I'm absolutely astonished at the equality in the midfield here.
McLaren blamed Sainz' Q1 exit on his last run being hampered by Kubica's puncture, while the driver himself estimated the loss of time in three or fourth tenths. At first I thought this was bollocks, but had Sainz' lap been four tenths faster, he'd have been 8th instead of 18th. Having eleven cars in four tenths is nothing short of impressive.
Brilliant start by Bottas.
Morning guys. Great start from Bottas
Shame to see Ricciardo have a mare at the start
Ferrari not showing anything like the pacey poos I was expecting.
The race is looking a tad stale so far
Sainz smoking away:rolleyes:
Good evening Steve! :dork:
Yes stale is a good way to put it. Hope it picks up!Quote:

Some drive from Bottas. Nearly 20 seconds ahead of the rest.
While mad Max is showing them how to pass.
I'm really surprised at the gaps between Bottas and Hamilton on one hand, and Vettel and Leclerc on the other. I wonder whether they've had some issues with the tyres or what, but the differences we're seeing today (20 and 15 seconds) aren't definitely normal, especially since there was little to choose between either pair in quali.
On top of that, it's been a dreadful return so far for Kubica. Let's hope that this was just a one-off, but he's been utterly useless so far for the whole weekend.
