    Barring weather, mechanical failure or a badly timed safety car... Max has this in the bag.

    Agreed.

    Be interesting to see how far Charles can get (before his engine goes pop or Ferrari decide to put him on monsoon tyres in the sun).

    I don't believe they did (though they'll probably say they did...when they have next to zero idea).

    They aren't 100% sure still, but they suspect it was damage from Spain. They had reused the ICE from that race.

    Just watching quali again.

    Hamilton and alonso in turn 1. They didn't follow dry line at all.

    That's the difference

    Need a great start from Alonso and a massive charge from Charlie, otherwise Father's day is ruined! :p

    Max should win comfortably unless Carlos can get a good clean start and put him under pressure.

    Looking forward to seeing Alonso get racey and I think Ricciardo could have some fun fighting the Haas and Alfa Romeos.

    Safety cars could make this tricky with any difficult timings so let’s see!

    Intrigued to see Lewis from P4 and how his race pace is

    He should get a podium as I can see Alonso going backwards in the dry

    Nando's not wanting to let Carlos get away here.

    George having a great run!

    That's a crapper for Perez. But, if Max gets a similar issue, might help close things up again.:)

    hmm, RBR have to stop again for sure, if Sainz goes for the one stop could be interesting.

    I'd have totally left Sainz out there. If he can stretch this stint for a one stop and maintain the lead... Max totally has to put again. Need a safety car to buy him a few laps toward the end of the stint. :)

    Whatever Alonso’s strategy was, it hasn’t worked.
