the beginning but it didn’t work out.

I’m mostly thinking about today’s race. I think today, with the way we raced we didn’t have a chance. I think I said before the weekend we can only beat ourselves and I think this weekend we didn’t get everything out of our package.

I’m canada goose store spent. That was a tough race. I had such great support here and we had a great start, the team have just never given up faith and belief in me and Valtteri and in our ability.
