Red flag at 3 minutes, and neither Williams has set a time.
Anyone else notice that Vettel was in fourth and ninth on the screen graphics near the end ?
Ferrari over a second behind The Boss. Ocon the best rookie since Max, period!
How will Ferrari contrive to get Seb ahead of Kimi tomorrow? :rolleyes:
It's gonna be a hairy first lap , Taz , with those two pink cars not happy with each other , a red one knowing they would be looking for a swap , given the chance , and two silvers knowing that one following the other is crippling for the man behind .
It could be a Williams one-two , after they weave through the carbon fiber shards .
That was last race. Nice scenario but I doubt we will have carnage at the front, but a safety car could throw a spanner into the works, but I don't see Williams finishing on the podium in this universe ;)Quote:

I probably would not go that far. Wehrlien is doing a fantastic job at Sauber considering how crap that car is. Given a competitive car he would be on par with the the best of them or even better.
I am happy to see Stroll get into good form. He was beginning to raise concerns before Canada. As for Vandoorne, there very little he could do with the dogged Mclaren. Some say he should be matching Alonso, or be there about. I think it does not matter while the car is so crap.
That said, Palmer with two years of F1 experience is being out shined by the fresh faced rookies. At least by Ocon, Wehrlien and Stroll who all have points on the board.
I bet €10 that Ferrari would swap Vettel and Raikonen the first chance they get. Assuming Vettel survive the Verstapenn attack on the first lap tomorrow.
According to this:

McLaren are reverting to an older spec Honda engine for the race. Because of the, um, "gearbox problem" that Alonso had in practice.
Not wanting to minimize the scale of the engineering challenge in making a new-turbo-era engine work, but this is beyond ridiculous.
Hey guys!
Here we go guys.
Greatings to you all.:D
Hope this is better than last years race.
Dudes! :wave:
Wow!... what a start.
Hmmm... Looks like there will be no holiday cards or invites to Christmas dinner between Bottas or Kimi, eh?... :p ;)
Lots of carnage, Max is the latest!
What a mess Kimi dropping parts all over the trackl :D
This race is mad. Massa on course for a nice result
Carnage is an under statement :p
Williams 3-4
Ocon's crazy move has cost Force India dearly. I think FI has a serious driver feud problem.
Canada foretold this... Perez & Ocon have now become the best of enemies, to the chagrin of the management of Force India. You didn't get on top of this, now it will drag the team towards the bottom.
Fred calls for red flag and gets it!
the scenes if Stroll is on the podium
The gloves are off between Vettel and Hamilton as Vettel angrily drives up along side Hamilton and turns into him.
Man, this track is making friends of drivers everywhere... :p
Wow! Vettel literally took a swipe against Hamilton
Haha... great crazy stuff.
I called a red flag about 6 seconds before Fred. Saves lots of wasted laps.
In before Bottas or a Williams wins.
Force India incident was Ocon's fault. He passed Perez fairly and then squeezed him into the wall. Perez had no where to go.
As for Ham v Seb. Hamilton had the right to be slowing down to let the SC escape, but he was very slow. Then Seb was silly to risk his car as a barging tool. :D
Crackers race. (Love it)
I remember when Sebastian rear ended Webber behind the safety car and they both had to retire. 2007Japan. They were 2nd and 3rd. This race is crazy.
Vettel used his car as a weapon against Lewis. It's about time that little cunt was taught a lesson now. Only one thing for it, black flag and a ban for the remainder of the season for Vettel. You cannot ever smash your car in to another opponent under any condition. Between this and all he did last year he deserves serious punishment.
Ocon is living up to Bernies mantra. Don't get mad, just get even. But it's a silly move.
Will that be a drive through for Vettel? Remember a similar incident when Maldonado gave Hamilton a nudge after the race? Did he recieve a fine or grid penalty?
a season ban is a bit harsh but a black flag for the race would not be ridiculous. Hamilton had the right to do what he did behind the safety car and vettel simply ran into him. perez did into run into vettel and there were no other issues. Vettel was simply not paying attention or allowing enough space behind hamilton to avoid this. and lets not forget that vettel was the king of shenanigans behind the safety car when he was leafing the pack all these years. talso the safety car light was out and thus the leader has the right to determine the pack. Then to compound his error he deliberately slams into hamilton. that is a straight black flag for me along with a 10 place grid penalty for the next race. or even a black flag for the next race too. anything less would be cowardly from the stewards.
Great pass by Riccy!
Wow!! now the racin' is gettin' HOT! :hot:
stewarts are too quiet on the vettel incident.
Mercedes messup and may have loss the race.
