Great hope Bottas wins so it's damage control for Hamo

Edit bit unfair to say they were on the same side as the pact was a non aggression one

OT but tell that to the Fins, Poles and the Baltics.

Bottas has this in control right now

Looking good for his first ever win that's for sure assuming nothing untoward happens.

Good to see it all getting a little mixed up.

Unlike Red Bull to have so many issues.

Massa again has been impressive. I thought Williams taking him back was a mistake but clearly he is driving very well.

Stroll is only just started in F1 but again he is making all the wrong moves to stay there.

Bottas is looking impressive. A win for him would be a great stand after his poor last outing.

Alonso well..........

Stroll is certainly making him look good.

Hope Bottas wins. Shut up all the critics.

What? Like Hamilton's critics shut up after his \WDCs.

Verstappen losing a second a lap to LH.

What's Magnussen unhappy about?

If they had two drivers of Massa's calibre they would be well clear of Force India in the constructors.

Unless there is something specific going on with LH's car, it's seems like Mercedes don't like it up 'em.... they struggle when not at the front.
Normally it'd be LH disappearing, but due to quali positions and a great start, VB gets to feel the Mercedes benefit of clear air...

As said, it's almost race over now, subject to acts of god...

5 sec penalty track limits turn 2/3

[Derek Smith]

LH closing on Raik but is 2/1oths slower in the last sector. Won't be able to pass on the best DRS.

Running off track at turn 2 and not rejoining between the 2 orange bollards he is supposed to. Either he thinks he did or he didn't go off track, or was forced off. (without seeing it)

And that's just on the straight

[stewjohnst]

Palmer whining on C4, be amazed if he lasts the season at this rate.

Wonder how much overtime they have to pay the autoclave department before they've used up his cash?

F1 is clearly a step too far for him.

[Derek Smith]

Has there been any prediction as to when the first tyre stops for the ultra runners will be?

Hamilton is having a Bottas race last time out.

21?

Mercedes should roll the dice and take Lewis in.

That will make the rest perhaps have to react.

[glazbagun]

"Why is my car overheating?" Sucks when you're not in clean air doesn't it?

Is it the coolant or the brakes? Is it possible to 0-stop this race?
