The 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix Chat and Predictions

Exactly . I mentioned this yesterday after qualifying .

 

Jolyoff... again..

 

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Vettel get third.

 

Merc pace has been off on both cars but in particular on the 'upgraded' Bottas one.

Ricc is catching Hamilton but a bit less than needed. Then Vettel is catching much quicker!

 

I don't normally venture on here, but just wondering if Martin/Crofty might just mention at some stage what a brilliant job Vandoorne is doing today.

 

A safety car would make it tasty about now.

 

Vettel has done brilliant today. You'd think that had Kimi started he could have won here. That Ferrari pace is mega.

 

He would have won it with ease I think. Vettel also has a brand new engine.

Vettel will only get a chance at Ham, if he passes Ricciardo quickly.

 

Vettel's tyres will be starting to get a bit tired now, but still he's got a lot of pace in the bag to push forward with.

 

......those clouds look pretty dark. Just saying.

 

If he stands a chance of second... gotta happen now.

 

Alonso helping out

 

And the window just closed.

 

Yep, 7 Laps, over 8secs gap.

 

Impressive drive none the less. Perfect damage limitation.

 

Driver of the day, easily.

 

Without doubt.

 

I think the edge from Vettel’s tyres have gone.

 

Totally deserves a podium...

 

Vandoorne looks safe in p7, great weekend from him.
