Having been jumped at the start Hamilton now looking quite competitive. This could be another interesting Grand Prix....or not

Interesting that Lewis sounds out of breath.

Shaping up to be a good race this.

Bottas really messing up Vettel at the moment. This is setting up nicely. Nice overtake by Vettell

Bottas being a good a lad letting Lewis go through.

Is Lewis going to be able to go the distance on soft tyres, or will he build up enough of a lead to get another pit stop in?

Edit, that'll be a no

Dunno.

Could get a bit feisty at the end.

Hamilton sounds very breathless and hyper today, Vettel very cool. I think Vettel may win, sadly.

Or is Hamilton bluffing and taking care of his tyres.

A decent race but then the Spanish GP normally is. Only been the once but was a cracker - it was just before Alonso suddenly got the Spaniards interested in four wheel racing, rather than just bikes, and tickets were dirt cheap. Had grandstand by turn 1 and it was as cheap as general admission sprawling on grassy banks is at most other circuits.

Anyway, well done Lewis - and sets things up nicely for Monaco in a fortnight. Thank goodness for F1 while we wait for the footy season to restart.

Great race today after not being enthralled by the start to the season this year.

Have tickets to Spa for my 30th birthday which I will be attending with the old man. Never been to a GP before but have followed for years and can't ****ing wait!
