Renault are considering withholding engines from Toro Rosso and making them sit out not just for the rest of the weekend with no engines, but also the Abu Dhabi GP.
What have I missed ?

F1 2017 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Shaping up to be a good weekend.. Some rain and it would make the race better..
Interesting comments by Torro Rosso there.. Basically accusing Renault of sabotage to get ahead of them in the constructors championship..

nice pole for Bottas , glad I swapped him for Max.
Great effort from Bottas. Not a great second run from Vettel, it was there for the taking.
I bet poor old Santi wishes he could post in here after lewis’s crash.
Pit Lane start for Lewis.
The world champion was set to start from 20th and last place on the grid after failing to set a time in Q1, but revealed Mercedes have taken his car out of parc ferme to make the necessary repairs and tweaks.

New power unit for Hamilton today, given the amount of qualifying laps they have in that engine it should give for an interesting race for him. Plus starting from the pitlane means he misses turn 1/2 accidents.
Could be a fun race. Any dampness forecast?
Dry race is forecast.
Fixed
I dont think it will be dull.
At least everyone will be going for it, because why not? Probably a few Renault blammos with some close ups of Red bull and Renault engineers
Can Lewis even come out for the warmup laps

Probably good for his heart tbf
panels off Kimi's car , will he even start?
he is in the car now.
Kimi's shown some decent pace this weekend, would be a shame if he doesn't even get going. Would also ruin my prediction of a Ferrari 1-2 and the fight for the podium... Guess Bottas vs Max for second could still be interesting.
WOW track temp is 60 degrees.
I am expecting major Hammertime, he has nothing to lose really.
Pretty boring start then
Riccardo spins
what was that, SC outSC will help Lewis
Bad for Merc usually?
Bottas was so passive into turn one.
usually yes.
They cant give anything for those incidents, can they.
I did not see anything wrong, just racing incidents for me.

nice and slow , FFS nearly had them all stopped.
I can't be bothered to go back and find the pages with Ferrari fans complaining about Hamilton behind a SC causing a crash. Just take a look at what Vettel just did, pretty sure he changed speeds erraticly yet Bottas found a way to not rear end him.
It’s because Hamilton is the devil remember.
that Merc does not like being in traffic
Lewis only 13 seconds behind Seb!!!
8th!
enjoying this.
7th!
Anyone else noticed the live timing column's really slow to update?
Lewis will be 5th pretty soon.
Massa vs Alonso vs Hamilton, like the good old days of 07/08 all over again. Just need Kimi to drop back and the set will be complete.
