Lewis gambling is always a worry.

Lewis gambling is always a worry.

He's getting a step ahead of Ferrari, so he's starting on Plan C, get Plan A and B out the way

Prost and Senna turn 1?

 

[Flibster]

Bottas looking more and more like a 70's porn star every week.

No matter how early I set my alarm, my kids seem to know and wake up earlier.

Upshift issues for Verstappen

Verstappen radio - My upshifts are again, really really bad. The upshifts are worse in the first sector.

 

[Mad_Jay]

Well that was all very sensible and clean.

Indeed, this with one DRS zone may lead to a thrilling race...

I’m not confident much is going to happen here. Hopefully this is a Jinx

Wonder why Ham is on hard tyres and most of the front runners are on mediums.

May have been anticipating early safety car, not uncommon here

Wonder why Ham is on hard tyres and most of the front runners are on mediums.

He's out of position, why not try something?

Norris pit radio - Lando, there is possible rain, lap 20. Class 1. 1 Lap. Doesn't change our plan.

Cue the Crofty rain hype...
