I don't understand why they brought Lewis in a again for tyres

If they have that little life in them he'll have to come in again two more times

 

[1%er]

25 laps on the medium? he could have problems on the last few laps, Jenson was being past by loads of cars after 25 laps on them and he was going much slower than Lewis will be

Mercedes don't really know what to do with Hammy.

They seem to be spooling through every possibility.

He's covered all three dry tyres available, but none are making a big difference to his race.

It seems they're covering every base, so they can claim we tried everything we could think of.

Yes, I think they should have gone longer on the softs before the last set of softs so he only had about 20 laps on these tyres, I think they only did 11 laps on the set I'm talking about.

 

[Limejuice]

Okay, was that Chinese infant a local celeb as well?



Less kid, more race.

 

[Limejuice]

Excellent move by Ricciardo on Hammy.

 

[1%er]

Kimi could catch Lewis on his soft tyres

 

[Limejuice]

Smooth move by Kimi on Bottas.

 

[Limejuice]

Kimi could catch Lewis on his soft tyres

Pretty quickly, I think.

Lewis's medium's will start going off in about 5 laps

 

[1%er]

Ferrari got their strategy right, I'm not sure Mercedes did, I think they made a mistake two sets of tyres ago

Fan Bingbing is a Chinese actress, television producer and pop singer. She topped the Forbes China Celebrity 100 list in 2013, 2014, and 2015, after ranking in the top 10 every year since 2006

A big shot in the area

She was also in X-men and Iron Man 2/3, so not just a local celeb.

What's an x- or iron man?

Are they wrestlers?

I'd never heard of her I googled

That's what I was wondering, but I didn't want to ask as I didn't want to look like I'm not down with the youff

Yeah, Youff.

I have a teenager upstairs I could ask, but he won't be surfacing until this afternoon.

I've got one of them, we pass each other very occasionally in the kitchen

 

[1%er]

I've no idea about driver of the day

Maybe Kvyat?

 

[Limejuice]

Kvyat for me.

So far he hasn't really lived up to the promise of a Red Bull drive.

Excellent recovery by Ferraris too. On the first lap they were in a bugger's muddle.

Good to see three different teams on the podium.

 

[Limejuice]

Ooh, get Vettel!

Good for Kvyat for holding his own.

 

[1%er]

Vettel is wrong there, if Kvyat had done something wrong the stewards would have pulled him up, it was a racing incident

 

[1%er]

Kvyat needed that with the torro rosso boys snapping at his heals

 

[Limejuice]

This unquestionably the correct answer, with a truth that blazes like a thousand suns.



Or, up yours, Vettel.

The Young Turk of yesteryear is being rather overshadowed by the younger Verstappen, who was looking like a shoe-in replacement for the Red Bull drive in due course.

Yes, I don't think we will see him in a Torro Rosso next year, I think Red Bull or maybe even Ferrari

I loved that little "discussion". It's not often we get to hear the drivers having it out after an incident.

I think when Vettel sees it he'll change his view. he didn't need to move so far to the left like he did, in my view he was more responsible for the accident than Kvyet (I have the benefit of the replay)

 

[Limejuice]

I also think Vettel was going a bit too far in trying not to blame Kimi, or to exonerate himself for any part in damaging Kimi.

First corner - it's always carnage. that's racing. Even Charlie Whiting says he looks the other way and ignores track limit problems and similar-speed contacts.
