Lights out and away we go!

Flibster · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:08

Well that start looked ok.

utajoker · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:10

Did they decide if Hamilton used new or used tires for his q2 time to start the race on?

New set of ultra softs.

Ericsson and Magnussen incident under investigation.

From what I watched yesterday they were indeed new.

Hamilton trolling Vettle or have Ferrari genuinely closed the gap

UTmaniac · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:13

Early days, but going on how Vettel is keeping Hamilton honest, looks like we might not have a one horse race this year.

utajoker · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:13

Vettel making a race of it for now atleast

Flibster · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:14

Ricciardo is on track. 2 laps down, but on track.

I missed the build up. Was it that broken from yesterday?! Or another issue

Vandoorne radio "No power. No power. Low on power"
Pit response "Copy. Stay out there"

UTmaniac · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:18

Wow, so Hamilton has just beaten the best lap from last year, on lap 5.

1:28.786 vs 1:28.997 on lap 49 (by Ricci Lake)

Lets see how close to the 5 seconds quicker things get!

utajoker · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:19

Does anyone else keep mistaking the haas thinking it's mclaren?

Mr Jack · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:20

Looks like flattered to deceive, Hamilton's walking away with this now. Still, Vettel at least seems faster than Bottas.

utajoker · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:20

Bottas dropping fast.

From the front, yup.

Junglist · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:23

Should've put a bet on Vettel as think he can win this

KiNgPiN83 · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:24

I'm not sure Hamiltons issue is as bad as he's making out.. No grip and The tyres are over heating yet he's still moving away. (Albeit not as much as he's used to..)

Flibster · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:24

Vandoorne "Not doing anything. It's just empty"

Assuming that's his dash issue.

UTmaniac · 26 Mar 2017 at 06:25

Sounds as if undercuts through pitting early won't happen with these new, more durable tyres.
