[Retroram52]

Gosjeans for Haas is at a solid ninth.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow. Raikkonen takes over the lead.

 

[Retroram52]

Gorsjeans has moved up to eighth!

 

[Retroram52]

After pit stops, Hamilton re-takes the lead followed by Verstappen, Ricciardo, Vettel, and Bottas is sixth.

 

[Retroram52]

Raikkonen falls to fifth.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow, Raikkonen passed Vettel and Red Bull solidifies second and third.

 

[Retroram52]

Bottas is the pits.

 

[Retroram52]

Bottas comes out of the pits in ninth.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Calmed down a bit since the start, Hamilton was unchallenged today

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Sainz with problems! That will allow more points for Haas and Magnussen!

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Magnussen has 3 more laps to try to hold off Bottas, this yellow could help

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Looks like my comeback tour starts now as I will have the most points this race, I have a lot of ground to try to regain though

 

[Retroram52]

Magnussen is up to sixth. Wow, Haas is getting closer to the earlier form in the season.

 

[Retroram52]

Vettel is fifth and Bottas is seventh.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Variations on similar themes......

No love for the have nots.

If you just started watching F1 today, you'd be wondering why McLaren and Williams bother......

I think Perez and Gasly are the drivers who don't drive for the top 3 teams that managed to penetrate the top 4.

The odds are so dramatically against them

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Magnussen is up to sixth. Wow, Haas is getting closer to the earlier form in the season.

good weekend for him

Excellent finish for Haas and much needed

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Leclerc with 4 points finishes in the last 5 races...driving a Sauber

that is rather remarkable

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton wins it followed by Verstappen, Raikkonen, and Ricciardo. Vettel is fifth followed by Haas' Magnussen in sixth, and Bottas finished a dismal seventh after getting caught in a chaotic start. Good race again.
