Palmer and Kyviat seems to be more king of the corners than Freeky Fernando.

If Mercedes leave Bottas in front, Vettel will be under no pressure. They're falling back - either Bottas needs to pick up his pace or let Hamilton have a go. Mercedes won't play that card though. Easy win for Vettel coming up.

He was too slow, blocking ricciardo.
Anyone else's live timing froze?

I wouldn't say unsafe, more unfair imo. Whether that's a reliable reason to penalise someone remains to be seen...
Two stroke: a little more than half the power, twice as often.

So who pits again at the front? Could Vettel go all the way on this set of tyres?

they should pit Bottas right now. It will put pressure on Ferrari.
If they pit their late stop advantage will vanish and if they don´t then they will have to pass two mercs.

He needs to switch to a different compound.

If they pit again Seb will be on the slower primes and Lewis the faster supersofts, all we need is a post pit stop safety car and we could have a 2014 dual.

Who cares? If Hamilton messes up they will carry him a bit further with team orders.

Mercedes are a cheating bunch and Hamilton fake pure racer. Mercedes lost Bottas the lead, Ham lost qualifying, lost start, got himself a penalty and started crying for team orders. Ugh.

Vettel has to pit either way as per regs.

Alonso always have the excuses, power not too important IN corners. Skill and chassis...

Alonso was complaining about Kvyat overtaking him on the straight despite being 300m behind him at the beginning of that straight. Nothing to do with corners.
