Hopefully the start will be tasty. Merc need Bottas ahead of Vettel to win. Otherwise I expect Vettel to put Hamilton under pressure just like Aus

Looks like only Sainz on slicks.

 

[SgtBhaji]

Surely it's going to dry fast.

 

[El_Bando]

The track is dry!!!

 

[BrightLampShade]

Vestappen should come in for dries, everything to gain here.

 

[SgtBhaji]

Is Vettel even within half a mile of his box?

 

[BrightLampShade]

Interesting from Vettel, but assuming that's allowed he's very well placed now.

 

[SgtBhaji]

Ferrari about to make mugs of Merc?

 

[SgtBhaji]

Getting expensive for Sauber right there. This could totally work out for Vettel now.

 

[BrightLampShade]

Well this has worked out for Vettel.

 

[BrightLampShade]

Well this has worked out for Vettel.

I thought they wouldn't let them pit with them going through the pits, but turns out they all could. Not great for Vettel then.

These cars are finding out the boys from the men.

Alonso and Verstappen Supreme in those opening laps.

Perhaps that McLaren does have a decent bit of downforce after all. Shame we will never know how good it actually is.

Hamilton has won majorly on this

Hamilton has won majorly on this

If he stays on track till it turns dry he's looking good. I'm looking forward to seeing how Ricciardo fares now.

 

[TopClass]

Red Bulls on super soft- is that a genius move with the extra grip?

Bottas has just spun

 

[BrightLampShade]

Oh dear Bottas....... It's tricky out there!

 

[SgtBhaji]

Hamilton has won majorly on this

Thought that would have worked out much better for Vettel than it did. That could have just killed the race.

 

[BrightLampShade]

Well the Red Bulls seem to like mildly damp conditions.

 

[El_Bando]

All aboard the Hammy train

Blimey
