    How did Kimi manage to lose a place as well?

    Kimi well checked out. This season likely to be his last.

    Verstappen up behind Hamilton could be interesting when the safety car comes in.

    Fully expecting a crash between the 2 of them. Depends on weather Hamilton gets a good restart or not.

    Don't discount the Red Bulls.

    Did say "might"...hopefully they're is still a good race ahead and maybe a bit of rain if needed

    Vettel and Bottas might good to watch if they can get through the field

    Indeed! Vettel, Bottas and Alonso propping up the rear!


    The Red Bulls were mighty on Friday on the slower tyre.

    We are actually seeing cars racing, the messy start has definitely helped but still it's nice to see some wheel to wheel action

    Jesus Croft is a ****in idiot. If Vettel goes to the end and somehow manages to keep a train of cars behind him there'll be 3 or 4 who'll get the jump with his 5 second penalty. Unless he gets lucky with rain he's not getting past the Red Bulls without another stop.

    1 down. He'll need to say a prayer before attempting a pass on Kmag.

    Kmag gone. He can relax now. :p


    It is starting to look comfortable for Hamilton now, Ghost Train.

    About 30sec behind the leader with pitstop made, so not doing too bad considering

    Rain in 20min maybe, not looking too bad on radar

    According to Karun, they are holding off the pitstops in case they need to change to inter/wets
