Ok,

So the Mercs should have good race pace and the soft tyre is in play too (favoured), but will look to consolidate the WCC, they are 55 points ahead and a Ferrari 1/2 could claw back up to 43 if Merc had a double DNF.

Ferrari, race win here, Kimi for me, but let’s see Seb put a race together.

Red Bull, possible race win, car should be quick here, this race is heavy on the tyres and red bull have had the least deg of the front runners, I can see alternative strategy’s, podium a certainty for one of them.

Rain a chance on Friday, looks heavy Saturday, a few cars out of place, who gets the timing right?

The pick of the rest,

Hülkenberg, expecting a good race, works the tyres well, has shown good pace on extreme strategy’s had his one and only pole here.

CLC, not having a great run with multiple DNF in last 6/7 races, needs to show he can finish races and now is the time to start.

Vandoorne, made 8 places up last race weekend, let’s see that again and a points finish?

Racing Point are 15 points behind McLaren and 9 in front of Sauber, need a good points haul to take the WCC to Abu Dhabi, Ocon and Perez need to play nicely.

Not 'Live on Channel 4', highlights only.

For those who don't subscribe to SkyF1, the race (not practice or qualifying) is live on Sky1.

Their caption (sorry), should say broadcasting on C4!

That is very funny!

I love that dig. For Renault it is payback time.

We need more fun in F1.

I can see it now

Post race interview from DC

“Well Max, Pole, P1, Fastest Lap, and you lead every lap, your first Grand Chelem, how do you feel”?

“Well we were a little slow on the straights”!

Merc not to run the controversial (fia approved) wheels in Brazil.

Red Bull getting the boot into Dani Ric early this weekend, new turbo, so grid penalty’s for him.

Ferrari struggling with the rears? (Supersofts).

I think they ran the tyres into the ground and did a lot more laps on them than the others

They were doing 1.13’s whilst Merc were doing 1.12’s

(These are not new btw, used super softs)...

I don't think it was. It was a throat cut motion to tell Vettel to turn the engine off.

I don't know whether we a talking about the same person and the same clip, but an engine cut gesture is side to side at neck height, and what I saw was hand extended towards Vettel, back of the hand towards him, and fingers moving front to back in a classic beckoning "move towards me please" way. It is literally impossible to mistake one for the other.

Clips posted above, side to side movement across throat.
