Poll: Australian Grand Prix 2019, Melbourne - Race 1/21

[Mr Jack]

Hülkenburg takes the hard, Kimi takes the mediums. One stop vs. Two? Or just different expectations of tyre wear?

 

[Mr Jack]

Do Haas just plain have a problem fitting new wheels in Australia?

Just making sure it's properly attached, this time.

So much for tech changes
No one can overtake still ...

And with the big wide wings, they're a bit more nervous about getting alongside.

Be even more worried if a couple of blades of grass can knock a wing off lol

First Honda engine to lead a race since 2008

 

[Flibster]

Giovinazzi is 2 seconds a lap slower than anyone around him.
Those tyres were utter shagged.

 

[Mr Jack]

Stroll is up in the points. Good work.

 

[Flibster]

Nice overtake from Verstappen.
Ricciardo retires the car.

 

[Flibster]

Leclerc does a 1:27.240

'But the hard tyre won't be used here'

Hmmm....

[edit]
Bottas does 1:27.235, taking it back off Leclerc.

 

[Mr Jack]

Max is catching Lewis.

 

[Entai]

Honda overtakes ferrari ....

Didnt think. I'd see that .

 

[Flibster]

Grosjeans front left tyre wasn't attached properly.

This seems... familiar...

I might have missed it but anything wrong with lh merc, he's a long way behind bottas?

 

[MrKnifey]

I think tyres, mercedes panicked when Vettle pitted I think..should have stuck to the plan

Been generally nowhere since the pit stop.
Not heard of any issues, just tyres not working.

Which is why he's now faster than he's been on them so far. Down in the low 1:27's

Ferrari may as well turn everything down now. Magnussen is 26s behind Leclerc
