Raikkonen above Bottas, but he still has to stop.
F1 2017 Season

Easy overtake for Bottas with Kimi.
FFS! Hamilton above Kimi as well.
Less than 4 seconds between Bottas and Vettel.
Lewis trying to finish 3rd.
As long as Vettel finish second and Hamilton is kept out of the podium, I am happy with the result as Vettel would have increased his championship lead significantly. Still hoping Vettel can pip Bottas to 1st.
2.5 seconds between Bottas and Vettel! C'mon!
FECK YEAH COME ON VETTEL!
1.9! Wow!
1.2! Yes! C'mon c'mon!
Santi, what # lap now? And what's Hamilton's position?
feck OFF!
Vettel's last 10 laps was just majestic. Unlucky not to win. Still increasing their lead on Hamilton though.
FECK! I'm guessing he finish 2nd behind Bottas? If Bottas didn't jump-start apparantely that what's I've read, perhaps Vettel could have won? Still a great result though! Vettel championship lead increased! Feck off Hamilton you twat!
It was just a perfect start, tbhFECK! I'm guessing he finish 2nd behind Bottas? If Bottas didn't jump-start apparantely that what's I've read, perhaps Vettel could have won? Still a great result though! Vettel championship lead increased! Feck off Hamilton you twat!
If there is one more lap, Vettel would have won.
If my aunt had bollocks she would be my uncle.
The butthurt is strong.
what are you even on about it's your man that didn't winAs it stands, Vettel leads the driver championship by 20 pts.
I was thinking you are a Hamilton fan.
Oh nah, I don't really support drivers in F1 to be honest, I just like seeing good races!I was thinking you are a Hamilton fan.
Me too. Tbh I like the Seb/Ferrari combo and would love him to win it this year, but the fans of his/ferrari are such a bunch of dicks sometimes, it almost makes me want him to break down a bit more
Yeah I know what you mean. It wasn't until I read these F1 threads on the caf that I realised how into certain drivers people are. It never occurred to me before.Me too. Tbh I like the Seb/Ferrari combo and would love him to win it this year, but the fans of his/ferrari are such a bunch of dicks sometimes, it almost makes me want him to break down a bit more
Anyway I'm gonna go find some more shrines instead of causing trouble here
Ridiculous start by Bottas. Bit lucky, but wow 
Deserved win, great race from Seb, another great race overall
If only Kimi could keep up

Good start and end, but not a great race overall. Wish the predicted rain had happened.
That's the only thing that matters in the end.
We must have watch a different race. Not too much happened. Vettel passed how many front runners to get the description of great race?Ridiculous start by Bottas. Bit lucky, but wow

Will be tough for Hamilton to bring him back into his clutches. I suspect at least one more qualifying or race disaster for Hamilton which likely means Vettel would need two.
No doubt if I take max out his luck will change, so you can thank me now.

You would find a lot of Mercedes/Hamilton fans being dicks as well if you go on F1 forums like Planet F1. I guess it's fair to compare the fanboys of Vettel and Hamilton or Ferrari vs Mercedes to Messi and Ronaldo. Trust me, F1 fans aren't as bad though. Wait till you see the fan boys of tennis among the Big 4 esp those precious Federer and Nadal fans constantly debating who is the GOAT and bashing Djokovic.Yeah I know what you mean.

can't stand them.This all day long.
It's weird isn't it? Before the race, Vettel odds to win the driver championship is priced at 2.2 even though Hamilton has a 5 grid penalty and even after finishing in 2nd ahead of Hamilton in 4th, extending the championship lead from 14 pts to 20 pts, the bookies are still giving both of them the same odds. I don't get it. Is Hamilton really rated so highly? I always think that Vettel is the better driver. I bet if there's any Vettel fans/millionaires out there, he would have bet a significant sum on Vettel. Surely this has to be the most value bet of a sporting season.
I fell asleep it was that awful.
I think so. Vettel is always among the top 4, if not the top 2, while Hamilton is not so constant.
I've no doubt I would my friend!You would find a lot of Mercedes/Hamilton fans being dicks as well if you go on F1 forums like Planet F1.

Ferrari fans are a special breed though, kind of like the Scousers of the F1 world. They can do no wrong, even when blatantly cheating!
same here, I was on nights, had to get up after 2 hours sleep to take son to football, decided to stay up and watch his, but soon fell asleep woke up way after it had finished.
the start is about all I did see of it and I thought Bottas just got off to a very good start, it was close but did not think he jumped the start.
If that is real it sure looks like a jump start. Will hand Vettel more of a point gap. Surprised more isn't being made of it.
