Williams easy 1-2? Look at the advantage they have over the rest of the field. Only 5 other drivers bothered to set a laptime as everyone else knew they don't have a change, so why risk anything?

I wonder if teams could use ideal braking points by GPS in the rain? It could come up similar to rev limit lights on the dashboard... only in the rain though
Always find the gap then use it.

This is why I asked. Q will be a mess.

I really wonder how on earth were the drivers able to race 20,30 years ago with their barbaric machines which were like raging beasts on dry track allready, in 2017 with all the technology available drivers complain and aint able to drive without screams on the radio that its undriveable.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

You are aware everyone was circulating by the start if his flying lap right? You are aware everyone had 'tyre tracks' to ride in by then right?

Unless you think only Bottas' tyres tracks have a magical effect.

This isn't sarcasm BTW I'm asking genuine questions.

No, just that Bottas was in next in line in front of Hamilton.

Touchy.

It always sounds like Grosjean is working for a future drive after Haas. He seems to complain and blame his team for everything. When it finally is his team's fault then I for one don't care anymore. I think he would make an irritating champion if he drives for a dominant team.

Not being touchy. You just seem to not understand that by the time the drivers were circulating for their flying laps the racing line had been cleared as much as it could for everyone. In fact it could easily be argued that Hamilton himself had helped clear the line for other behind him and guess what? He was 2 seconds faster than anyone else.

How about you give credit where it's deserved?
