Everyone involved predicting safety cars on a very windy street circuit. Could be a blinder, hopefully without major physical threats to drivers.

Hamilton and Vettel on the front row, the fast starting nutters from Red Bull not too far behind.

Looking forward to it

Weirdly seems to be hardly anybody in the streets watching it, they're all just going about their Sunday business

Nice and humble from Lewis in the post race interview after having the race fall into his lap. Got to feel for Bottas

Incredible finish...bet the red bull garage is a tad feisty at the moment.

Wished I'd watched it, but I was working.

Is it repeated on TV later?

At least it got LH back on the winning trail and the good point was SV forced back into 4th.

Quality race.

Not sure who exactly is to blame at Red Bull but was always going to happen....think the move wasn't there for Riccardo

Same here, but drawn to the Olympic Stadium's football.

Wasn't it Ericsson's fault?

Verstappen causing an accident yet again. Moving multiple times whilst defending is dangerous an causes accidents. The is guy is undoubtedly fast but he's an absolute menace.

Grosjean stuffing his car into the wall while behind the safety car was comical.
And then it just got better when he said on the team radio it was hit by Ericson when there wasn't a car withing 30 metres of him.

These guys are all trained in the insurance mantra of "NEVER, ever say it was your fault".

Marvellous scenes ...

I went on a Lewis Hamilton 'experience day' last year.
My driving improved immensely but my dress sense is now shocking.

Gotta feel for Red Bull but the incident was great for the spectators of F1.

I should imagine Red Bull boss Christian Horner was a little bit annoyed with his two drivers

Well done the Hamster on gaining his first win of 2018
