Soooo close for LH! But still a great result for the team.
Bottas is really mighty in this circuit, I think LH would be OK with 2nd place here.

Start will be interesting, Vettel had such a better get away in France, but you can't really block him like Mercedes did there. It's a short run to Turn 1 though.

I reckon Vettel will be P2 out of the first corner as he is on the clean side and has been pretty good off the grid all season.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Vettel made a mistake in the lap, it was very close, it'll be even closer in the race because Mercedes will have to manage tires but not fuel where as Ferrari has to manage fuel but not tires.

Mercedes look strong and upgrades looking well but wouldn’t say season is over. Ferrari will have upgrades to come.
Ferrari race pace will be good too.

Definitely think Vettel has a good chance of getting Hamilton off the line.

Let’s hope for a good clean race.

Impressive qualifying from Grosjean, outpacing one of the Bulls.

No there wasn't any mistake in last lap. Ferrari is consistently loosing up to 2,3 tenths in the last sector. They will be murdered in Silver

Bottas broke the track record last year and again this year.

So Dany Ric tried to break the protocol in the last moment and wanted Max to go first to get the toe? For which Max refused.

He was a bit wide in one corner, but that was 1 tenths at most, probably half that. There was no way they were gonna beat mercedes today.

Why's that? Ferrari is on the softest tyres.

Finally.
They have returned.
I hope the rest of the season will be dominate by Mercedes.
So everybody could be happy of a boring WDC.
But hey.
It's better than a competitive Ferrari.
:D
