    Just seen that Lewis Hamilton is 50/1 to win the GP..<yikes>..is he being handicapped and driving on just 3 wheels?

    I heard the #HumanErrorChampion bleating again. Not a Ferrari fan, but hope LC does the job this afternoon. Lewis has done so well this afternoon, shame about the early safety car.

    Phew, what a finish. Luck was against Lewis when the pit lane was closed during the VSC - he was a few hundred metres too far up the road to stop before it was closed. Otherwise he was looking at P6 or higher. I really hope Mercedes can catch up to Ferrari and Red Bull soon.

    Blimey, Max got VERY lucky with that yellow flag with two laps to go. Another great race though.

    Does Max use the word ‘unfair’ more than any other professional sportsman? Starting to feel like it!

    Great race though.

    It will be pretty astonishing if Woods plays at The Masters in a couple of days time, given the severity of his injuries that he had to recover from.

    I'm struggling to believe what I'm watching here. Woods is playing golf like nothing has happened! Incredible.

    He pulled a couple of shots almost as if he was in pain, but recovered beautifully. Quite amazing - and hats off to his medical and physio team for getting him fit enough.

    Something's gone badly wrong with the car there. Oh dear how sad never mind.

    Verstappen did a remarkably good job of parking that, which actually hurt his teammate. If he doesn't react instantly, he'd have to park it in a spot where it'd be far harder to recover (and might've burned to the ground), which would have allowed Perez to close on Leclerc.

    Two DNF's for Max already. Charles heavy favourite for the driver's championship already.
