Amazing race so far though.
Hoping for a Max, Leclerc, Norris podium.

100% on Russell that, like the kid all you want but some people go to outrageous extents to pretend he can do no wrong. Was the same last year at this track where people blamed the car for when he spun behind the SC.
Bottas did definitely twitch slightly.
Unfortunate incident but you can understand the reaction from Russell to also move slightly. Just unfortunate the grass is wet.
I can see why they'll blame each other on this one

On the replay, it appears Bottas did veer right ever so slightly. GR must have shit himself.
I don't even know if you can properly assign blame for that incident given the part of the track and the speed. Bottas definitely twitched but there was still room. Russell looks like he panicked in reaction and lost it.
Maybe more on Russell than Bottas but definitely a racing incident.

I’m still not sure who to blame entirely if anyone at all. George seems incredibly level headed and it’s strange seeing him so worked up. That said, the replays don’t help much and the one thing they undoubtedly show is George hitting Bottas. Will be interesting what the final take is. Also interesting what Mercedes will make of all this and the incident with Hamilton which also involved George Russell
Great race so far but this red flag is annoying as an United fan. 
I like Russell but the accident is on him. Basically the track is too narrow and the braking zone starts at an angle. You need to be alongside before then to try a move. By the point he was at you're better off braking early and pulling out of the move, try again next lap.
It was a bit more to it than that, Lando was in 9th or 10th place after the first lap and didn’t spend that many laps behind Ricciardo once he caught up to him.
He was a lot faster after he passed him though.
This race is going to clash with the United game now isn't it?
Tell you what as well, with Lewis it looks so clumsy in that gravel trap hitting his front wing but if he doesn’t do that he’s beached and out of the race.
I mean he does have gravel trap experience after all

yes it is.
Very generous that half the field is able to unlap themselves
"Valteri this is James, we need you to help unlap Lewis"
"feck off James"
"feck off James"
Hurry up for fecks sake.
Resumes in 10 minutes.
Need this to get going again soon.
lapped drivers can unlap themselves, Lewis in 9th with new mediums and a new front, seeing how this race has unfolded so far, not ruling anything out.
Hope we get more rain!
Russell really is the golden boy of sky isn't he? Can't do any wrong

watch the replay from behind and look how much space bottas has inside him.
he’s either moved across for the corner not knowing russell is there or he did it intentionally to try and hold the position.
obviously russell dipping into the grass causes the contact but you can’t solely blame him at all.
That crash sort of masked an absolute stinker for Bottas anyway.
You would expect Hamilton to get up a few places from there but it’s a tough place for overtaking apart from the main straight.

My fantasy team sitting pretty at the moment
I would just chalk it off as a racing incident and move on. Main thing is both drivers are OK. Neither has covered themselves in glory and its had the same result for them both.
Need Lewis to overtake a few , hopefully 8
Max starting on the wet side?
That's definitely a sending off
Isn't it an SC start?
Verstappen 1st. Perez 4th. Hamilton 9th. Bottas DNF.
Christian Horner is loving life right now.

Apparently so yes
get on with it !
There's more incidents to be had this race.
Lando is brilliant
Surely them soft tyres will drop off on Norris towards the end?
I love Imola
Seems so. Leclerc already faster
Curse of the 2nd Red Bull seat continues
Oooooooh wow hamilton
