That was a slow pit for Kimmi
Merc bottling it by the looks of it, easy win for Vettel.
Stroll has stopped , looked like he was hit.
Carlos out also .
SC , that will help Merc , both will pit.

SC , that will help Merc , both will pit.
Why ? pit on the SC right thing to do.
6.2 second stop for Bottas, 6.4 for Lewis... Waited far too long to come in before the SC.
Penalty coming up for Lewis too.
really what for , must of missed that.
A mechanical failure or bad driving by Verstappen?
AH I did miss it.
mechanical, he did nothing wrong.
5 second pen for Lewis, he is not winning the race.

Vettel has this race in the bag.
Bottas and Lewis in battle for second, but with the 5 second pen, looking like a
Seb , Bottas Lewis podium.

Mercedes should have switched over earlier. Think Mercedes need to give Lewis number 1 status like ferrari are doing if they want to win drivers championship.
WTF has happened to Bottas down in 6th
Seb in for new rubber , Lewis in front but still has his penalty to take.
If Lewis pits soon with his pen looks like he will be down in 6th or 7th
Lewis has to pit soon.
Lewis pits, 5 second penalty, he is back out in 3rd 6.8 seconds in front of 4th only 1.2 behind Bottas.
Yes! Get in there Seb! I shit myself in the pants in the last laps, as Lewis was pushing as hard as he could 
was a very good race, thought Lewis was in with a chance but left it a bit late.
Fun race, sad for Verstappen. Saintz was 100% guilty I think. Looking to be a good season like this.
Fantasy Leauge after Race 3
Standings after Race 3.
I keep my 4 point lead at the top with TT_Caff in second place.
Good week for Cartman taking 3rd place from Redshift and with a nice 13 point advantage.
Good week for Toyoda jumping from 10th to 6th.
Well Done to hp88 with a cracking 10 place jump from 18th to 8th.
Some very good point totals this week.
Team of the week is hp88 with 111
Followed by Cartman, impulse and Toyoda with 108
Myself and TT Caff both with 106.
Next race is in Russia on 30th April lights out at 13:00 BST.
Make you changes or not.
Good Luck.

Valtteri "Kovalainen" Bottas
Max Verstappen cost me big time, the little shit.
Had 2 mins to make team changes having missed all of FP3, but saw the time sheets and decided on a punt on the tw*t!! 
Forgot how much I can't stand Vettel winning. Pleased for Wehrlein, who I thought did well considering he's had minimal running in the Sauber. Good also to see Renault joining the midfield battle and hope Haas can maintain their promising start. Only wish Stoffel had the chance to show his talent after waiting far too long for his seat at Mclaren. Enjoying the season so far, could be a classic!

I have to admit to quite liking Vettel, I used to hate him but not any more.
It's only because he's a massive threat to Lewis in the championship. He's the villain for me now lol. Things are quite civil between the two atm, but I wonder how long this will last? Not long I suspect.
The shape of F1 2027
That is one stunning looking car.

Max Verstappen will still be in his 20s when this happens.
Not F1 but F4 is a stepping stone to F1.
this is a nasty crash one of the worst I have seen, poor lad lost both his legs and in an induced coma.

I have put the crash in a spoiler.

Ferrari are throwing down the gauntlet.
Ferrari looks so up for it in Russia! Hopefully we can finally win the pole position.
