RBR 1-2, I bet.
It looks like it could happen. What a fight between Ricciardo and Bottas, awesome!
I cant imagine it'll take long for Ricciardo to despatch Bottas, especially as Bottas seems to be struggling with the new aero package.

Hell, Vettel's tires must be fried by now. Ricciardo is defending like a boss. With a little help from Alonso.

Ferrari were perhaps a little too optimistic about the supersoft's durability.

Supersofts have lasted 30 laps so it was logic but for some reason Vettel has burned their tyres, what a pity. Great Job by Ricciardo.

It wasn't a mercedes track after all. It would have been a whitewash had ferrari not nuked themselves.

WTF happened with Vettel there...

He blames Stroll, but from his onboard it looked like he cut him off...

Vettel has been hit by Stroll. Complete destruction of the rear. Most likely, gear box change for next GP.

Haha what the hell happened! I don't think stroll was at fault for that, there was no extreme turn, just drifting over to the marbles. Inb4 more engine damage

To me its quite clear Vettel and Kimi would have likely finished ahead of Hamilton... easily.
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
