Going by the traffic outside the circuit, they should have a push bike race as a support. They are more popular than cars that's for sure. I say open up the circuit to about 200-300 members of the public for a 5 lap race! That will fill in the time and be entertaining for sure!

I wonder whether RBR problems are due to the fact they wont use the Renault recommended lubricants and fuels because of a commercial arrangement.

Renault and McLaren both use BP/Castrol, but Red Bull have signed up with ExxonMobil instead.

They're the only customer team in 2018 to differ from their engine provider's works team.

Toto Wolff made a comment on this factor:
Quote:
"Strategically you need to make sure that you are on the same performance levels," he explained. "And therefore have the same fluids as the works team."

Mercedes is quite insistent about Williams and Force India also using Petronas in their cars.

Similarly, Ferrari stipulates that Haas and Sauber should use Shell.

I didn't follow practice or realize qualifying happened already. How did Ferrari get pole here? This has traditionally been Mercedes romp.

Is it tyre strategy? Who has long run pace from practice?

This track is fairly easy to pass on with the massive straight. So it's not a done deal for Ferrari if Merc turns the power up.

There was talk in 2008 of possibly dropping the race because it was haemorrhaging money.

It's Vettel and Raikkonen on the front row, followed by Bottas and Hamilton and Verstappen and Ricciardo.

The Toro-Rosso Hondas are down the grid, while the McLarens are 13th and 14th, with Alonso and Vandoorne.

What has happened to Ferrari? They needed the VSC to win in Aussie, yet in the past two weeks they have locked out the front. And like last week Vettel takes it away Kimi at the last. Still Kimi is really looking more like the Kimi of old so far. And Gasly so far down, what difference a week makes

Now that Vandoorne was released with a wheel not properly attached in Free Practice, maybe it’s about time for better regulation on pitstops

A very clean start, as Vettel performs the Schumacher Chop on Raikonnen, who dropped back to 4th. Bottas 2nd, Verstappen 3rd, Hamilton 5th.

Double pit stop for RB. That was very slick.

The undercut worked for Bottas/Mercedes and he takes second place over Vettel/Ferrari. Raikkonen still to pit.

It's all happening as Verstappen clips Vettel, putting Vettel down to 7th.

Edit: Verstappen to get a 10 second penalty, which will be added to his time at the end of the race.
