Magnussen goes backwards into turn 1. Safety car. Will be surprised if Hamilton doesn’t win this one from here.

Perez gets the green light in the pits and does well not to stuff it into Norris.

And Sainz closes the door on Vettel. Bizarre from Vettel to try and put his car up the inside there.

It's pretty clear the Ferrari engines couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.

There's no amount of aero that can fix that.

He’s not now. Brake failure looking at the replay. And Russell breaks down as well for good measure.

Hamilton doesn’t leave Albon a lot of room there. Albon was ahead and Hamilton tried to push him out of it.

It's turned out more interesting in fairness, but it's mainly been cars dropping out, not been too much actual racing, though the safety car is helping out a little.
In the end the 2 Mercedes will still win easily.
Albon pushed it too early, shame.

He knew exactly what he was doing. Trying to push Albon out.

You can probably only tell from telemetry. If he was full lock, and took the corner as he had before, i'm not sure what else he can do. If it turns out he braked a lot later than ordinarily then that's a different matter, but you'd need previous telemetry.

Lockdown F1 is so basic, prizegiving feels about as special as a club karting event. Proper grit. :thumbup:
