Sloppy fucking driving all over the place.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Senstational start, lol

 

[chadskin]

What is happening lol

 

[Kuros]

Amazingly bad driving from half the field. :lol

 

[MrKaepora]

I'm loving this start.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Button in the points.

 

[brotkasten]

There goes Sainz. Must be Max' fault, somehow.

 

[Sajuuk]

come on hass!

 

[Xirj]

This is a Jeb Bush of a race.

 

[Kahoona]

Man, you can tell how green half the drivers are...

 

[Xando]

Alonso not driving for one race and everybody goes crazy

 

[Aiii]

Poor Sainz.

 

[DrM]

That Mercedes is tank

 

[Graphics Horse]

Never seen a sidewall come off like that

 

[Zaru]

Am I watching a GP3 race?

 

[hamchan]

At least this is an exciting start!

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Alonso will be able to win at this rate.

 

[navanman]

GP2 like terribad driving so far.

 

[olore]

GP 5 level racing

 

[spuckthew]

Does Hamilton actually have damage? Back up to 7th.. Confused.

 

[tomtom94]

Mercedes now watching Sainz's pace very closly indeed.

 

[Ruruja]

Rosberg did that loooong hold out of Hamilton again (I think he did it at the previous race), it worked but one race someone's going to slip up the inside of Nico.

 

[nature boy]

Great Sainz's race fucked.

 

[NHale]

Nico broke so much at the first corner hoping Lewis would be overtaken. Britney seems to be growing some balls after all.

 

[brotkasten]

Man, I'm still livid. Fucking Ferrari, seriously.

 

[Chris R]

Hammy shouldn't have attended the "Webber Start School" last offseason smh

 

[navanman]

Bottas should get punished for that, no way he was going to make the corner

 

[kmag]

Does Hamilton actually have damage? Back up to 7th.. Confused.

His car ride height looks weird, but he's probably got permission to actually open up to counter instead of running at "lets give the illusion of competitiveness" Mercedes default.

 

[nny]

Bottas flying start

 

[djplaeskool]

Parts flying everywhere

 

[Deaf Spacker]

WTF was Bottas doing?!

 

[Stop It]

Bottas should get punished for that, no way he was going to make the corner

Nah. Stupid mistake but this is a racing incident.

That said, someone forgot to say to the drivers this is a non contact sport. As wow, they were all hitting each other.

 

[tomtom94]

I think that's more of a racing incident, Hamilton just didn't expect Bottas to be there.

EDIT: Hamilton gets past Grosjean, great, thanks TV director

 

[Zeknurn]

Rofl Bottas. Maldonado is proud.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Maybe this is a Pastor Maldonado tribute race.

 

[DrM]

Bottas thought that Kimi is in front

 

[Aiii]

Getting rid of the double clutch was a great change. Kudos for that one, FIA.

 

[Diablohead]

GP 5 level racing

come on now, those first two laps were touring car standards.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Gee. Hamilton was "lucky". Almost got a punctured.

Bottas must be investigated. I think he overdid it.

 

[Xando]

Watch Hamilton win with a 30s lead to the 3rd.

 

[Ark]

Yeah, that was a bone-headed move by Bottas.

 

[tomtom94]

Prediction: Hamilton is now going to get stuck because Raikkonen won't be able to overtake Ricciardo.

EDIT: lol

 

[Lima]

Mercedes faster than everyone else even with a damaged car.

Gee. Hamilton was "lucky". Almost got a punctured.

Bottas must be investigated. I think he overdid it.

Nah that is text book race incident. Especially considering that corner.

 

[NHale]

Getting rid of the double clutch was a great change. Kudos for that one, FIA.

No worries they will probably go back for the next race.

 

[Zeknurn]

Getting rid of the double clutch was a great change. Kudos for that one, FIA.

Combined with the nanny engineer radio clampdown yeah.

 

[Pryce]

Pls Kimi.

 

[spuckthew]

Bottas has made similar mistakes, notably against Kimi, so I just don't think his race craft is up to scratch.

 

[aspiegamer]

Gee. Hamilton was "lucky". Almost got a punctured.

Bottas must be investigated. I think he overdid it.

It's downright miraculous he wasn't t-boned, and that somehow he saved the car to face forward. That and the car is apparently a tank.

Bottas can fuck off. That's some Maldonado-level of awful.

 

[Zaru]

Prediction: Hamilton is now going to get stuck because Raikkonen won't be able to overtake Ricciardo.

EDIT: lol

Lol indeed

 

[MrKaepora]

I don't think it's his fault. He hits the brakes but the rear wheels blocked and Hamilton didn't seem to have the will to give him room.

Neverthless, these germans really don't build cars they build tanks.
