The 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix Chat and Predictions

everyone politely pitting out of the way for Vettel here.

 

Impressive stuff from Vettel. He could be in with a shout of a podium here.

 

That award moment when you're in a Mercedes and Perez is catching you.... cough cough Bottas

 

All Hamilton has to do is beat Vettel.

 

Might not be possible....

 

If Vettel can deal with Perez quick then he'll be right on Bottas and blocking Hamiltons pit window.

 

There’s 23s is between them, I think that’s a bit too much.

Bottas is showing no pace so Vettel will pass him soon.

 

If Mercedes can get faster as the race goes on then we might have a cracker of a Red Bull/Mercedes/Vettel finale

 

Let's see how tyres work out in the second half of the race.

 

he's now gaining on Hamilton and that's with the harder tyre. Going to be close come lap 40-50

 

Yup.

Bottas is toast.

 

Strange strategy from the Danny Ricc team- effectively lost a net 8 seconds to Hamilton.

Were they going longer with a threat of rain?

 

people need to remember that Bottas had these failed upgraded on his car that Hamilton took off before qualify yesterday.

 

Vettel is catching Hamilton, but no at a quick enough rate. If by any chance he gets to Hamilton, he’s on the softer compound which will be coming to the end of their life.

 

And it wasn't a weather balloon that fell on Roswell... remember that too!

 

Less fuel, less stress on the tyre... could be there yet.

 

Still looking forward to a spicy end to this GP
