not a clue to be honest, first time I have really sat and watched a race.
That race was better than 90% of F1 races.

Yeah, same engine, chassis etc.
They are very close to each others. So good to watch. And the overtaking manuvers and sequences was good too
So just different teams and sponsors then. Thanks mate.
cheers , so just down to the driver.
Got to give it to Hamilton, he's one hell of a driver. I don't have a very good feeling about tomorrow with Vettel starting from P4 and Bottas playing hold up in P2.
I'm getting a feeling that the season is over for the 17th time this season.
Should be fun with max coming through the field if it rains 
Be aware cocky english it doesn't finish like in 2015
Shame the rain hasn't stuck around for today. Guessing it'll be a Ferrari 1-2 after lap one with how mega their starts are, given how high the temps are it could be an interesting race behind them after that or it could be a tyre conservation borefest... Probably the latter, usually is in the dry.
Hamilton, Bottas and Kimi on Us, while Vettel on Soft.
Vettel on softs while the others are on super softs.
Not expecting that much in the end.I thought you were not watching
Enjoy the race man
How more hypocrite and childish you can be
Vettel is 3rd after the start.
A good start from Lewis!
Leclerc has to retire.
Good start form vettel, with vettel on soft sand Kimi, Ham and bot on Ultras
Wow! Verstappen has to retire as well. "No power!".
Vettel needs to pass Bottas ASAP or it be an easy win for Hamilton
VSC!
Difficult.
Ricciardo overtakes Alonso to go 11th.
What's Kimi on about?
Raikkonen not having his drink. Ricciardo 10th now.
Can't drink.
Kimi just wants a drink 
Seemed a weirdly protracted convo.
Gonna be difficult for Vettel to win today.
Ricciardo having a great race.
Raikkonen on soft now.
Kimi pitting very early.
Smart call from Ferrari to try and push Bottas into pitting. Cocked it up with the pitstop which should help the mood of one poster.
Edit: Still worked. Mistake from Mercedes, given Vettel the clear air.

Bottas still ahead of Kimi after the pit stop.
Hamilton is flying though. Doubt Vettel will close the gap by much. Bottas getting ahead of Kimi and I think Mercedes gained.
Kimi is flying atm.
Means Vettel can push without worrying about tyres. He doesn't have to close the gap, just keep it close until the final stint where he'll be on the faster tyres. With conditions like this, he needed clear air, the longer he was behind Bottas the less he could push while still sticking with a pit on lap 40 or whatever.
Great overtake from Ricciardo on Magnussen.
Vettel gaining ground on Bottas with older tyres.
