I really feel for Seb... cannot seem to get a break. That is a very odd failure to have, don't think I've seen anything like that before. Yes, I've seen brake failures, but nothing quite like that.

Bottas seems to be spending more time looking behind him.

NOR looks like he’s in trouble. Don’t know why he can’t keep up with his teammate
Team ANTI-HYPE. Prove it, then I’ll anoint you.

If Ricciardo goes long here (As he often does) he could well gift McLaren and possibly Racing Point podiums. The Renault is quick in a straight line so passing him is going to be a pain.

This race is going to be one boring procession. The lack of ICE mode options in the race means that drivers cannot use any overtake mode to get a temporary increase in ICE power, the cars still cannot follow close enough to get in a position to pass, and the small rear wings reduce the tow effect, meaning that DRS is less effective.
Now I am hearing that Valtteri Bottas is running hot because he is in a train of cars.
The racing this season has become even worse. We have only one team that can win.

So Merc choose an engine setting so high that your engine overheats in traffic? :P

I can see them doing a 180 turn on this new engine rule.

If HAM has an issue, it will be wide open for a stunning McLaren win! :wink:

How so? Don't use full throttle, short shift, put bigger cooling outlets. Not the FIA's fault for F1 teams being greedy on power unit reliability. :wink:

David Croft has just done it again. Albion passes LeClerc and Croft acts as if it’s the other way around. He did the same thing numerous times last week too.

If Renault are confident that overtaking is impossible, then come in now and stick on the mediums and block to the end of the race I say!

Leclerc getting gapped by Raikkonen.

If I were the CEO of Ferrari, I would fire every single team member, manager and director; start over fresh by hiring everyone I could from Mercedes, McLaren and Red Bull. This is disgraceful for the budget they have.

Safety car?

What a joke. Again trying to influence the Mercedes dominance up front.

Why no VSC???

:roll: As if that would help...

And... Safety car, everyone pits! :D

McLarens stay out -- weird. Interesting plan?
