Max made a balls of that

Horrendous start for Verstappen

Cool_CM

Kimi and Lando! Wow, horror start for Max

deafroadrunner

Awful start for max

Before the start of the race I meant to ask what price a Merc 1-2? :P

Good stuff from Norris, unlucky in the end.

Vettel made that pass on Lando look easy if a little close

PsychoPete

Good stuff from Lando

Fair fücks to Lando!

Watching Lando fighting with Hamilton, Kimi, Vettel and Verstappen is great. Shame that the difference in car performance is so great that they just breeze by in the end.

Kubica suddenly dropped like a stone to the back and 3 seconds behind Kvyat. I wonder did he make a mistake or is he just really really slow

Mercedes seem to be waiting for leclerc to pit to overcut him

Thursday: Gonna be warm, ooh tyres!
Friday: It's warm, tyres are going off quick
Saturday: Oh God the tyres!
Sunday afternoon: One stop, no problem.
Sunday evening: Tyres could be an issue at the next race.

Shout out to Russell looking competitive at least.

Long way to go and this is already much more entertaining than last week's race.

Everyone's pretty much in the position they should be now, might get a pass in the pits before the end.

In fact that scrap at the back was great. Albon passing everyone, fighting with the Haas. Russell trying to sneak in as well then immediately battling Kvyat behind him. Great stuff.

Lando's not so small in Kimi's mirrors now

deafroadrunner

Excellent move by lando

Harika

Gasly now stuck behind the Norris, Kimi train

I remember the whinging about the pirellis going off to quickly and now we are cemented to one stops.

Wonder how many cars will be on the lead lap at the end, it's a short track.

Yup. I find it hard to criticise Pirelli, they've pretty much ticked the boxes of what they were told to do at all times. Even when someone sets a fast lap on what are supposed to be bubble gum tyres they can still do a quarter distance with little hassle. Teams have just managed to figure it out.

No safety car it'll be the current top 5 just.

Have KMag as the first to retire at 25/1. Looking good so far. It'll be a hat-trick of first retirees!

Feck sake Ferrari - excellent idea, terrible execution

Stupid bastards.

Even if that move by Ferrari had "worked" he still would have had a couple of cars between him and Bottas and lost time. Idiots.
