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.
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.
Needs Bottas to hold Max up for as many laps as possible. If he can do it for 10 and Lewis get to 5th, he'll have a shot.
That's if Bottas doesn't surprise us all and go win it
I’m not sure mate. Very valid point you’ve raised if they do though
Max has had poor starts recently bar Mexico. But his race pace is so good I think if he really wanted to he can work up through any loss of position to Sainz and overtake Bottas who will crumble to the pressure. Lewis needs to catch a few drivers napping.
Had the stewards already called the rear wing in for inspection BEFORE Max fingered it?
No idea, I missed all of yesterday, didn't realise quali was yesterday
Max has to get a good start and be ahead of Bottas tomorrow. Hamilton could easily win this and the remaining races considering each track has a long straight giving them an edge. Funny how this championship just continues to swap around.
Of course not that was directly after Qualifying.
Looks like there probably won't be rain tomorrow... shame that would have made it really interesting
The key for Hamilton is getting past the Aston’s, Alpha Tauri’s, and McClarens ASAP. He has a significant straight line advantage over the Ferrari’s I think so he should be in a good position to pass those, but tomorrow when he also has to think about tyre management, if he gets stuck in a DRS train with those guys that’ll potentially be a problem.
Yes his car is going to be far superior to a lot of the grid, but take nothing away from Hamilton there. What a drive that was. Ominous form heading into tomorrow if he can replicate anything even close to that.
The reason I asked (and thanks for so politely putting up with my clearly stupid questions) is there a suggestion that Max was simply trying to bring it to stewards attention.
(though I'd have thought such things would be checked regardless?)
