You'd have thought that the band might have done a bit of rehearsing before going on a live worldwide broadcast

So his Q3 exit is genuine.

Who'd want to be in car number 2 at Red Bull? Must be the unluckiest seat in motorsports

Marzipan could be a very expensive driver for Haas, 3 corners.

That Haas looks like a dog. I know they;ve said they;re not going to do any dev on it but it needs some work if they want to finish a race

With two rookie drivers, I wonder what the quality of the feedback to the Engineers is like.

These 2 x DRS zones between 3 close corners is going to be exciting today.

Not sure if they've got a trick up their sleeve for the second stop, otherwise it was dull to stay out so long.

If Hamilton wins this race then his 3 out laps on those hard tyres will be a big reason for it.

It's certainly interesting racing at the moment. Lots going on, the Red Bull certainly looks like it has the best outright pace but so far they've lost out on strategy. Not quite halfway yet

Pit Vettel ffs. He’s lost 6 places and 7 secs in 3 laps.

Mercedes can use hard, medium or soft for their next tyre. Red Bull don't have medium as an option. Much better options for Mercedes to close the race.

Merc will hope that Hamilton can take this set very deep so they can switch to Softs - they don't have any fresh Mediums left

Verstappen for the win barring reliability then. The Red Bull looks to be the absolute class of the field

RB & Merc miles in front of everyone else; but behind them it'll be a massive scrap for remaining points positions.

Should be a good end to the race.

Perez recovering well today.

Looking positive for this season.
