Wasn't it that the one with track position gets the undercut? Why RIC in first? Hidden team order there.

I guess thats what happens when you try to out brake one of the last of the late brakers on the grid. It is a pity but It hasn't totally ruined the race for me, there are some great battles brewing behind.

Absolutely, but Nico seemed a bit impetuous there, not what the title fight needs.

Chilton out. So ends it for the 'Home team'...

Could be.

Ricciardo did do more laps on his softer tyres in Qualifying so might have worn them sooner.

Terrible Marussia week comes to an end.

No. Vettel was leaving Ricco behind. He had to pit. His tires were nine laps older. No team orders.

Still weird. In Canada they said that who's leading on the track comes in first. Unless they drive different strats the rules seem to have changed now that one of them is leaving...

Considering Vettel hasn't stopped yet, I would say you've got it.

Ricciardo now is ahead of Seb is Vettel was to pit now.

Not looking great for Red Bull today though. 34 seconds off the lead on pace for Seb and 61 for Ricc.

Weird race today.

One of those races where every car spreads out from each other. No real battles on track.

Lets hope it livens up a bit at the end.
