Wait correct me if I'm wrong, but Kimi accelerated real quick = tyres doing their job, right? But then it's like Merc and Ferrari both somehow reach "terminal" velocity. Is that because of greater acceleration in the Merc's higher gears or all down to tyres? Basically I was expecting Kimi to go farther than he got if he got off so well and accelerated so quickly.

Kimi always shows potential, but never delivers fully when it matters. It was a perfect start, but then he lost 2 places in just one turn.

EDIT: It was Verstappen who touched Kimi and therefore overtook.

Kimi looks like he was driving for his seat. Why can't he do that all season?

Magnusson has started to impress.

I just knew McLaren would screw over Honda again. Gasly is clearly compromised due to Vandoorne crashing into him. That should be a penalty.

Man, what's with the obnoxious 3D F1 logo in the middle of the field on one of the shots? Way to ruin such a beautiful landscape ...

The Ferrari's launch map is obviously the best on the grid. Both Kimi and Seb get great acceleration off the line.

Oh no! poor Bottas - terrible luck again!

VSC - might this throw up some interest?

Should Mercedes have brought in Hamilton for the tyre change too? Maybe a bad decision?
