Wheres Hamilton
Lewis out 
Hamilton KO 
Shakabooie. Jesus H Christ.
wow Hamilton out? when was the last time that happened?
What the feck
Well done
Scenes!!
Hamilton driving around with an anvil in the back, that is mega slow in a straight line.
Wow
Brazil 2017 apparently
You over estimated Hamilton and underestimated Russell
Lewis does have an off day every once in a while and here it is.
Terrible that.. hopefully with the new regs he can follow closely and get a few overtakes. Merc have real trouble though
Very concerning. Something is wrong at mercedes, whether its the engine, the philosophy of the design or them taking their eyes off the ball. They also are 1 of 2 teams who haven't brought upgrades to this race. Serious problems going on.
Seems something off to be that far behind Russell.
Goodness me.
Something drastically wrong with that Mercedes car. And you have to say, the power unit as well. They are really struggling with the lack of wind tunnel testing aren't they.

Wow, im eating a slice of humble pie right now. Never expected that. Something very wrong with that car. Too draggy? Or having to raise the ride height for qually and the race mean the downforce losses are just too much?
They just need to admit that engine isn’t the business, a second off a Red Bull on the straight!
I think Mercedes may have peaked at Bahrain, that engine will kill them this season.

mERcEDES Are SAndBAGginG
Nah, straight line speed seems to be the issue. Doubt it’s got anything to do with Lewis.
Russell was 'fine', though
Different setups probably.
Why is Russel so far ahead of him?
Different setup clearly. But even Russell was not that quick.
What about McLaren? Drop the Honda engine, it becomes good. Drop the Renault engine, it becomes ok. Adopt the Mercedes engine, it's trash now.
Glorious
Only potential way lewis can save the weekend and get p10 is with safety cars. Probably take even more wing off the car for the race.
Hamilton apologised on the radio - maybe he just had a bad lap when the tyres were in the window and that was that.
hamilton was 7 tenths down on russell in sector one right before the red flag. He has been behind russell at every turn in
q1
If he did a setup different to Russell he may as well pit lane start it and do a total setup change. He won’t do nothing from 16th in that car.
Yeah - he was struggling in FP3 too.
He is getting older, only natural that we see a quick decline eventually as his senses are decreasing by the year. I’m 36, I don’t see or hear as well as I did when I was 22, life’s a bitch.
Heavy crash Mick
Mick terrible crash
Big one for Mick there
OOof. this was bound to happen..
It's is going to be a bad race to watch..
