Valtteri Bottas started from pole position, and calmly finished the race, keeping Hamilton at bay, despite continuing pressure. Together, they made for the 4th 1-2 finish for Mercedes this season. Sebastian Vettel settled for third.
Yes I agree. Just pointing out that he did reverse onto the track, which I thought was actually an infraction but I guess it was safe.NathanOlder wrote: ↑27 Apr 2019, 15:49Hamilton being in the run off meant Vettels lap was gone anyway.

I haven't seen any reversing onto the track, only the applicable spin round or multipoint turn. Also rules differ between FP's and Qualy and finally the race. I have not seen FP1 of FP2. I presume you're Hamilton sensative.
Ah ok, seems a bit odd though, If Gasly gets in, then surely it makes sense to help Max get further up the grid without losing anything for Gasly. No other team can have that luxury. So might as well exploit itispano6 wrote: ↑27 Apr 2019, 15:54Actually Horner said Gasly would not assist Verstappen with a tow.
Maybe they just need to validate their race pace set up? Gasly looked mighty, looking forward to seeing him dice through the field. The Toro Rosso's seem to have some pace too.
Does this help or hinder Vettel ? Must be some big pressure off, but at the same time big pressure on. Vettel has to deliver now.
He doesn't look on it so far, I think the car is capable of pole position. Also he's alone in the race tomorrow.NathanOlder wrote: ↑27 Apr 2019, 16:02Does this help or hinder Vettel ? Must be some big pressure off, but at the same time big pressure on. Vettel has to deliver now.
