Ricciardo is so Webber'd. Future #2 driver for sure.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

How is Hamilton not creating a gap???

This isn't last year's Merc.

 

[Rolfgang]

Jesus, that gap between Max and Ric.

 

[Nyx]

Nice move by Verstappen. Quite aggressive, but nice to see.

He overtakes so good, like business as usual. Seemingly without any stress.

 

[Aiii]

Ricciardo is so Webber'd. Future #2 driver for sure.

Bit too early still, but these first two races have definitely been advantage VER.

 

[Zeknurn]

Kimi needs to get out of the way.

 

[spuckthew]

How is Hamilton not creating a gap???

At this stage I'd guess that he's driving to a delta, haven't seen anything to suggest he's struggling(?)

 

[herod]

Where was RB hiding all this pace?

conditions are neutralising engine perf variations, rbr aero package is clearly good

 

[Zaru]

Ham showing that he's got that gap covered.

I'd believe you if it was wet, but it's just cold and dry

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Hamilton did the fastest lap. Come Lewis. Hammer time.

 

[JDB]

Jesus, that gap between Max and Ric.

Surely he's just trying to hold up the Ferraris, right?

 

[Zeknurn]

It's a shame to see Ricciardo struggling this badly. His setup must be off.

 

[Aiii]

Hamilton did the fastest lap. Come Lewis. Hammer time.

Fuck that, Max is winning this. He has to.

 

[Nyx]

Surely he's just trying to hold up the Ferraris, right?

For RIC I hope that is the case.

 

[Danielsan]

Hoping for some minor drizzle. Praying to the rain gods.

 

[Hana-Bi]

Where was RB hiding all this pace?

Well, they have the faster tires.

 

[TylerD]

Kimi needs to get out of the way.

+1

Max's start was so good

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Bottas is nowhere to be seen.

 

[Zaru]

Well, they have the faster tires.

Oh... I forgot about this.

 

[jey_16]

Kimi, just let Vettel through

 

[Pryce]

Vettel needs to get by Kimi.

 

[Danielsan]

Bottas still at p10 is so embarrassing.

 

[Xando]

Race control drunk or did Hulk overtake 10 cars during VSC and SC?

 

[JDB]

Bottas is nowhere to be seen.

I was just wondering how he has barely made up any positions yet. You've got a goddamn Mercedes, how are you stuck in midfield?

 

[G-Unit]

Prfff 2nd drivers disappointing

 

[Tubie]

zzz

 

[Aiii]

Vettel should be overtaking Kimi.

 

[John_B]

I don't get how Vettel got away with lining up the way he did. Pretty sure Hamilton got a warning for doing something similar not that long ago.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Bottas still at p10 is so embarrassing.

10 with a Mercedes is so embarrassing.

 

[Zaru]

I wonder how much time the Ricciardo train is costing Vettel.

 

[brotkasten]

How are none of the Ferrari overtaking the car in front of them. What the hell.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Great lap by Hamilton.

 

[Aiii]

I don't get how Vettel got away with lining up the way he did. Pretty sure Hamilton got a warning for doing something similar not that long ago.

Because stewards are more leniant now.

Do you really want a race to be decided because he was a meter to far to the left, on a wetter position than his regular place?

 

[Pryce]

Do they have to pit again?

 

[Dilly]

Fucking lol Raikonnen

 

[nny]

How long is Bottas going to need to overtake a Haas?

 

[Tubie]

10 with a Mercedes is so embarrassing.

Its really hard to overtake in these conditions.

Look at Alonso still 7th for proof.

 

[Danielsan]

These guys will complain that overtaking is hard, but really that shit isn't valid when Max jumped 14 spots and did some real overtaking.

 

[Zaru]

Man Hulkenberg is getting DESTROYED this race
All those penalties

 

[Rolfgang]

Lol, apparently we aren't hearing Vettel's radio because of the profanity.

 

[dakun]

Overtaking seems near impossible because they can't get close enough..

 

[Xando]

15 seconds on penalties


RIP Hulk

 

[Tempy]

McLaren please...

 

[Tubie]

These guys will complain that overtaking is hard, but really that shit isn't valid when Max jumped 14 spots and did some real overtaking.

At the start and during the SC mess.

 

[G-Unit]

Lol, apparently we aren't hearing Vettel's radio because of the profanity.

Says who?

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Vandoorne will retire "Fuel problems"

 

[Aiii]

Overtaking seems near impossible because they can't get close enough..

Somebody forgot to give Max that memo.

 

[Danielsan]

At the start and during the SC mess.

Ovetake on Ric.

 

[nny]

Honda: 1 down.

 

[aspiegamer]

Overtaking shouldn't be this this hard here. That long aero right before the back straight is splitting the cars up.

These guys will complain that overtaking is hard, but really that shit isn't valid when Max jumped 14 spots and did some real overtaking.

Max did almost zero of that under full-speed normal racing conditions. On Daniel was sexy, though.
