What a lap from Lewis to get pole, showed nothing in free practise.
Looking forward to a decent race.

Oh well! Just found out Seb is driving with an old engine. That's explain everything.
Suppose they can't swap it now, will cost him down the long straight.
Exactly. He can only get third tomorrow. Forget about winning the race.
Missed the qualifiers. Woke up to see Ferrari losing to Mercedes again. 
Anyone thinks that Vettel can win this race, from fourth? If Hamilton wins this race, the championship is going to swing right in his favour, albeit still a long way to go.

No chance. The third is the best he can hope.Missed the qualifiers. Woke up to see Ferrari losing to Mercedes again.

Two pretty special pole laps in a row from Lewis. Encouraging that he turned it around after looking a bit shaky in practice too. Think the Ferraris will be right up there in the race but the main hope is that it's not as dull as last year.
C4 coverage is painful to watch.
C'mon Ferrari!
Raikkonen and Bottas clash!
Bottas and Kimi make contact.
Vettel up to second , Bottas looks out of it already.

What a messy start.
Bottas has fecked up.
Vettel is 2nd.
Long pit stop for Bottas. He changes his tyres as well.
Only strategy can win this race for Vettel. He's not catching Lewis with that old engine.
Hamilton is having no problem in leading the race.
Pretty clumsy from Bottas. Don't think Mercedes will be happy with him gifting Vettel points.
looks like barring mistake or mechanical fault, this race is Lewis's race.
Finishing 2nd would be good for Vettel, considering he is driving with an old engine.
OK Lewis might not have it all his own way , Vettel is catching him up.
No action for Bottas , right I think.

Fastet lap for Seb!
Verstappen to retire!
Max having engine problem.
I like Max , he is a very good driver , but his car is dog shit the past few races.
Feck it, I'm taking max out for next race.
SC is out
SF.
free pit stops for Lewis and Seb, race till the end for them now.
Hamilton and Vettel both stop.
The SC should help Bottas out, he could gain quite a few places now.
Max is out by the looks of it.
who is driving the SC, is he known ?
Zero luck for Max this year. Plays into Vettel's hands, a potential rival out and he gets a run at Lewis into turn one.
Bernd Mayländer
Cheers. I should have known that really.
FFS they are not fast in getting rid of cars at this track.
C'mon! We want to see the race!
Kimi not too happy at Bottas. 
come on get the SC in this is boring now.
