Go on then Ferrari show us your colours now.

TBH it’s probably DRS masking again.

Man, what an amazing start by Hamilton, but more importantly, what power that Ferrari has on straights/starts. He pretty much had P1 but position was such that it couldn't materialise.

Ferrari again too late with the team orders. Losing time to Verstappen.

Why not try alternative strategy on Vettel? His tires have flatspots from turn one. He would be 5th at worst.

They really need to let Lec try to attack Max this is crazy. Let him through!

Edit: guess my post timing would fit perfectly with Ferrari's strategy haha.

I still hate team orders. That however wasn’t team orders it was just common sense Vettel’s tyre is obviously knackered.

The even-number grid slots seemed to have good rubber laid down compared to the pole side. I wonder if that helped Hamilton's start too, although he did seem to be quicker to react to the lights than Bottas. The tow down to the first corner was evident again and almost gave Seb a crack in to turn 1.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Vettel might be worried his front wing is going to vibrate itself to pieces hence his demands to pit.

Vettel’s problem is that his pace is similar to the cars he need to clear for his pitwindow.

Ferrari are going to have bite the bullet here.

if he ends up in traffic he could lose even more. With their bad S3 sector it would be hard to pass 2 Haases and by the time he passes them eventually tyres are pretty much done. But yeah his current pace is on Haas level with that flatspot

Where are spectators? Main tribunes on finish line are empty and others are 50% full.

Bott-ass have no answers.
It would be prudent to not use such terms regardless of how much one dislikes a driver.
