    Why are they are putting a huge sticker onto the track moments before the race starts?

    To protect the tyres a little bit :pac:

    Love listening to Rosberg, he speaks sense from experience.

    Anyone know what the temp is?

    For all the talk about how hot it is no one has said actually how hot it is.

    Track temperature was mentioned at 50 degrees not so long ago.

    I have to say, I'm actually enjoying Rosberg. Just keeps to the point, and explains alot on this.

    Thanks. I thought there were 5 compounds last year. Have they gotten rid of one compound this year?

    Five compounds still - C1, C2, C3, C4, C5!

    The C5 was not selected for any of the initial 8 races, as you can imagine it struggles to even last a lap.

    So far Max can match Hamilton. This is great. It’s a pity the track is not more suited to overtaking.

    Bottas is starting to creep up on him though

    Sounds like every one is managing tyres and managing gaps, not sure if anyone actually wants to pass on track. This is a tyre race

    Yes, it was too good to be true. I was hoping that Max’s tyre management would be better than the Mercs.

    BBC not expecting many to use the hard tyre. It's a lot slower than the medium so its better to use the medium and pit twice.

    We'll see what happens as they're about to pit now

    He lost over a second on the last lap. Unless they plan a 1stop then they really ought to pit him soon.

    Red bull looking for second place, max looking for the win.

    Vettel on medium much faster than leclerc on softs. The mediums are the better tyre right now.

    Bottas is closer to Hamilton now than he was before the stop, how exactly was he shafted?
