I see Lewis being aggressive enough to either crash out in this race or make it into the top 5. Its going to be a banzai.

Crashing after winning his title? That will start talks that he really switches off after winning titles. Hamilton is more professional than that now.
Always find the gap then use it.

Lets hope so for Lewis sake.

Another day for Ferrari though, Kimi's car has issues on the grid.

My predictions for this race:
_Both Red Bulls will retire as well as other Renault powered cars
_Vettel will win with Bottas second and Lewis on the last step of the podium
_more shenanigans from PerezxOcon

If Hamilton goes for a 2 stop strategy (It would be good aggression) then in which position should he be for his first stop?
I think he'll go for a 1-stop. Long first and short stint towards the end or short first stint and long second stint.

Bottas far too nice into turn one, broke early and didn't try and squeeze

All these things Liberty want to do to improve F1 - why don’t they try sorting out the timing!

At the start of the year we had those nice micro sectors in quali, today we’re not even seeing the gaps updating by micro sector in the race. Annoying.

And why do the graphics/sky keep saying these are lap records?

Lap record 1:11.473 (Colombia Juan Pablo Montoya, Williams-BMW FW26, 2004)

We’re not there just yet - maybe by the end.

[edit: finally the graphics catch up]

[edit2: and now Max gets the lap record]

This one was basically one big *ss qualifying session for Hamilton. Full power and some traffic to navigate for 70+ laps.
Great job by Vettel in the second phase of the start, cruise mode after that.

Bottas needs to up his game otherwise Ricciardo may get it.

Edit: also worth pointing out how much better the starts are these days, way tougher for the drivers to get that perfect start.

I love how much the team fvcked Hamilton with the Stroll/Grosjean fight. If you were going to pit him one lap after anyway, why didn't you do it one lap earlier and save 2 seconds. Retards. Williams used to do this (muck up timing) a lot with Damon Hill back in the day. Anyway, he threw away the win yesterday and the most that was going to happen was 3rd.
