    Kvyat looking adventurous
    Pity he has drive through but probably fair enough, gave it too much throttle with cars on his outside, cost McLaren alot

    Drive through penalty for Kvyat was a tad harsh, it was hard to see from the camera angle we saw but I thought it was more of a racing incident

    Vettel looking a bit rough with his driving, Ferrari not looking great compared to Mercedes

    I think we could see Verstappen on the podium yet.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I think he's getting close enough to try for an undercut

    Especially if Ferrari try switching their cars again

    Hülk retires - still the unluckiest driver in F1!

    I'm not a fan of teams telling a driver to let their team mate pass. Renaults reliability is so bad

    That was a great try by Verstappen but a bit over ambitious maybe.

    If Bottas wants to be treated as anything other than a number 2 he needs to start giving Mercedes some headaches and get after Hamilton

    Just as an aside, the race looks packed if you look at the main grandstand, look at the other stands/viewing areas and it tells another story!

    Yeah, I can't see many changes in the top 6 unless something really drastic happens
