    Were there any fans at this race? It’s very quiet with only a few hundred fans at the podium area...

    Looks like ESPN got the message to actually air the entire ending of the F1 race interviews...

    I concur, Sebastian was great but Gasly was impressive with the Honda powered Toro Rosso.

    Thoroughly enjoyed watching the race for once.

    Now let’s just see them tweak the racing rules to get better racing.

    The Ferrari mechanic has been taken to hospital with a confirmed broken leg (that was a bit obvious from the coverage though - Again, I never want to see that again! :eek::()

    On the UK's Channel 4, towards the end of the race, Mark Webber bet Susie Wolff £5 that Bottas would beat Seb, and Susie actually backed Seb!

    (She did then go on to say that had it have been Hamilton behind Seb, then Seb would have lost - Wudda, cudda, shudda Susie! ;) )

    • "There were some frustrating points in the race when they could not hear me on the radio. Communication is really difficult when you are trying to catch Vettel."

      Elton quoted on BBC website. Do you think the pit guys switched it off?

    Bottas shows why he is the #2 driver, underwhelming performance. Let's see how long Ferrari can get lucky with Vsc's and Merc grid penalties . Vettel showed again why he is #1 Ferrari driver. If Hamilton wins the championship this year, the "Merc had better car" excuse will not fly

    I assume the original plan would have been to but Vettel on a set of Super Softs with about 15 laps to go and have him chase down Bottas?

    I would have. What a whiny ***** he really is. I’d beat him about the head with his own arm if I was his pit boss

    Pit stops in enduro races I used to do in spec Miata were 5 min mandatory. fuel driver change etc. we had a timer In the car. I would not recommend any time limit in F1. Next the halo will be over each wheel

    "I go when the light is green. I don't see what happens behind. Unfortunately he got hurt, but my job is to go when the light changes," says Raikkonen
