oh oh.... i think verstappen is in trouble.

i think he stalled it behind the mclaren and he was NOT inside the white line. I think the mechanics recovered it illegally.

They won't punish him .

If bearded men being wound up with a key and dressed in ballet outfits is your thing, then yes, yes they do.

Strange man..........

No they don’t.

Only if Hamiltons on the Podium (Or Rosberg is interviewing up there). Otherwise, no.



Also I'd just like to point out that I voted for Bottas here so don't let me down!

Hilarious row breaking out between Renault and Toro Rosso.

Helmet and Cyril not happy!

You might see a Red Bull Honda in 2018 folks!!

I think that corner was just too taxing for Lewis, probably should try and avoid it next time.

I heard Martin Whitmarsh was standing by that corner. I blame him.

Announcement from Mercedes:

"NEWS: Lewis Hamilton will start the [HASHTAG]#BrazilGP[/HASHTAG] from the pit lane as we will have to break Parc Ferme...

We will fit a new PU, as there is no penalty. That's a new ICE, MGU-H and TC"

I think Mercedes were robbed of a 1-2

Seems the sensible thing to do as they are having to do a rebuild job down one side of the car anyway.

I guess this gives them a chance to see what the oil burn rules does to their engine. Their current ones are all pre-rule change so this will be the first to race under current regs.

See if they are hampered as much as Ferrari have been.

Valid point

Car was bottoming out, says Lewis.

"You can see in the replay that the car is bottoming through the whole corner and often when it bottoms it stalls the floor," Lewis explained. "That often happens when the tyres are cold, but these things happen.

"But the grip felt good and that's why I took the speed into the corner. I hadn't gone in there any quicker than I had done before or anything like that. But still, it's my fault and I take full responsibility for it.""

I actually have this feeling that is is going to be best race of season.

all the conditions are there for a fun one

two Ferraris have been quick off pole. Merc in front. Hamilton charging through field.

clear passing opportunities

mad max....

this one should be a classic
