Yeah, I would say his problems began in 2016. He had a thoroughly mediocre and bad tempered year and burned through all his credit from 2015. The next season started well as Mercedes struggled to get a handle on the new regs but the game has been up since Baku 2017 really. Once Kimi was ousted he was absolutely toast. He is having to extend himself to gain supremacy in the team and he simply doesn't like doing that. |

You say Alonso remained on top of his game....in terms of speed, maybe....in terms of politics and burning bridges.....ummm not so much! |

Super impressed by Hulkenberg. To jump in that car and perform so quickly is the mark of someone still on it. Here's hoping Racing Point have more race pace than last weekend.
Gasly is doing a decent job too. AlphaTauri/ Toro Rosso blow hot and cold, but he's been there or thereabouts most the time recently. |

Gasly has impressed me, but he was impressive the first time around. Question is, can he cope with the pressure of a big team again?

I think it would be a nice gesture if everyone let Alfa get a win to recognise their win on the inaugural GP

A clean start with Bottas holding the lead.

The mistakes Vettel is routinely making are almost childlike at this stage.

Oh dear Seb......
...I suppose you’ve got to be good at something, and if it’s not driving forwards, it might as well be going backwards.. |

5 and a half laps down and the radio for Bottas is already saying left side tyres are "critical". Will someone end up winning on a 3 stop?

Bottas's right front does not look good.

Verstappen leads as Hamilton pits and he needed to, his tyres looked bad.

It's beginning to look like Verstappen has this one in the bag, and we're only half way.
I'm on tenterhooks waiting for a tyre to go bang somewhere. |

Very unusual to see Hamilton struggling with tyres like this. Having a dreadful day.

+5s for KMag after elbowing Latifi out of the way, coming back on after running out wide at Stowe. Was a pretty rude move IMO.
