A few grid penalties then. Shame.

Hope for a good race. Bottas hasn't had much luck this year though.
Hope that changes.
After yesterday who predicts some fiesty RBR action between team mates?
Assuming Grojan doesn't take them out first!

SC before second lap is my prediction.

Fairly exciting opening lap! Hamilton and Bottas completely destroying the field so far. Should be a Merc 1-2 by over a minute unless they turn down the engines soon

Great comeback from Bottas.
[doublepost=1530451772][/doublepost]Poor Bottas. Can't get the luck. Same for Hulkenberg.

Wow!! Poor Bottas, c-a-n-n-o-t catch a single break

Fantastic start, excellent driving, go Red Bull Go..... I smell a Red Bull 1 2todsy because Mercedes have messed up their strategy..... again... no doubt they will blame their computer algorithm again...

Poor poor poor Botas, he needs a hug. mad can Martin Brundle shut up, he is full of it! He was moaning about where the Renault that was on fire stopped! Should of gone in the pits he moaned... idiot!

Mercedes need another SC to make this work. Looks like RB 1-2.
Lewis wants rubber now!

 

[Glideslope]

LMAO. Lewis in full Cry Baby Mode at lap 30.

To be fair, he's done everything right. I think he should be having a go at the team.

Poor strategy decision.

Well, Seb just invalidated that observation.

Really? Clearly his car has a power issue (red light coming on shows that).

This is getting VERY interesting, Lewis’s tyres are now blistering, that means Dani will leave him on his newer set, so will the Ferrari tyres suffer?

Shame about Dani’s tyres

 

[BenTrovato]

Merc must have spotted something with Bottas and turned down Lewis.. at least temporarily. They were going to win the race by 60 seconds from the opening laps.

Don't understand how Lewis's younger tyres are blistering more than the Ferrari.
Agree shame on Ricardo. I'd prefer him to beat Max.
[doublepost=1530454525][/doublepost]Then it goes from bad to worse for Ricardo.

I’d prefer Max to win as he deserves to! And now Ricardo is out.

lol wouldn't know. Not seen him since lap three!

 

[BenTrovato]

Terrible birthday weekend for Daniel! The good guys have been thwarted in Austria. Hulk, Bott, and Ric gone.

And now Lewis. Hope Max can keep in front of the Ferraris.
Think they'll swap their order shortly.

 

[apolloa]

And just like that Mercedes lose the lead. They are lucky Dani is out as he would have mixed up the top four a lot.

 

[Glideslope]

Holy Cow. Wait till Lewis sees the video of Lauda smiling and patting Bottas on the back after Lewis dropped out. Going to be Nuclear.

 

[apolloa]

Come on Max, he has got to floor it now!!!

 

[pachyderm]

and he's done!
lol

I almost didn't watch this one... so happy I did!

 

[apolloa]

YYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

RESULT!!!

 

[Apple fanboy]

Great race. Totally unpredictable.
Start was fantastic.
Bad luck for the Mercedes and Daniel.
Really surprised Ferrari didn't swap the second and third places.
I wonder if Kimi said no?

 

[apolloa]

And at the beginning Chris Horner Rick Rolled everyone by saying this was a power circuit which is Red Bulls achilles heal!

What a great race.

Can we have more races like this please, you know, where it’s finger nail biting if the leader will actually win as opposed to being a 30 seconds out in front boring snore fest!

 

[zagato27]

Too bad that it wasn't Ferrari 1,2 but ok result. Seb in the lead in the championship by a point. I'll take it. Oh yeah Alonso finishes in the points.
