Nah - they've just got big problems with their wind tunnel, now they can't 'cheat'

Easy tiger.

Ooh.  Bottas>Hamilton

[The Horse's Mouth]

Bottas 3.0

[foxes_rule1978]

Bottas is always a good qualifier here, not surprised... was shocked he went off though wouldn’t have wanted that for sure 

[UniFox21]

Hamilton summoned to stewards for 2 apparent infringements 

[isaidno]

3 place grid penalty for Hamilton 

[Brainy]

30mins before the race??? The sport never ceases to amaze me. Neither do Red Bull who will be asking for Mercedes to be disqualified from the Championship after the season finishes if they don't beat them. No class

Hopefully that'll make for a better race...

Apparently they didn't have access to all cameras when they made the initial decision. Absolutely barmy how this happens. Sky reported Red Bull appealed the decision last night and it's taken until 30mins pre race to make a damn decision

If it's the right decision then okay, ridiculously late which puts all that Merc have done in the last 18 hours for race prep and strategy into the bin, but Red Bull seem to spend more time looking at Mercedes than their own issues

[PhillippaT]

Dammit - there goes the race then - shame for Max Verstappen, goodbye Mercedes into the distance?  

[Brainy]

Race becomes much more boring now with that, oh well

There is now, wasn't expecting Hamilton to claw back the 8s to Bottas and pass him with the heat and the issues Merc have following another car.

That is racing things change quick, looks like we could have an exciting one here

Vettel crashed again

Doesn’t look good when the guy you crash into is the one replacing you. 

[foxes_rule1978]

Now it is boring, although who’s car will fail. Another safety car race back on?

[PhillippaT]

ooh - this safety car could make things more interesting...

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Much happening? From what I've seen the season is a forgone conclusion after the dual axis steering thing from the other day. 

 

Much better racing series out there!

[PhillippaT]

Three wheels on Kimi's wagon...

[foxes_rule1978]

Albon being on the soft, will make this a very interesting end to the GP. Mercedes can’t take it easy now if they want to get the 1/2 finish
