There`s 42 degrees Celsius on the track and that`s sound good news for the ... tyre :mrgreen:
And Toto presumed on Sky that a Ferrari driver will have a go at the start ...

If for nothing else we’ll at least get some action with VET and BOT picking apart the field.

Vettel didn't miss judge, he outbreaked himself.

Exactly. Bottas did a good job blocking Vettel, who braked too late. The worst thing is that we loose a great battle between Vettel and the Mercedes. Hamilton has an easy victory in hands.

It seems the stewards disagree.

+5s for causing a collision for Vettel.

The amount of times we’ve seen Verstappen get away with zero penalty for running into people - that Vettel penalty is HARSH.

Please tell me your are not trying to make out that Vettel is being hard done by with regard to the stewards after previous situations. :wtf:

Boneheaded by Vettel. He had the tyres to get him later in the lap...

Vettel gets a non-penalty and is within distance of the leaders once they stop and Bottas struggles with a damaged car ... what a joke

All Ferrari powered cars letting Vettel go without a fight

Vettel deserved the penalty. Anyways, this French GP more like the older races in Canada. Overtaking better this weekend
Always find the gap then use it.
