Commentators completely missing Bottas spinning in the background

Bottas Spun and they barely find out on the live feed...wow FOM you suck.

 

[twitcher]

Why are F1 drivers so terrible at safety car restarts? There's a country mile between each of them

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Amazing that Max is already 3rd.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

I missed the Sainz drift

 

[PsuPepperoni]

fastest lap so far is on supers somehow

 

[Fat Tyre]

Verstappen 2nd now. Legal feed working now I still would like to murder who designed hotstar's website.

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Great overtake with equal machinery by Max to go 2nd , good to see the cars being able to stay really close to each other.

I wonder if the soft runners will really go to the end?

 

[JayOTT]

Verstappen 2nd now.

 

[BrainsBush]

now lets see how the tire strategy soft vs supersofts will work out.

 

[Fat Tyre]

@JayOTT ?

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

The **** Nico... 2 overtake on both vsc and SC. Weird, wish we had the footage. 5 and 10 sec penalty, anyone knows why overtaking under vsc is not the same penalty as overtaking under SC ? Makes no sens to me. Or is it an incremental system ?

 

[NW48]

God dammit. Vandoorne retires from the race with a fuel issue.

 

[Rossell2]

Would it be too soon to suggest Max has a reasonable shout of victory here?

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

Yes it is because of supersoft.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I was about to say that this is looking pretty dull ...

 

[JayOTT]

Overtakes in 2017 thank you Shanghai turn 6 for saving the season...

But FFS could you please not make the victim of the overtake Danny Ric all the time

 

[sems4arsenal]

Seb that was magnificent.

 

[Animera]

Yes Vettel!

 

[PsuPepperoni]

YEEEEHAW

 

[BrainsBush]

Vettel learned the 'Max breaking' move quickly. Well executed

 

[IforceV8]

Cars on SS tires are doomed.

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

Wow that speed difference between the Mercs and the McLaren.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

Alonso: 'Why am I keeping up with a W08'

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Good to see proper overtakes being done with these cars by likes of Max and Sebastian, not relying on old vs new tyres delta or flying past with DRS.

God dammit. Vandoorne retires from the race with a fuel issue.

Alonso now down to 8th, impressive he stayed 7th position for so long though given he had a Mercedes behind him. Hopefully he gets a point this race.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

sparks flowing over Grosjean's cars like smoke in a wind tunnel

 

[JayOTT]

Verstappen flat spots trying to defend from Vettel, forced to turn it into an attempted undercut. I guess that's the risk you take when you're pushing for faster lap times than your team-mate and taking more life out of the tyres in the process too.

Or he got spooked by the flying red car coming quickly to his rear wing. Also his tire issues was compounded by the fact he rode along behind Ric for so long, same with what Vettel is dealing with and Kimi right now.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

And sadly it's over fro what could have been a good finish for McLaren.

 

[NW48]

God dammit again. Double retirement for McLaren, both due to fuel pressure it seems.
