'it's a great strategic contest'

so is chess. Get some bloody overtaking happening.

If Ferrari stop again it’ll be a blinding last few laps. If they don’t it will also be a blinding few laps

Ffs Raikkonen has just run over a mechanic

Nasty injury there for one of the Ferrari mechs.

I feel a bit pale watching that back. Looked like he snapped his leg in two.

Not watching again, it looked really grim live.

Hmmm Mercedes stratagists claim not to be able to hear a fairly pissed of sounding Hamilton. Funny how I could hear him asking for information

Come on Bottas

Well that was quite an exciting last couple of laps

Another couple of laps and Bottas may well have got him, but there we go.

Superb effort from Gasly to get fourth.

What a drive from Vettel he surely showed his metal!
What was Hamilton playing at?

I'm not sure that i can agree. Bottas never looked quite like he was gonna make it. Reality is that the first few laps were good. then the 2 leadng teams changed their tyre strategies. Very little happened at the head of the field for the next 50 odd laps aside from Raikonnen running over his mechanic, and Bottas flattering to decieve.

Entertaining race!

Very entertaining race, but that pretty much shows why Bottas is good rather than great as he never really looked like getting the better of Seb. Lewis overtaking three cars in one corner was awesome. Horrible for the Ferrari mechanic and not nice to watch that at all.

Lewis would have won that in Bottas’ situation. It’s disappointing to give Vettel another win but he won the first two last season and was always going to be favourite in Bahrain. Lewis needs to finish ahead of him in China to get some momentum.

No he didn't. He won in Australia and Bahrain, but Bahrain was the third race last year. Hamilton won the second race in China.

Channel hopped in or about five minutes, then channel hopped out again. F1 really seems to have dropped off my interest radar this last coupe of seasons.

Just a random thought\question. With regards to the Ferrari pitlane incident, would having a standardised tyre changing setup right the way down the pitlane help reduce the incidents we've seen in the 1st 2 races?

I don't believe so.

Could still have human/equipment errors.

Absolutely there's always the human factor, but my reasoning is that the issues have been with Ferrari based pitlane equipment (Ferrari obviously and Haas). Might be a coincidence though.
