Going to try and get into F2 this season, watching the quali atm and both Norris and Russell look very quick

The feature race was brilliant, some great driving and loads of action.

 

[Nando]

Great fun. Puts F1 to shame.

Mclaren's whole 'best chassis on the grid' argument is looking sillier by the week. Nowhere near Red Bull with the same engine, behind Renault, outclassed by Torro Rosso Honda and even Force India have jumped above them again.

 

[Nando]

Well that's just about as bad a 30 seconds as you can have, Red Bull.

Tremendous start to the race though. Loved Lewis doing 3 cars in one corner.

 

[Tredman]

I cracked and am watching it, much better race so far, but pretty much only because of Lewis. The rest is still ditch water.

It'll be interesting how far ahead vettel gets now

There’s been loads of action all the way down! Only disappointment is how far away everyone is from the top 4 with the red bulls being out.

Oh shit horrible for that Ferrari mechanic, hope he’s ok. Looked like a mechanic was indicating he’s broken his leg

 

[PuntsWolf]

He’s either broke his leg or bost his knee ligaments.

 

[Kenny]

Jesus! That looks a shocker. Who the fook gave the green light to go on that stop

 

[AndyWolves]

He played the ball first so it's a not a foul

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ouch - legs sort of aren't supposed to point that way. Nasty injury.

 

[AndyWolves]

Just seen it on twitter, it looked very painful. No fault can be attached to Kimi

Vettel has a challenge now, he's got to make those tyres last

 

[Carrotdude]

It was a weird one as the back left tyre never came off so their system thought it was all fine as there was a tyre there

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Unless Vettel's tyres fall off a cliff I can't see Hamilton catching. Bottas could, and then he could back Seb up, I guess.

 

[Carrotdude]

Ok so I don’t think you should be able to take the middle set of tyres 39 laps in a 57 lap race. Pirelli are still too cautious on compounds imo.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Vettel is on softs, isn't he?

 

[Nando]

Come on Val!
