    2 puffs of blue smoke from the back of Bottas on the formation lap. I remember that being the telltale sign that an engine was about to go pop in the mid 00's. I'm sure Bottas will have annoyingly good reliability today however.

    hmm, Perez follows the rules and gets a penalty, understand why, but it shows what a **** up this 'safety lane' is if it works out faster.

    Behind both McLaren, Both Renaults and the Sauber.

    It's actually getting a bit sad. How can he be this slow?

    Given RBR's history .

    IMHO Mind Games / CLEAR preferential treatment .

    Not the first team to do it of course , but if he is a sensitive soul , he's F***ed from the start .

    I'll tell you what LeClerc is flying up behind Bottas.

    Ferrari probably a bit unhappy that they can't tell Leclerc to make way for Vettel with Max sat between them.

    For everyone who chose to have a sunday nap instead of watching this, well done.

    For the rest of us, that's best part of 90 minutes you'll never get back.........

    Feel gutted for Norris. Great showing for McLaren. Other than last 2 laps was a boring race. Wonder if Riccy will get penalty?

    Decent race from Leclerc to get that close to Bottas. Desperately sad for Lando Norris as well.

    For F1 though, what a disaster this season is. I think it's going to overtake 2015 as my least favourite season ever.

    Gasly had one good race last season, everyone raved and then missed that he was mediocre for the rest. Max might be a knob, but he's also very fast racing driver.
    Kvyat and Albon racing for the seat atm.
