Wow, that footage of the Force India sliding across the pit exit in front of both Williams

That is gas the two lads coming out of starting from the pit to that :pac:

flazio

Man that was lucky with the Force India.

Jesus I was not expecting Hamilton to be hit from Raikkonen just after the race start. A wheel on wheel between those two.

What a race we have now today. This is going to be good.

Perez is a lucky boy

skipper_G

Jesus that was a close one for Perez, he almost wiped out the Williams exiting the pitlane

Ghost Train

Doesn't look like any body work damaged for Hamilton. The force India across the pit lane exit must have been surprising for the williams

Very lucky.

Hamilton already in 11th

The top 5 are stretching a big gap over Hulk

There can't be much wrong with his car and it's clearly not broken as he claims.

donspeekinglesh

Ten sec penalty for Kimi

flazio

10 second penalty.
Taking one for the team.

dublinman1990

I think Hartley is definitely out this time.

Hamilton is still having trouble with the car.

Raikkonen has a 10 second penalty in the pit lane.

Grim.

consistency from the stewards....

Ghost Train

Wonder will Vettel pit early and try keep track position over Hamilton

VonZan

Think that's a bit harsh on Kimi. I don't think Hamilton left him enough room but I'd like to see it again.

finnharpsboy

Hamilton up to 8th

There was enough room for Kimi, if he didn't outbreak himself.

That would involve him having a competent strategist.

4,5,6th are still possible for him

If he pits now he would be in front of Hulk but then the tyre has to last longer and overtaking seems possible

Hamilton passes hulkenberg for 6th

Top 6, you mean - Hamiton just strolled past him ...

11 laps in, already one eye on the tyres ... if there's a safety car, I expect everyone will hit the pits just for safety.

Probably not necessary for them to cover Hamilton and better to keep going longer into the race while his tyres are good

Wait he is in front of Kimi with the penalty now, even a podium is possible now

I knew it wouldn't be long before Hamilton was blamed for Kimi outbreaking himself.

Hamilton nowhere near the apex. Kimi had loads of room.

Lewis is doing well here to be gaining back the places. He is now in 6th place. If he keeps it a consistent level to win the GP again for a 6th time; he is definitely one lucky boy if he is the outright winner with 40 laps to go.

Kimi on the radio is always great.

If M50 traffic was like the traffic Hamilton had it'd be great. :pac:

Could end up close with Kimi and Hamilton, might end up close for Hamilton's fuel use.

the_pen_turner

it shows how bad the rest of the field is . hamilton overtakes 2\3 of the field in 12 laps

Cool_CM

Unhappy Kimi

skipper_G

A safety car would bring Hamilton right back into play, it's not impossible for a podium

donspeekinglesh

The gap between the top three teams and everyone else is ridiculous. Forgot LMP1/LMP2, this is more like LMP1/GTE.

He was able to cruise through people not fighting him. Seeing the pace the Red Bulls have Hamilton should be easily in 4th if his fuel usage doesn't hurt him later.

Rossi IRL

Hamilton pushing as hard as he is is just going to shred his tyres.

Will probably need to save fuel later aswell.

finnharpsboy

Kimi pits

dublinman1990

Kimi in the pits.

kopite386

Kimi to crash into Hamilton again when he tries to catch up and overtake him ? :pac:

donspeekinglesh

The Williams cars are a minute down already, after only 14 laps

Absolutely, it's the biggest problem F1 has. And people complain about theme songs, graphics and logos all the while probably cheering on the front 3 teams

dublinman1990

Kimi is on medium tyres now.

Will Hamilton use the Hard tyres for the rest of the race by doing a one time pit stop?

TheDoctor

Can the mediums do 39 laps?

the_pen_turner

have we seen any overtaking yet.
