Force India had the speed to get 7th-8th, instead they start 11th and 13th... Interesting how the Haas speed went out the window( did they get our updates )

Hamilton DNF and Seb win, yes, nice Sunday.

If only........not that it would matter in the end, sadly.

exactly this....it will be inevitable until Hamster wins the WDC....if it's NOT this race ( due to say possible DNF), it will be next race...so the inevitable will happen anyway

[tifosi1993]

WDC is pretty much done and dusted but WCC is still possible.

Merc's tire strat looks concerning. They could be in a dilemma during the race IF a 2 stopper.

Everyone else looks good from a 2 stop perspective.

Yesterday the rain came later D Q said the forecast. Today there is probability D rain for the final part D the race Q reaches 70%. Moderate wind and q temperatures do not reach 20c

With such a huge difference between Ferrari, Merc and RBR and where every car is strong on the lap it's really going to be interesting. Personally I can't see how RBR will be able to keep both Ferrari and Merc behind them as they are more than 10 km/h slower on the straight for 71 laps. Even if they are quicker through S2 and S3 that speed can basicly only be used in clean air as you can't utilize it too close to someone infront. And with DRS from lap 2 onwards it's going to be hard even if they somehow survive the start. As for Ferrari vs Merc I guess tyre management will be the decisive factor. Merc will be more competitive compared to Austin as they now run the new rims again. Merc also don't have any new ultra softs left. So if everyone is forced on to two-stoppers they will be compromized.

hopefully the possible rain near the end of the gp stays away

The start is going to be mayhem.
I wont be surprised at all if either Seb or Ham gets taken out in the first lap. Maybe both. Along with max of course. Its a complete lottery.

Tyre stats looks interesting. Mercs in defensive, if it’s 2 stop Race.
I’m expecting high temp, this opens up the race.

Forza Ferrari!

PLEASE Seb.. no spin this time.

[mwk360]

lol i feel another spin is very very possible, but seb said next time he'l try overtaking on the outside so lets see

[FerrariSteve]

Ughh.. I decide to watch this one and I can't find a single stream that does stop every 8-10 seconds.

Turn one can be a hell of a pile up. Bottas or Kimi could very well be leading the race after turn one. The worst outcome would be everyone making it through turn one. Boooooooring.

Mathematically it’s possible. Logically, it’s over.

Forza Ferrari!

PLEASE Seb.. no spin this time.

[mwk360]

i thought kimi beat bottas in quali

[Christopher]

Turn 1 is gonna be fun

I’m expecting, everyone would be catious at turn one except mad max. He could cause or lighten up the show today at turn 1

[512 TR]

I will be very surprised of Max doesn't do something stupid to someone on the first and second row. Something is going to happen.

Good evening every one!

My hope is that Max goes all in. Takes out Danny and collects Lewis. Seb cruises to victory with Kimi passing Mr Potato Head for anFerrari 1-2. That would be fun to watch. Hamilton will still win his 5th title in Brazil but at least this will make it interesting.

[tifosi1993]

I think Ricciardo will be defending his pole more aggressively. He's not gonna let Max overtake him at the start, this is personal.

Let's hope Vettel will stay out of trouble at the start.
