Loads of drivers ruining their tyres before they start.. Ricciardos looked the worst though. He really locked them up.

Not really, they only use old tyres on the run out to the grid.

DRS available after lap 1 but seems Max will be out of the 1s range even then.

 

[Stu999]

Well controlled for Max. Shame for Hulk.

 

[chrismscotland]

Ah well, DRS a lap earlier isn't going to make much odds is it!
