Vettel doing a Schumacher, trying to defend his pole position aggressively. He had to go for it, one of the few tracks where he could compete with Mercedes.

With so many safety cars the race will be time limited and will not run the full laps. Under eleven minutes to go.
Pity Vettel crashing out; we were robbed of a good race.
Lewis Hamilton wins. Maximum points.

Was going well in all the practices but will start at the back because of an engine problem in qualifying.

Further trouble for Ferrari. Kimi Räikkönen’s car is wheeled of the start grid and won’t be racing.
Mx Verstappen has a good start and overtakes Lewis Hamilton. Both Red Bulls look good.
Good drive from Sebastian Vettel. Up to fourth from the back of the grid.
Max Verstappen wins.
Lewis Hamilton is second.
Daniel Ricciardo is third.
Sebastian Vettel fourth.
Final drama for Sebastian Vettel. On the cool down lap he collides with Lance Stroll. Still gets fourth because it is after the flag.
