About Kimi; I find it particularly amusing, given they were on the radio to Kimi as if he was racing Lewis, when in fact he was being held out for the sole purpose of holding up Bottas.

like "hey, Hamilton isn't comfortable with the tires" - yet he was catching up from behind and was 13 seconds behind (starting at 21).
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Hopefully Phil. Looks like Danny has the pace to hold him off though. You need at least 1second a lap to be able to pass without too much trouble. Currently only 1 tenth in hams favour. What happened to the rain??
I think it may still work thanks to the double DRS zone?

Depends on who's overtaking who. If it's merc vs renault, then it will be easy, if it's the other way around, there's zero chance.

Damnit, Perez ruined it. :roll:

PS: Ferrari may want another inquiry into Bottas race start. Speculation on ORF.

Wow what a finish, unbelievable pressure from Seb at the end, well done Valteri. Great damage limitation for Lewis considering he started 8th, only lost 6 points to Seb today.

Surprised not to have heard Vettel send some of that red mist over the radio.
Really hoping to hear "Move backpackers, MOVE, ******* **** Perez blocked me!!!" So the media had some good content to broadcast in the after show.

Also, what is Vettel drinking in that can? Is it a Redbull with the label peeled off? Perhaps....

It's not a jump start, because Vettel hit Hamilton last race and got away with it.

F1 is broken. It's like a football referee trying to fix a previous mistake with another one.
Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.

So Hamilton's car was setup for SS. On US the car is now too pointy.
He had major balance issues in qually when he switched from SS(after an amazing Q2 lap) to US. His engineer is just not getting the job done when it comes to anticipating the balance change between different tire types.

Vandoorne gets a drive through, for not getting out of the way fast enough?! How harsh is that! Same penalty as Kvyat got for eliminating 2 guys out of the race. Yet, Perez didn't get any penalty, while clearly holding up Bottas.

What a joke this is!
stewarding has been worse than a joke for a very long time, if not always.

This is brilliant! Bottas able to win 2 cliffhangers. This man has pedigree.
Always find the gap then use it.
