Today could be huge for Fernando to stay in front of Leclerc

Edit: Fernando is currently 13 points in front, with only 2 races left after today.

Sainz radio - I just hope we bin this clutch as soon as we're back in Maranello

Pit - Copy that. We'll speak about it later please.

 

[Flibster]

Ricciardo being strapped in. Looks good for him restarting.

 

[Zowghi]

F1 commentary saying you can go back to the garage in Red flag, and not lose position on the restart.

Scrap that, turns out to be b/s or I misunderstood.

They start from the pit lane.

 

[chrismscotland]

Ricciardo was pretty much last anyway, probably safer starting in the pitlane!

Who is he? A rapper or something? Seemed like he wanted some attention.

Music/Rock star - married to Megan Fox. Total pillock....

WHAT! Alonso!

FIA Stewards - Lap 1 Turn 1 incident involving Albon and Magnussen reviewed - No further investigation - Causing a collision

Norris still within DRS.

I think Alonso has one plan and that’s to ruin Hamilton’s race

 

[el_dazza]

Go on Lando, get him.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Bit crap knowing that Norris basically has no chance of winning after seeing his tyre deg relative to Verstappen yesterday.

As good as the sprint was it's basically a big old spoiler for the sunday race

Or maybe get 3rd for himself? Aston seems quicker than Merc so far

 

[Flibster]

I wonder if Norris will attack Verstappen as strongly as he defends from Verstappen?
