It's the we've got more money that anybody else Grand Prix

[slipstream 1985]

oh my god, watching the pre show and the flyby by the passenger jet and the fighters with all the smoke. My mum comes out with " wow that's not the flightpath of a plane is it" Yes mum all commercial jets get 2 fighters spiraling round them and 5 others in formation....

I didn't realise coverage had started. I'd best turn on the telly.

[Clockwork Cupcake]

Blimey. Just got the telly turned on in time - they're on the formation lap!

[Derek Smith]

I can't feel any real anticipation for this one. Given my predictions throughout the season, we might, just might, get a fight between the two RB drivers.

They keep flogging the second place in the WDC. Best of luck with that.

Quiet in here!

[Adrian W]

And it's a haas screwing up again

[jas xjr]

hamilton to aid bottas if he can.

[Derek Smith]

Both Mercs out of DRS, when it comes on.

[Clockwork Cupcake]

I wonder if Lewis will be fighting for the lead, or riding shotgun for Bottas to give MB the hat trick of the WCC and P1 & P2 of the WDC?

[Doink]

Thought Lewis would let bottas go while holding Vettel up causing a bottle neck but Lewis seems to be leaving the Ferrari behind too 🤔

[Derek Smith]

Fastes lap for LH

[Clockwork Cupcake]

This race seems to be slipping into background viewing already.

[Derek Smith]

Bottas flying. Taking a tenth or so each lap out of LH

[jas xjr]

my thought is that whilst LH might aid bottas , he still needs to make it clear he is capable of winning. please note i know next to nothing about F1 or anything else
