Not possible - the race hasn't occurred yet and that is when a lap record is set.

Unless of course you mean the qualifying record, which is a different thing and which may well have been re-set.

Agree on Seb possibly feeling the pressure - wonder if the toys will stay in the pram this time?

Charles is looking good for sure - already. Bearing in mind he would have beaten Vettel in the first race of the season had be been allowed to, I sincerely hope Ferrari are truly looking to the future....

But also bear in mind that Vettel beat Leclerc handily in qualifying and the race too up until that point. The only reason Leclerc got close was the bad strategy call for Vettel. Just to give all the context.

Well done, Charles Leclerc. This was so likely to come fairly soon rather than later and I am ruing not picking him for pole and getting 3 points in the predictions contest. I fell into the trap of thinking he'll get there, but Vettel is still a formidable team-mate rather than going with my earlier impression that he will start to achieve things very early on.

He can absolutely beat Vettel in the race. He has the head for it. You could still say Mercedes have the long-run pace, though, so it might come down to

a) strategy
b) overtaking.

A great race potentially in store, then.

It seems Grosjean impeded Norris because Vettel overtook him at the last corner, something which even Norris says happened. So there you go

That was a clean start, with Vettel getting the better of Leclerc.

Some good slicing and dicing between Vettel and Hamilton but Vettel loses it.

Vettel made an absolute arse of that. Would've been interesting as Lewis finished the pass off the road!

Just when you're about to give the prize for least impressive driver in a top team to Bottas, Vettel swoops in and takes it.

That looked very weird, the car just went around randomly! Big shame, because the fight was looking pretty good.

Something is wrong with Leclerc's PU. He's losing seconds over Hamilton.

Engine problems for Leclerc. It was too good to be true.

Blimey, a synchronised double failure for Renault and it brings out the SC.

What a bizarre race. Surprised we needed an SC for that? Why not a FCY? Or am I missing something?

Isn't it an FCY, with the field behind the SC? Either way, it's going to finish under yellow.

I forget that F1 does it differently to the rest of the world. VSC. Wouldn't have that been fine?

That Mercedes radio call was ridiculous. Shouting to Lewis "What a drive" and amazing etc. Lewis, quite rightly, points out they won because the Ferrari broke and Mercedes have work to do.
