This is apparently a reason why they needed a change

Be nice to know how many laps that set has done, which is what really matters. Considering they do a warmup lap and burnouts, I'm fairly certain this would not have been an issue.

They have to be similarly aged replacements, don’t they? So presumably no ‘unfair’ advantage. He might have a lap less in them at most.

There’s a lot more elevation change on that straight than you might think from the regular camera shots.

Can you feel it? The tension in the air? That is emotional content, there's no anger, or any silly sentimentality, everyone is ready. Everyone is serious everyone has that intensity to fight. That is emotional content, they are fully engaged and involved in the process.

The Alpha Tauris really did have a superb qualifying, didn’t they.

Starting tyre sets

According to the live timing Verstappen's starting tyres are one lap old, so that's a massive advantage, if true

[djones]

One lap old replacements. That’s pretty unfair for all the other drivers.

[El Scorchio]

But then to be fair so would having to start on tyres with pain on them!

Is Paul de Resta a fanboy of someone or is it just me

[El Scorchio]

Very good clean first lap.

LeClerc looks like a cork in the bottle here.

Go on Lewis!

Yeah, that was a good job from Hamilton. Did what he had to do. Verstappen really needs to get past LeClerc here. Hamilton not really pulling away though but far enough ahead in the right places.
