All softs lets go into t1

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

That's the start I want to see!

 

[Reuben klang]

Great start. Also sooooo much better with Rosberg on comms.

 

[Kenai]

Comfortable start for Piastri, left Norris and Max to squabble behind him.

All pretty clean and tidy though by the look of it

 

[Mr Jack]

Already more action than Monaco!

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Alonso providing some entertainment too!

 

[spook2575]

Max is on it

 

[Mesai]

Good start from Oscar, but also glad he's not running away up front, although once the tyres come in he'll probably get a gap.

What a shame Stroll isn’t competing….said nobody ever.

Tyre management simulator until the pit window. So stupid.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I'd wondered how Hulkenberg was going so well. Just not even bothering with the track and making up as many positions as possible. :'D

How many laps before Ferrari Strategy Dept. wreck Hamilton’s race?

Not a Stroll fan, but I think the headline is a little misleading here. It seems like he's suffering with a chronic pain condition, and got upset because of that. It must be so frustrating being held back by pain.

The way that story is being framed there now certainly seems to insinuate these issues may not have been helped by his little tantrum but without explicitly saying it

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Hamilton slow potato

 

[Kenai]

Hamilton and Max both gone from DRS range (or close) to dropping back a couple of seconds from the car ahead - pushing a bit too hard too soon or deliberately leaving a gap?

 

[Mesai]

Ferrari ruining their race before lap 10.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

So, Ferrari to call the cars to switch positions in 5 laps, when it's way too late?

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Yuki’s toast isn’t he?

 

[andy_mk3]

Very early stop for Yuki, are the mediums that bad?
