Kimi has always been a dour individual but he's surpassed himself today.
Grumpy git.
Won't miss him when he gets out of F1.

He's an ass. Always thought it.

Voted a 7. good race, I enjoyed it 
Maybe a 'boring bit' in the middle as people have mentioned, but there was always something developing on the near horizon, which isn't something I've always felt with F1. Great drive from Bottas even if he had only finished 3rd, but luck was on the Merc side today

There are corners you naturally once enter end up on the outside even without accelerating but for me Vettel pushed two drivers out on a corner where you can very very easily leave space, you just can't absolutely floor it when someone is alongside you. Vettel I think could have easily been penalised twice for that.

What did he say?
That was a brilliant shotKimi and Bottas looking very bored waiting for Hamilton in the press conference.
I don't actually know. Just seemed like a random string of words.
Nothing, he just jumped about in the background, must having fun.

Hamilton should get disqualified for being late

Raikkonen needs subtitles at all times,would have more chance of understanding him if he spoke in Finnish.

What a fantastic race. Well done to Lewis and Bottas. Driver of the day for me was Ricciardo.
Ferrari lets themselves down again.

I don't think Ricciardo did anything special, most of his passes on better cars he was in a position of having a much faster car and mostly on vastly superior tires. For me Verstappen was the guy who did the best driving, he was keeping a car that was ~30 seconds faster over race distance and he was keeping one behind him like a boss. Ricciardo was mostly doing DRS overtakes, nothing very difficult and a car that was ~30 seconds faster than the Renault and another big step over the FI's. Ricciardo drove really well but I just think that driving by Verstappen was the most impressive of anyone. Hamilton was extremely fast and his pace was absurd but he had no challenge all race.

I still think they need to drop the V6 engine in favour of V8's
