So did people really think a lot of that race then? My missus fell asleep about half an hour in and to be honest I was having more fun chatting about various bits and bobs on the internet than I was watching the action.
Seems like aside from Bottas nothing really happened past the first 10 laps. Had he not screwed up his tyre then he would have likely found a slot around 4th and we'd have probably heard no more from him.
Noticed exactly the same problems as last year to be honest. One car storming away at the front, a lot of other cars catching each other and then driving in procession because they lacked the straight line speed to pass.
Mercedes has a sizable advantage. The best bet is RedBull getting their act together and making it a close 2nd half.
That's really the best you can expect. Anything thinking it'll be some magical season of 4-5 teams running at the front and dicing it out are living in fantasy land. I'd love to be proven wrong but I'm practical.
