    Bottas reaffirms the fact that he is a number 2 driver yet again :(

    Everyone lapped except the top 3 is a bit grim.

    Sainz was closing up very quickly, at one stage he was under 8 seconds behind Perez. Seems to have dropped back a little now

    That graphic of the total race gap with the entire field listed +1 lap is about as useful as an inflatable dartboard

    Just add that one to the long list of dull Spanish grand prixs. Hopefully that is the last race at this track, i believe it's not on the 2021 calendar (yet).

    Max single handedly keeping the sport interesting.
    Unfortunately with pushing the new regs to 2022, the 2021 season will be a Merc rinse and repeat.

    I actively dislike this circuit, it almost always produces boring races. So I usually have very low expectations, on balance I'm not that disappointed.

    Great job by Vettel to manage a 1 stop, he was on those soft tyres for an eternity

    Bland race.. highlights Stroll start is awesome . Daddy's team or not he had a great race from his point of view

    How did Vettel drag those softs that length . Deserves Driver of the Day .

    This track is poor . All those cars so close and no overtaking . It should have been a right battle alas no.

    That was some boring race. Absolute procession at the front. HAM VER BOT again in just a different order. The fact that everyone was lapped except those 3 is crazy.

    Hamilton 'in a daze'. Nice way of saying he wasn't in a race today.

    He had a nice afternoon of super powered go carting.

    Mercedes team reaction says it all really, just a polite round of applause.
