Superb race if you ignore the dull fest at the front. A good season so far.
I don't believe for one second Kimi's car is deliberately made to have problems as that can easily cost them the Constructors. Same with Hamilton last year, it really is IMO just bad luck.

But Kimi is just so miserable, don't understand it he's young, wealthy, drives a Ferrari and is surrounded by beautiful girls.

Just smile Kimi......please.

Best part of the race was Captain Picard doing a Shoey. If I was Danny Ric I would have made him say "Make it so" when he asked if he wanted to do one

He's not miserable, he's just simply Ice-Man :)

Did anyone catch the news that Petronas are pulling out of sponsoring F1?
Understandable considering the Malaysian GP is no longer on the calendar.
Nothing on any websites yet or was this just EJ being EJ;)?

I doubt Mercedes will have any problem securing another big sponsor. There should be a queue lining up

Haven’t seen that to be honest. But I haven’t watched a lot of coverage this weekend and when I do it’s through Sky. I did manage to catch Qualifying though and that final effort from LH was another lap on the scale of pole he did in Montreal. Only this time it was a go big or go home effort.

Race should be interesting in a bit. At least here there are places to overtake unlike Monaco which is a bit of a gamble.

As long as LH gets a good start then I reckon he will disappear off into the distance and control the race from the front.

If Vettel does have decent race pace then we may see a good battle between the two. But I doubt it as he has an old engine which is down on power.

Been an eventful race so far. More of a demolition derby and Vettel needs to pay attention!

Good drive from Bottas from last to take second just as they crossed the chequered flag line.

And a 10 second stop go for Vettel's deliberate side-swiping action was not anywhere near enough.
It should have been an automatic disqualification.

Umble.
