[Zaru]

Poor Ricciardo. The Australian curse is real.

Also I'm getting the premonition that a safety car will close the gap at the front or something.

 

[Tubie]

I'm gonna fucking lose it if this causes a safety car.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Ugh NBCSN's stream on sling is all messed up. Only gotten a minute of racing in the past 15 minutes.

 

[Rolfgang]

Same problem as with Palmer?

 

[Shaneus]

"Let's get the fuck out of here".

Poor guy

 

[Chuck]

RBR doesn't deserve Danny.

 

[Tubie]

Holy shit that car just turned completely off.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Please I just hope that we don't have a safety car. Would ruin Alonso glorious performance.

 

[Draconian]

Sounds about right.

 

[Rahvar]

Palmer was break. Danny seems to be the gear box

Bottas gaining on Hamilton.

 

[Shaneus]

Wow, Bo77as taking chunks out of Hamilton? Has he pitted?

 

[Zaru]

Bottas gaining hard on Hamilton? What's going on?

 

[Razgreez]

Race for first over

 

[PdotMichael]

Bottas beating Hamilton would be glorious.

 

[DrM]

What a mess by Mercedes

Going in full Ferrari mode

 

[Lionel Richie]

Bottas having a decent race thus far.

 

[Rolfgang]

Ferrari dominance this year has begun.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Vettel is already 6 seconds ahead of Hamilton. That's impressive.

 

[Chris R]

Race for first over

It was over when Hammy couldn't get past Max, even with the better car.

Poor Jenson, he'd be world champ with how well he treats tires if he was driving a Merc or Ferrari this year.

 

[Ark]

Cue Paddy Lowe laughing in the background.

 

[Rahvar]

Speculation is that Bottas is aiming for 2 stops while VET and Ham are saving tires for 1 stop

 

[PdotMichael]

It would be nice to know what is Bottas role in the team, if he is really allowed to fight Lewis in the race.

 

[John_B]

Great job by Mercedes there, handing the win to Vettel and Ferrari.

 

[Zaru]

Red overtaking orange and pink cost Vettel half a second.
I'm enjoying this live timing on the F1 app.

 

[Tubie]

I want Alonso to join Merc just to see a battle between him and Hamilton again lol.

That would be such a shitshow with this Mercedes team.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Speculation is that Bottas is aiming for 2 stops while VET and Ham are saving tires for 1 stop

No way. One-stop all the way.

 

[DrM]

Otherwise, very few on track overtakes and if this will go on, then we will have very very boring races this year

 

[dakun]

It's as if raikkonen doesn't exist. You'd think he got last years engine

 

[Zeknurn]

Brundle and Crofty complaining about blue flags, take a drink.

 

[Zaru]

Otherwise, very few on track overtakes and if this will go on, then we will have very very boring races this year

Right now I'm VERY excited about how this race turns out, even with no overtakes, so I'm good

 

[Tubie]

Don't be surprised if Hamilton has to pit again.

 

[Aiii]

Otherwise, very few on track overtakes and if this will go on, then we will have very very boring races this year

You must be new to watching the AUS GP.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

So Dutch commentator Olav Mol says that it's confirmed that Merc added extra oil to the fuel to get hammertime boost.

 

[Xando]

Otherwise, very few on track overtakes and if this will go on, then we will have very very boring races this year

So like every year in australia?

 

[tomtom94]

Croft: "We should get rid of blue flags"
Brundle: "That's a terrible idea because *reasons*"
Croft: "We should do it anyway"

 

[Ark]

David Croft needs to shut the fuck up.

No one wants to see the battle for first ruined by a misplaced Sauber.

Don't we have this convo every year?

 

[Spades]

Croft: "We should get rid of blue flags"

I hate that Edwards is on C4 and Brundle on SS - wish they were partnered.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Don't we have this convo every year?

Last few years were actually quite exciting when it comes to actual racing.

 

[Juicy Bob]

David Croft needs to shut the fuck up.

Exactly.

It's such a shallow viewpoint that you think someone who is heavily involved in the sport would realise after a few seconds thought.

 

[Kalor]

Just a couple of laps until Bottas is caught up.

 

[Rahvar]

HAM back on Plan A because tires are good. Seema Plan B was a 2-stopper then?

Also, appearently RIC engine died

 

[Arc07]

Is there a Sunhi clip of angry Toto yet???

 

[dakun]

So will they let Bottas go for p2?

 

[Zaru]

Kimi is 22 seconds behind after 37 laps. That's almost as bad a pace gap as during qualifying.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Bottas is closing the gap. is he going to do 2 stops?

 

[Xando]

Wonder how they handle Bottas vs Hamilton

Bottas is closing the gap. is he going to do 2 stops?

Nah he's on softs and pitted in lap 25 or something
