Poll: Russian Grand Prix 2018, Sochi - Race 16/21

[Mr Jack]

Not sure if you are serious or not. Vettel has been his own downfall a few times this year, not the car.

Yup, Vettel should be well ahead and looking comfortable to cruise to the win. Instead, he's well behind. Entirely his fault.

Ferrari never had the faster car. Mercedes and Ferrari had equal cars - Australia pure luck, Bahrain again in the end of the race the Ferrari was slower...
And now when Mercedes fixed their problems, it is obvious.

Game is over.

Game over man, game over (as said by every Ferrari fan)

 

[Kenai]

Realistically though, at 40 points behind, one Hamilton DNF and they're right back in the mix. The championship is far from over at this stage IMO.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

50 points plus after today and it is game over. As it stands, it isn’t yet.

 

[CSMonkeh]

Mercedes won’t let that happen yet. I wonder if Ferrari have used up too much of their engine earlier in the year.

What, like last year??

But yeah they must be on the cusp of engine penalties again....

Snooze qualifying.
Especially q2.
But saying that Renault did the right thing.
Found it amusing the commentary team were saying well done to Ericsson.. He should have done same!

 

[Psycho Ned]

WTF shocking rendition of one of the best anthems of them all!

Luckily just checked this thread and noticed it was an earlier start, was about to watch something else and would have missed it!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Didn’t realise it was starting now! Possible rain?

Hamilton seems to be leaking oil so I wouldn't rule anything out atm

 

[Mr Jack]

That sky looks exciting. Any chance of rain?

Unknown currently.

Edit: rain drops on one corner.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton was lucky he had the slipstream from Bottas!

 

[Psycho Ned]

Dunno what happened to Vettel there, he was right on Hams tail into turn 1 then dropped right back.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Bottas is flying. He knows he needs a big gap to rule out team orders.

 

[Mr Jack]

Sirotkin passed Alonso. Lol McLaren!

 

[XeNoN89]

Max flying through the field

 

[The_Abyss]

Lol, Mercedes teamwork ruining Vettel’s start.

Verstappen isn’t hanging around today...

On which lap will bottas move over?

On which lap will bottas move over?

Interested to see how they do it. If they do it. Near the end I suspect.
