Now it sounds like HAM wants blue flags. Picking the funniest comment this race is going to be tough.

Looks like HAM and VET will have to do about a second a lap quicker than RIC to catch him.

I Can't like this post enough!! Would be so good to see him Win a race this year. Stroll would be stoked if he gets a podium within 8 races of his F1 career. Shoeys all round!!

BOT is looking quick and dangerous!

Yep.

Looks like they are going full distance.

All credit to RIC. Started in 10th but he did the work to be able to take advantage of the Bradbury.

Both RIC and BOT did Bradbury moves

Most entertaining F1 race for years! Maybe they should have random stop and gos for the front four cars by ballot every race!

Can't believe VET was only given 10 seconds for that absolutely disgraceful and deliberate car ramming he did. Whatever he 'thought' HAM had done his actions were incredibly dangerous, even worse than some of the acts of Shoe some years ago.

My TIVO recording lasted to 3 seconds after RIC crossed the line so I just caught BOT passing the poor Stroll who's done impressively well in this race.

Glad that I stayed up and watched it all - what fun . VET has undone all the great work he has done in the last season or two by this one brief moment of insanity, which is a shame, as he has matured a lot and shown some very good drives this season that have literally driven the wheels off that Ferrari to stay competative with the two Mercedes cars. Very nice drive by Dan and well worth watching if only for the smile on his face after the race, would have been fun if Verstappen hadn't had that engine failure though though I strongly suspect he might have ended up tangling wheels with either Orcon, Perez or Massa anyway.

The backsides of the Force India guys of Orcon and Perez must surely have an upcoming appointment with the boot of the team boss....

I don't think the drivers will agree with me but more "real" safety cars and less virtual safety cars for the crowd/viewers please!

Red mist and a red car

Agree with the choice of SC over VSC when you need lots of people in lots of different places on the track.
They need a safe gap to work, particularly when drivers are weaving to keep temps up.

At least for once they made an early call to let BOT unlap and he did it quickly

Ah schadenfreude when VET hits HAM.

Nobody watching the Austrian F1? Just finished, I'd have watched except I was walking the streets of Frankfurt

 

[JessicaTam]

I just got to the hotel in time to see the last ten laps.

RIC did well to fend of HAM in the last lap.

We are back at our hotel so I'm watching the post race discussion. Shame I can't understand German.

I am sure 'ausgezeichnet' is in there somewhere. (tr: 'excellent')

Was a boring race apart from the first lap and last couple.

Good to see a Red Bull within 5 secs of the leading Merc and Ferrari, on a circuit that doesn't suit.
Promising for the rest of the season

The next advancement in television needs to be the ability to select sub titles for many languages.
