2019 Chinese Grand Prix - Shanghai, April 12-14

Lightning start from HAM! The lights went out unusually quick, I think it surprised BOT a little.

I think he just had a better start in general, as he had a super start for the formation lap as well.

Interesting that Vettel with DRS on that HUGE straight , only takes 0.2 out of Leclerc in front of him. I thought a 20kph advantage would be massive.

[Juzh]

no one has yet flown past another car on the back straight with drs. quite unexpected to say the least

[mclaren113]

Another race, another ferrari team order!

[dans79]

Oh come on Ferrari team orders already is ridiculous.....

Well, that is done than...

[DVB]

Vettel was only loosing time. Logical thing todo.

Just hope vettel will get a gap now to leclair ^^

[zeph]

Yeah, not so much. Leclerc is keeping up just fine.

[dans79]

Lol, Vettel is pushing super hard just to keep Leclerc behind him.

[cirrusflyer]

Now what!?
Lec seems comfortable, Vet is making mistakes...
Ohhh Ferrari.

I'm really sorry, but if Sebastian Vettel deserves four world titles then I'm an astronaut. I know it's still really early to talk, but for the second time (2014 being the first) he's showing he can't even best a rookie on the same car.

This race reminds me on 2016 season... building hypr around top 3 teams only to Merc win easy 1-2

Except that in 2016 the Ferrari wasn't good at all. Over the last two seasons they apparently had a competitive car but managed to lose on their own.

Aaand Max is getting closer.
He will get Lec with undercut now.

I wonder why both Vet and Lec have been locking up so much. Did they adjust the FW before the race to combat the understeer from quali?
