Bottast supposed to hammer down the left at the start to overtake Verstappen.

That was fun.
Hamilton driving like the champion he is.
Absolutely. I'd love to know who made this error in the Mercedes garage. Such a big mistake at a crucial time.
So easy for Lewis, his cars about 1s/lap quicker than most of these.
It feels like that feck of from Merc could be huge. Lewis driving like this would’ve pissed the sprint and I’d have probably backed him to win the race from 6th
Hamilton's progress through the field is insane! I know he's very good but it shows just how superior the Mercedes is
Lewis driving like a man possessed, 13 places in 17 laps is stunning driving.
Lewis will easily finish 5th. Shows the gap in performance between a brand new Merc engine and everyone else.
The straight line speed on that new Merc engine is insane compared to everyone else, flew past these cars before the end of the straight.
This inadvertently shows how a reverse grid sprint race could work.
Wow. What a move by Hamilton on Lando.
Reverse grid sprints would be such fun
What an overtake by Lewis
Pretty woeful race from Perez.
Fantastic from Hamilton. Good drive from Bottas too.
Hamilton could win tomorrow
Fairly woeful season from him really. With how poor Bottas has been, RB should’ve had the constructors wrapped up by now I think, Perez really hasn’t pulled his weight
Great race!
Brilliant driving by Lewis.
What a drive from Lewis, he would have won this with ease.
Starting from 10th not ruling out a Lewis win.

That was beautiful from Hamilton. And great from Sainz as well. Sad for Gasly who will start 7th
What a bellend, whoever was on the radio for merc then...
Fantastic drive from Hamilton, another few laps he'd have finished 3rd
If he didn’t have the 5 place penalty, I’d fancy him for the win. It’ll all depend on where Lewis is after 3-4 laps I think, if he can make up 4 places quickly, he’s got an amazing chance
I quite enjoyed it
This has shown the excitement reverse grid races could bring imagine both Max and Lewis charging through a field
Also depends how hard he rode his tyres, and whether we get some rain too...
Can't speak for yourself, but merc fans will probably love it, but would be going ape if Honer said it
And people thought his season and title fight was over... 
Not when his car has a 30-40kmh straight line speed advantage.

To be fair there was no reason for Norris to try and stop him passing him as his grid penalty will put him behind Norris come tomorrow.
Do they start on the same tyres?
Probably right. I wouldn’t have minded it from Horner though. I do like dickhead comments like that
I think that they do? Happy for someone to correct me!
I missed that. What was it?
That was fun. Let's hope no one fiddles with Bottas' car now.
Provided he doesn’t get stuck in a DRS train there isn’t a single car that can defend that straight line speed with DRS now he’s figured out not to get too close and stuck in turbulent air the last corner. If bottas stays first and keeps verstappen behind him Lewis can definitely win this race.
Reminded Hamilton not to touch anyone else's car
Told him not to touch anybody else's car.
