Feel weird to think this is their first pole since July

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Looking forward to the race tonight. Hopefully not a track limit penalty party.

Bottas to win and HAM to be punted off at T1

Would make the championship more exciting!

Nah, Lewis isn't on the grid next to the driver with special educational needs - he should be okay

Agreed. Romain starts from 17th.

At last, my home Grand Prix!

You don't have to be 30-40 lbs overweight and wearing a comically oversized cowboy hat to enjoy this race...but it can't hurt!

I'm excited, I actually really like this track. It will be more fun in '21 I think when the new aero rules kick in, but hopefully we'll see something fun today, too.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Great start by Verstappen!

 

[BrainsBush]

What's happening with Vettels start? Great overtake move of Lewis. Lando!!!

 

[Nick Hill]

Damn...the bumps on this track! They need to get that fixed, makes it seem as though the track isn't being taken care of.

Did RAI gain 8 places in one lap?

I think 6 places by my count - still impressive!

Massive

You are right. Six it is.

Vettel is done! First victim of the bumps?

 

[Nick Hill]

Crofty on Kimi: "I wonder if he's going to go soft, then hard". Are we still talking about the race? Does he know he's being broadcast on midday over-the-air US TV?!? We're a little squeamish of that kind of that kind of talk, sir!

"Track is not bumpy you F1 losers!"
Leclerc pedal broke at practice, now vettel car broken
i know it might be not the bumps effect, but that was the joke

 

[Nick Hill]

I wonder if something was messed up with Seb's suspension right from the start, then it finally just gave way from all the bumps.

And the damaged rearwing of Max #33 replaced just before the start. Not 100% if that is/was the result of the bumpy road? But the so called experts think it is. Rearwing handed over to FIA officials for further inspection

Verstappen his rear wing was replaced on the grid because of a crack. Must be due to these bumps as well.

Yeah that could be the explanation, a little damage and then a bump
