Bottas defended well. Good lead already.

Looks like Ham has dropped off to maintain tyres.

 

[timmeh]

Is that a McLaren challenging a Red Bull!?

Good racing from the Mercs. I wonder how close Bottas was to that outside wall t T1

 

[Mr Jack]

Great driving from Ham and Bottas off the start. Very fair.

Bottas has this in the bag already

Unless there is a safety car if Hilton is saving his tyres. This isn’t typically a Hamilton track.

Ferrari seem to have no answer. Mercedes further ahead than last year.

 

[Junglist]

Hamilton needs to start chasing fastest laps.

Leclerc on a charge. 2nd stint could be interesting assuming he doesn’t munch his tyres.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Mercedes cruising already.

 

[Mr Jack]

Leclerc is taking chunks out of Vettel.

 

[Deleted member 651465]

I suspect Ferrari will pit Vettel before Leclerc catches him. They’ve caught too much heat about team orders to pull anything else lately.

 

[Mr Jack]

A lot of people pitting early.

LeClerc had brand new tyres everyone else had used tyres.

Almost a reason to deliberately crash during Q2.

Any news on where Brundle is on Sky?

Vettel in, will merc react?

Ferrari picked more medium tyres than any other team. He’d have had more new tyres available anyway... downside is he has less red stripe tyres.

Mentioned yesterday he was at nurburgring in a 24hr race

LeClerc going to go on for ages with these tyres, then swap to softs at the end.

LeClerc has this race in the bag

LeClerc now leading with no real need to pit for a long time
