I think Lewis is going to come out swinging and **** on Nico's parade.
Hammy
Nico
Ricci/Max (can't decide)
Smoke from Nico's engine in FP2 but commentators deemed it "normal". Hmmmmmm. Looked like a 1982 Honda I once owned with 250k miles on it, but OK.

I'd agree and throw in the Fezzas. It will be the minor placings that make this race interesting.

If Nico can keep his head screwed on right it is his to lose!

Tells you how bad it is when Lucas Luhr taking a leak gets 35 posts and the Suzuka F1 race only six.
There was actually some good racing from second place back. I agree with Hobbs on the 2017 changes: wider cars and tires are great; more aero not so much...

Ok so let's talk about the block Max put on Hamster into the chicane. Good move or just plain crazy?
I think it was ok. He only made one move. It's for position. It's not like he has to relent. These guys should know what to expect from Max and make the appropriate counter move.
As far as more aero - they should know from past experience that it makes passing more difficult because it disturbs the air more and takes away downforce from the following car. Then we'll get complaints that there is no passing and the races are a procession.

Agreed, passing is so tough now if you are the trailing car and need to get any grip out of a corner. More aero is just going to make it even more a case of follow the leader and less exciting than it is now... At one point I actually thought Lewis would easily take P2 and possibly make a run at Nico then he got behind Max and the stupid lunge move aside it was like he was stuck behind a truck on a one lane road. There was nothing he could do out of the final corner to get a run even with DRS. Suddenly his car lost all it's composure.

that is what running out of laps/time does... it forces you to take the risk or accept your spot...
I think he took a calculated risk and knew he was going to take the exit road if he couldn't make it work and thus had no risk of losing his track position....
