Really enjoying this season as a whole

Good afternoon folks

Expect to hear more about a Ferrari launch / clutch release button. Ant Davidson on Sky spotted the thumb button being used by Ferrari drivers, which might account for the super-slick launches.

It must be legal, he said...

 

[Ax^]

how many extra buttons does the ferrari have this year

 

[spitfire]

bonk.

 

[Limejuice]

Actually, the Ferraris had only a so-so start today.

Sky lied to me.

 

[Badgers]

Fairly orderly start and great early laps from Hamilton

Some earthy language on Max FM.

Sounds like Kimi's going to have a long, dry race.

Interesting strategy between the Ferrari and Mercedes coming up

Excellent overtake from Danny Ric on K Mag.

Hammy in for soft tyres.

Hammy in for soft tyres.

Looking like Vettel will get out in front of Bottas Maybe Raikkonen too

 

[Limejuice]

Okay, Botty's got to charge!

 

[Limejuice]

Well, that Ferrari pitstop sucked.

 

[Badgers]

FFS Ferrari

Poor old Seb

 

[Badgers]

Not sure that Bottas will Vettel behind for long but this should be giving Hamilton a bit more of a gap

 

[Limejuice]

Botty's doing a good team job.

I can't believe Danny Ric is still lapping at pace with still the starting tyres.

Now he comes in

 

[Limejuice]

I bet Danny Ric will hunt down Kimi.

Kimi has been putting in some good laps

 

[Limejuice]

Yes, I expected Danny R to make up more ground given the new ultras he's now got.

 

[Limejuice]

VSC - Botty for more tyres?

 

[Limejuice]

Ooh, those teasing minxes!

Ooh, those teasing minxes!

I may have had a small flutter on a Hamilton/Vettel 1/2
