BOTTAS PASSES oCON WITH EASE. He's now P3
Vettel and Hamilton now closing on Ocon
Lap 41 and Perez retires again.
Vettel has passed Ocon, but Hamilton hasn't yet.
Ham passes Ocon now, but has lost time to Vettel.
5 laps remaining. Can anyone catch and pass anyone else?
Raikkonen's running last - he's in the pits now and looks like he's retiring again too!
Well, Bottas did, passed Stroll more or less on the finishing line!
I wasn't fussed who won this year, now I'm anyone but Vettel
Vettel hitting Hamilton like that was out of order
A 10sec penalty!!
A ban is in order
oops! Forgot to update this earlier.
When I switched on the computer, I caught the news page telling us that Hamilton was fastest in Q1. Why? The fastest in Q1 (and Q2) doesn't necessarily mean much as it could all change (go wrong) in Q2 and/or Q3. Who is out in Q1 (and Q2) is more meaningful, IMO.
Highlights of the race will be on channel 4 in a few minutes!
3 different teams on the podium!
anyone to win apart from Vettel...moany cheating git
Wig Daddy and Heir Flick need to grow up
Well done to Bottas though I doubt it will save his seat for next year
Shame Kimmi couldn't catch Hammy - thought he was going to pass him but fell away badly
Don't expect Kimmi to have a seat next year

By the skin of Botas' teeth!
There was rain.........what a surprise!
Did Hammy get a penalty for impeding Grosjean?
Not sure if it's been decided yet!
Still haven't come across anything about the outcome of the Hamilton/Grosjean investigation. So I've either missed it or it still hasn't been resolved. One thing you can bet on though, if the outcome was against Hamilton, it would be plastered all over the place and you would hardly be able to move for hearing/seeing about it!
Palmer retires on the formation lap. Start aborted and they're having another formation lap!
Mayhem again! Safety Car deployed.....and it's only lap 2!
SC in at end of lap4
It's on Channel 4 this weekend.
I watched the qualifying yesterday - not sure why, but it didn't feel or look like Spa!
Singapore qualifying live on C4 now.
Race day...........
Well. for goodness sake and heavens above and maybe a wee bit of bad language!
Lap11, 2nd safety car!
Oh my! 3rd safety car. Lap 38 of 61
It's counting down now for a 2 hour race.
Only 12 runners left. Massa and Wehrlein the only ones not in points positions, at the moment.
So predictable, so pathetic! They have voted Hamilton as driver of the day, But what did he do to deserve it? Nothing in my view. Starting 5th he was able to avoid the stramash that removed the 4 in front of him......and that was it!
P.S. In my view no-one deserved 'Driver of the day@.
me >>>>>>
Vettel - arrogant, self serving, reckless
Vettel gets a 20 place penalty for the crash in Singapore. There's a bit of speculation as to why he puts in no time in qualifying as he will start P 20 anyway, but wouldn't that be to his OWN disadvantage? Surely you would want to get as high up the grid as possible so that you would use up as many penalty places as possible and have as few as possible to carry over to the next race?
Only highlights on C4. 1 pm Saturday for qualifying.
Race highlights on C4 at 3 pm
