It rapidly becomes 0.

Martin Brundle: "It's not going to polish out..."

If Danny Ric is looking for a Mercedes drive, he'll have loved that. Its an ill wind

That looks like a gearbox change

Edit: LOL sky are reading our posts again this year

 

[Limejuice]

Wow, that's a great lap from Hammy.

Lewis was playing with them

Kimi in front of Vettel, it will be interesting to see how that plays out with Ferrari

Kimi's out of contract this year, and it may well be his final season in F1.

My guess is that Kimi will be racing for Team Kimi, and if Vettel wants to end his own race in the first corner, Kimi will be happy to oblige.

OK that's me done I'm off to bed, see you tomorrow

 

[cybershot]

Oops.

6 minute of qualifying highlights for those not able to wake up

 

[spitfire]

Just watched the C4 highlights, what a lap from Hamilton.

Bottas

Don't like the driver in danger graphic but the rest were pretty good I thought.

See you all tomorrow after I've watched the replay (laaaazzzzyyyyy )

 

[Supine]

Watched the start of the show then fell asleep and missed all the qualification runs. Normal service resumed then

Good morning
Bottas starting down in 15th after taking penalty for gearbox, Lewis starting from pole but pole has only won here twice in the last 8 races, but I expect Lewis to win unless he has some sort of problem. We should see some overtaking with Danny Ric and Bottas moving through the field. Looking like a one stop race for most teams with Red Bull on a different tyre strategy than Ferrari and Mercedes.

The talking stops now as the first real test starts!

I think Bottas started in 15th he had a gearbox penalty, moving up now it seems

I currently having an email chat with F1.com who are in the pit-lane telling them their clock is wrong LOL

Sorry I miss-read your post above about Bottas at his current pace he'll be lucky to finish 7th

Is team radio working for you Badgers? I'm starting to wonder if Limejuice has over-slept

Odd. Maybe he has a smal car/tyre issue?

Still not even a quarter of the race comleted so lots still to come. The front 3 look comfortable though.

He is still trying to get his pitstop kettle sorted

 

[Badgers]

Another one down

Hartley

 

[1%er]

WOW I have a strange thing going on, I could hear the car noise but no team radio and then no commentary, I thought it was the Sky feed I'm watching on TSN5 from Canada but changed my headphones and everything came back

 

[Badgers]

Kimi stopping early for softs. Guessing that will bring the top three in.
