    Well if the rain does come starting on the harder tyre may help, the others will probably have to stop once before it rains.

    First corner will be tricky, if the defending car holds the racing line then you'll be overtaking on the wet.

    Judging by long run free practice pace the Red Bulls should be all over Mercedes

    Verstappen is charging away from Hamilton, Hamilton is charging away from Bottas. Top 4 really spreading here.

    Without any engine problems. This will be the top 3. I think Hamilton will struggle to keep 2nd

    Vettels charge has slowed a little, but he still has a chance of 5th, maybe better will a well timed safety car

    Gotta see what Ricciardo can do now. This might not be so devastating for Vettel after all.

    I think 5th is all he can hope for.

    Vettel will finish ahead of Bottas at this rate.

    Ricciardo is around 0.7s a lap quicker than Hamilton. Won't take long to catch.

    Vettel on the softs has got some serious pace, Bottas does look vulnerable.

    Seb will clear Vandoorne easily and then it's only Perez between him and the first Merc!
