    Of all the remaining races this is the mostly likely to be a Ferrari walk over. For that reason I predict a non Ferrari winner.

    Merc will suffer less with their relatively draggy aero in the thinner air though. I would have thought that would evened things up a bit on the straights.

    Seems like Lewis is getting a bit of stick for his 'save the world, eat veg' preaching.
    How on earth can he hope to be carbon neutral by the end of the year??? Surely only way is to 'buy' carbon credits? Sort of defeats the object really.

    Leclerc matching Hamilton and Verstappen on harder tyres. So far so good for team red.

    He is saying ( or others have said on his behalf ) that he sold his private Jet as a help ?

    I thought he sold it well before he started spouting about saving the planet ?

    Out of curiosity how many homes does he have ?

    Offices ?

    Etc ...

    Russell closer to the Renaults than Kubica is to him.
    It's really not been a fairytale season for Robert.

    Extra gutting at it looked like the 2 Mercedes were going to split the Ferraris. Probably going to incur penalties as it turned into a heavy shunt in the end.

    Also, Max went purple past that accident. Not impossible to be penalised there.

    I think Hamilton needs to finish 14 points ahead of Bottas to win championship!!! Bottas not helped himself!!!

    Hopefully will have time to fix the car before tomorrow. If he ends up starting from the pitlane he won't have helped himself. Although Ham only starting 4th so that will help him.

    Genuinely outrageous that Max hasn't got a penalty when he himself says he didn't lift.

    Apparently he was slightly slower through that mini-sector, but losing 0.001s by accident is not the same as backing off.

    For the purposes of the race we dont want Max penalised. But you can't just let a driver flooring it through an accident stand. To make it worse it was completely needless, he already had pole.
