It`ll be interesting to see how Honda cars are performing, particularly RB ones, knowing the new fuel let them race in higher power modes for longer during the race ...

I have a sneaky feeling Lewis isn't bothered by this race. He is going to be happy to follow Valterri home.

reason is, is he beats Bottas here today, then its very very likely that Hamilton will win the WDC in Mexico.

If he has a couple of races following Bottas home, then he will very likely win the WDC in the US.

Much more to his liking for a WDC party celebration.
Hahahaha.. =D>

Vettel looked to be very happy after q. To me it looked like he had the smile of a man who had his mojo back, and not just a pole.

Unbelievable no black flag for Leclerc with bits actually flying off his car. Hamilton has had to swerve to avoid debris a couple of times.

Sorry that needs to be a panalty. By not coming in he has actively caused another driver to lose a frigging wing mirror.

I don't understand why Leclerc pitted after the endplate had already fallen. He wasn't losing any time.

Regarding Charles vs Max, that's good for Max, when he wins races pushing people off he's a hero, it's time he tastes of his own medicine.

Verstappen getting upset with the taste of his own medicine there.

Also, clearly it’s ok to jump the start with no punishment now? Seems to be the rule in the last few races.

It’s not because Raikkonen got pinged for exactly that this season IIRC.

Don’t think he did. Someone did it in Sochi with no punishment if I recall correctly?

As far as I know there's a rule where you don't get a penalty if the wheels don't make a full turn. Maybe that's what happened.
