Stroll. Again. Claire, I'm available if you need someone who's probably no more likely to bin it.

I feel a bit sorry for him TBH... he must have talent to have got this far but it definitely looks like he has arrived in F1 a couple of years too early. IMO Williams are as much to blame for this because when they signed him they were clearly only thinking about the money he brings rather than the overall picture.

Well that's three less to be lapped.

DC is going on about fuel use.

Which teams benefit the most?

I like Palmer, i want him to do well but just don't think he has it, same goes for Stroll really, least he has completed a lap now, even if he did spin.

McLaren. For all the good it'll do them!

[Derek Smith]

LH seems slow. Tactics or just not fast enough.

Bttas nearly 2 secs ahead

[Derek Smith]

Aren't we ever going to see the RB drivers fighting?

[MitchT]

Wonder if it was Ricciardo who was smoking on the grid?

[TheInternet]

Bloody Webbermobile.

I bet he'd take Palmers seat right now!

[Derek Smith]

Re LH's cut off in power, he went purple in the first sector last lap and then went 0.05 slower that the Ferrari.

Bet Renault would give it him too if it wasn't for contracts at both ends.

Horner mentioned during the grid walk that they had just hopefully fixed a water leak on Verstappen's car

[VolvoT5]

The dirty air impact looks big here, nobody really following within 1.5 seconds

[London424]

Bottas has this in control right now

[Derek Smith]

That's a reassuring message to Verstappen

[MiniMan64]

I'm getting a that's the end of the race feeling about this one. Top 4 are pretty stretched out already, all similar pace and only the one stop to make.
