    Ferrari might hope leclerc delays Hamilton

    The cars are able to follow each other at least without cooking their tyres immediately

    Giovinazzi sliding around now
    Should have pitted him once McLaren got past

    Hamilton not liking them tyres and will have to pit again

    Bottas 16 seconds ahead

    I'm predicting Bottas, Verstappen, Vettel, Hamilton finish

    Perez pitted much earlier, about 14 laps before Stroll. They are both on the hard tyre

    Jesus croft is annoying with his Joe Vinatsi.
    Poor race so far for Leclerc

    Compare the cars Schumacher had to Hamilton, also the number of races per season etc.

    Doesn't matter, if Hamilton finishes with around 10 WDC's as is likely. He will be the GOAT.

    Leclerc is on the Hard tyre, he's good till the end of the race. Vettel might be struggling on the medium though

    The fastest lap point is generating some additional intrigue that wouldn't have been present otherwise. They are scrapping over that point!

    Edit: Hamilton "I need that point"

    Well done Bottas. Could this be his year? Would be great to think he can challenge Hamilton more this year and really put it up to him.
    Also wow to Red Bull-Honda and Max V 3rd place in there first race of the season. It looks like Red Bull could do even better this year than they did last year and that's with a Honda engine wow.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Not to happy with that race to be honest, nice to see the mercs might have a Battle but Ferrari are clearly planning on using Charles are a rear gunner to help vettel which probably means they know there way off the pace, verstappen didn’t really have an answer once he caught up with the merc.

    Enjoyed the race, good to see Honda have a good race. Ferrari, hopefully they get closer next time
    Redbull seem to manage the tyres well

    Bottas in a world of his own today. Ferrari were spineless in the end. Didn't pit Le Clerc or let him try overtake Vettel. Putting all there eggs in Vettels basket so early is stupid.
