Pretty much self-inflicted disaster for Vettel this race; although he can put a lot of his poor starting position on the team's strange tire decision in Q3, that move on Verstappen looked like a pure unforced error to me. All he had to do was wait for the exit from spoon 2 and he should have had a pretty decent shot at out-dragging the RBR up the hill. Lucky to avoid a penalty, too. He was driving a good race up until that point and had almost erased the deficit from the poor qualy; should have ended up on the podium.
He didn't even need to overtake Max on track considering the RB driver's penalty. If he had just stayed within 5 seconds of Max, it would have been an automatic podium.
Oct. 31, 1999 - one of the blackest days in motorsports.
Wet conditions.
Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
Meeke had a big gap to Rossel after stage 3 (20 sec)
at stage 4 had a puncture and now the gap to Rossel is just 2 sec
Gryazin strangely slow,anybody now why?...
