Lewis is gonna stay out and explode his tyres.

 

[Line_HTX]

Hamilton pulling desperation moves.

Damn, his tires are losing grip.

 

[Psychotext]

Understeer all over the place.

 

[DrM]

Kvyatt should be thrilled with 3rd place, his home race is next

 

[Paradise Brunch]

Lewis locking up everywhere...

 

[Konosuke]

Ham locking tires all over the place lol

 

[ramparter]

He is struggling for 8 points, I think he should just retire and go have a word with the strategists.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Who's got the best car for Russia then?

 

[brotkasten]

Vettel pulling away a little from Kvyat. 6 laps to go.

 

[Juicy Bob]

It's like Lewis is the player and everyone else has AI level tyre wear.

 

[nny]

I'm about to jinx this, but...

...no retirements so far.

 

[Pryce]

#blessed will never be the same.

Damn that Codemasters!

 

[DrM]

Nico just keeping the safe distance

He is struggling for 8 points, I think he should just retire and go have a word with the strategists.

This 8 points could be worth a lot in the end

Nico will also run into gremlins for sure

 

[FuturusX]

Balance is all wrong with car for sure. But Lewis will be back. The poor luck won't last all season.

 

[Psychotext]

Go on Rosberg, throw it off the track. lol

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I think this is the first time I saw Rosberg in this rave.

 

[Aiii]

Disapointed in Sainz, he was close to the top 3 at one point at the start of the race. And still he drops off to tenth. Can't really determine why he isn't further ahead.

 

[brotkasten]

Kvyatt should be thrilled with 3rd place, his home race is next

I'd be happier for him, if it wasn't the result of Ferrari fucking the start up.

Still great, great race from everyone.

 

[ramparter]

Nah he will still grab the title a few races before the end.. I think.. I don't know.. after today I 'm starting to believe the Illuminati have decided to hand the wdc to Nico.

 

[Line_HTX]

Kvyat doing pretty well this race.

 

[Shaneus]

Nah Kvyat is too far away. I think the team also wouldn't want them to fight and possibly crash each other.

My only thought is RBR wanting to protect Danny's third in the WDC. But I think he's probably pretty safe anyway. Great WCC points haul for RBR though.

Not so sure about that. Hamilton this year has the pit crew Rosberg had in 2015. So ... yeah ...

Lewis was quite lucky to escape serious suspension damage when he slammed into Nasr

 

[ramparter]

I'm about to jinx this, but...

...no retirements so far.

And no wheels going off..!!

 

[Aiii]

16 races to go, plenty of time to catch up.

 

[Line_HTX]

Wheels and wings have stopped tearing off and no retirements. I'd say this Chinese Grand Prix has been mostly fun.

 

[DrM]

16 races to go, plenty of time to catch up.

18 if I counted correctly

 

[Aiii]

18

Typo. Indeed.

 

[darkinstinct]

McLaren always seems like they made progress and are at the top for the first half of the race and then they just disappear and end up where they were last season. Car is built for one tyre and on all others the performance is disturbingly bad.

 

[Line_HTX]

Kind of sucks that Haas hasn't had much to go on the whole day.

Better luck next race.

 

[brotkasten]

Guys, Nico is so lucky to make it home. They almost had to retire the car.

 

[frontieruk]

Didnt you see how he had to save it after he dozed off???

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Good job Bottas.

 

[Line_HTX]

Bottas, what was that?

 

[darkinstinct]

Guys, Nico is so lucky to make it home. They almost had to retire the car.

Yes, he almost fell asleep.

 

[Aiii]

Based Verstappen beating Sainz like a drum again, where our nature boy at.

 

[RoKKeR]

Wow Bottas...

Decent defensive driving from Massa today.

They were just lucky. The way oher cars were passing them, for me they are eaxactly where their pace is right now. They can beat easily Sauber, Renault, Manor, they may fight Haas and Force India but that's it.

 

[Draconian]

Guys, Nico is so lucky to make it home. They almost had to retire the car.

I'm not sure if this is or more or less silly than McLaren hyping their upgrade at Spain every year.

 

[brotkasten]

It was insane. Vettel almost got him, when it happened. The race for P1 is super competitive, just like Toto, Lauda and Lowe are saying.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Saddens me that Nico will probably not get the credit he deserves for six wins in a row.

Yes, he's not had to fight tooth-and-nail for each and every one of them, but then neither did Hamilton or Vettel or Schumacher during some of their lengthy win streaks.

 

[FuturusX]

NBC relaying information form Mercedes that Lewis has an issue with his car.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Romain just wants to get to his birthday party already.

 

[Danielsan]

Poor Sainz. This can't be good for his mental state.

 

[Tubie]

Grats to Rosberg, and incredible race for Vettel.

 

[Line_HTX]

That slowing down cruising. That gap was huge.

 

[Pryce]

Great bounceback from Vettel and Kimi today.

 

[Milchjon]

Schland!

 

[brotkasten]

Credit to Ferrari for making the softs last that long.
