gearbox change was required for that sauber in the pic so everyone moves up one again

Watching the replay of qualifying, I have to say that I really like Hülkenberg's new helmet.

Interesting start and first lap with slicks, intermediates and wets on the grid. Weather conditions demand a lot from the driver. Curious how it develops during the race.

 

[NW48]

Sainz gambling and is the only one on slicks. Supersoft tyres for him.

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Hopefully be a close race. Impressed how close the Mercedes and Ferrari looked on the onboards in qualifying.

 

[NW48]

Verstappen should pit for Supersoft tyres and start in the pitlane.

EDIT: Jolyon Palmer pits for slicks for the start of the race.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

Toto has the worst poker face

 

[NW48]

Vettel was quite out of place on that grid... And is now being investigated for it.

And Lance strolls off the track and into a gravel trap.

 

[JayOTT]

Holy Senna, Verstappen's already 7th...

 

[sems4arsenal]

Is Vettel's start allowed?

 

[BrainsBush]

wow great start of our Max. gained 10 positions!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Anyone know what that Orange thing is in 8th?

 

[JayOTT]

Anyone know what that Orange thing is in 8th?

Could be an Arrows. Good to see them back in F1...

 

[Cap'n Jack]

For the sake of the race, I really hope Vettel doesn't get a penalty.

 

[twitcher]

How the hell did Palmer spin under VSC?

 

[PsuPepperoni]

Verstappen is clearly Senna reincarnated

 

[sems4arsenal]

I think that is a needless gamble by Ferrari

Edit: the gods have smiled upon him

 

[NW48]

Giovinazzi crashes hard once again!

 

[JayOTT]

Deja Gio all over again...

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Gio going for another sail boat set up, not realizing it's too late for said strategy.

 

[05XR8]

What is this guy doing?

 

[PsuPepperoni]

Gio crashed during a VSC?

 

[twitcher]

Gio caught out by the same patch of water that caught out Pascal last year...

 

[NW48]

Gio crashed during a VSC?

No.

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

Alonso's amazing on radio lol

 

[NW48]

No action against Vettel for being out of position on the grid

 

[Fat Tyre]

How was the start like? I missed the first four laps due to the payed streaming not working now I'm watching an illegal feed.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

Isn't this track built on a swamp

 

[sems4arsenal]

Save us Kimi
