No passes except at start and blue flags from what I saw

JessicaTam · Apr 30, 2017

Oh, and BOT started from 3rd so no GS.

As you were.

I was wondering

Good to see him get his first win, though! Loved Eddie's comment to Toto about only giving him a 1 year contract.

Have we all recovered from the excitement of the race last night? :shock:

I swear they keep Eddie Jordan on the podium interviews just so the visit to the winners room by Vladimir Putin isn't the most awkward moment of the day....

Race over by turn 2 Lap 1. Already looks like it will be up to Vettel to drive the wheels off that Ferrarri this season and try to try to win the drivers title, but it looks like the Mercedes guys have the constructors championship sewn up already - unless the Ferrari guys can find a little more race pace. Certainly closer than last season though. Red Bull and other Renault and Honda powered cars look even more underpowered and less reliable than last season.

Eddie Jordan on podium = facepalm

They all acted like little school kids in that room with Putin.

Alonso really needs to consider taking that sabbatical. Focus on the Indy race and finding a new ride for 2018.

I think Alonso should stay - I watch each race waiting for the 'Alonso moment'.

Agree, hopeless as a spectacle.

"Sewn up" - there's a 1 point margin! Ferrari mucked the start, otherwise it would have been a Ferrari win.

Enjoyed it overall, think only because of the vottas win though. Yep no real passing but tactically it was exciting

If you're in the UK on June 2.... Silverstone and Williams Martini Racing British Grand Prix Media Open Day - Silverstone.

It's a free event.

I wouldn't be surprised if Alonso just walks out for the rest of the season.

.. and on that note, Alonso made the last Quali session.

Which was a little surprising to the commentators.

I must have missed the radio chatter where he claimed credit.

Buzzard · May 14, 2017

I might even get to watch the race tonight. Staying at somebody else's house so who knows.

JessicaTam · May 14, 2017

A couple of the contenders out already!

kelvedon · May 14, 2017

I'm predictiting HAM 1, VET 2 and BOT 3.... But I have been wrong before !

JessicaTam · May 14, 2017

So RIC is on the podium ... for now.

kelvedon · May 14, 2017

So my prediction that I could be wrong was correct !!
Replace BOT with RIC !
