Botty is charging up behind Vettel.


*Fingers crossed*

Pit crew cost him 2nd

There's a bunch of guys who are going to be feeling the laser heat of Lauda's eyes on their backs...

Kimi!

Managed 1.4 secs faster with Lewis so yeah

FFS Kimi

not good news for Ferrari as Kimi had a new power-unit this weekend, if that engine is done it will cost them a lot of penalty's later in the season

 

[Badgers]

Might yet be a close finish depending on how the one/two stop strategies work out

if I remember rightly, Ferrari changed Kimi's first engine out as a precaution and sent it back to the factory for investigation. So officially Kimi hasn't used up one of his three engines yet. I think. Maybe.

 

[Badgers]

Max getting away with that? Seems despite the front wing damage is not causing him too much bother should be get a penalty?

I think Mercedes have a big enough lead (if there isn't a full safety car) to win here without stopping again, only 20 laps to go

Yes, I was thinking about the engine in his car today, if this engine is done after just one race

Yes, it's entirely possible that today's engine #2 is wonky, and engine #1 proves to be unsafe back at the factory, so Kimi could go into the next race with an official engine #3.

All these little wings and flaps on the front wings seem to be bullshit engineering when you look at max's speed with a broken wing, I call bullshit LOL

I'd like to see the figures on any heat increase on Max's engine

Yep, if they're looking to contain costs, mandating a much simpler front wing could save teams a fortune and not take too much speed and stability away from the cars. As I understand the Brawn plans, that's probably going to happen.

K-Mag in the Haas fastest of the rest atm, I'm sure that has car is the best of the mid-field, shame they'd has so many problems

edit Sky reading this thread again lol

I agree with Anthony, Ferrari cost themselves a podium with that 2nd stop (unless Bottas runs out of fuel )

And cost Vettel six points

I'm surprised Botty was fuel-saving at the end. There were plenty of laps behind the safety car and VSC.

They must have loaded the fuel with a pipette.

Not a thriller, but not without incident that

Good to see Hamilton at his best and Mercedes (mostly) on top of things. Good drives by Alonso for McLaren too

Ted's Notebook on Sky is repeated at 20.05 tonight, if that helps.

I may be pissed by then

Edit 20.05 in UK is only 5 past 4 here so I'll still be in the bar

Well, I'll probably be pissed too. It's my son's 20th birthday today, so I'll be celebrating. He, alas, is 300 miles away at uni revising for exams. I feel obligated to make up the slack.

NOW the rain falls in Barcelona.
