Agree that Uruguay were impressive, them vs France in the quarter finals is going to be good. Belgium last night was a great comeback, but I was gutted for Japan who were excellent and a lot better than I thought coming into the tournament. England tonight, 50-50 game. Not sure England will ever get...

Britain

1. Hamilton
2. Bottas
3. Vettel
4. Verstappen
5. Ricciardo
6. Raikkonen
7. Magnussen
8. Sainz
9. Leclerc
10. Grosjean

JN23

I think 19th is the highest I've ever finished

JN23

Well done Verstappen, he's driven really well the last few races.

JN23

Hamilton was on course to be 31 points clear of Vettel early in the race, now he is one point behind. VSC strategy + both cars having mechanical issues = terrible day for Merc.

JN23

Merc making a mess of the VSC again

JN23

Wonder where that leave Sainz/Hulk then... could one of them swap places with Alonso at McLaren?

JN23

Three place drop for Vettel! Surprising.

JN23

This is the Vettel blocking Sainz incident in Q3- looks like he impeded Sainz to me but as both got into Q3 so I don't think Vettel will be penalised.

On team radio he said he felt he was just there to punch a hole in the air for Max. Horner said that they'd change it around for the last run, not sure whether they did?

JN23

Well done Bottas. 3/10s from Merc to Ferrari on a very short lap, ominous? That's a real surprise (the gap). Would like to see if Vettel made an error, or if that is just true pace. He looked a little hesitant but no obvious mistake. He did have purple (i think) for S2 though which is when I though...

Assume Vettel made a mistake? Bit of pressure on Hamilton to beat Bottas now he doesn't have a very good banker

Vettel under investigation for impeding Carlos Sainz https://twitter.com/benjhunt/status/1013056322928021504

JN23

Yeah I guess you are both right on needing someone with experience. Should they not chase someone like Perez instead then? There's been a few stories they've offered Ricciardo a lot of money to join them who would fit the bill but that's not going to happen.

Hope he doesn't take it as it would be a waste of a seat IMO. Would rather see a young driver take it.

JN23

Any grid penalties this race? Not as of now but Verstappen & Leclerc had car issues in the dying moments of P3. Confirmation all is fine yet to come from both the teams. Verstappen's issues looked more electrical whereas Leclerc believes it was an engine issue. Leclerc has a 5 place grid penalty fo...

Verstappen engine issue... (or electrical maybe according to Chandhok)

Looking surprisingly close between Ferrari and Mercedes at the moment. Have to say with all the upgrades Mercedes have brought I was expecting a bit of a gap. Don't know who's turned up the power yet of course but hoping it stays this competitve I feel like if Hamilton can put a proper lap together...

JN23

I doubt Mercedes will let Ocon go to be honest. He's their Verstappen/Leclerc. I can see McLaren trying for Perez again though, if it doesn't work out with Ricciardo... which would free up the spot for Russell at Force India. They could loan him out like Sainz to Renault for a year (or two if neede...

JN23

If Ticktum can scrape enough licence points together I would expect to seem him in the STR in 2019. The driver I worry for is Russell. If he wins F2 this season where does he go? This is a good point. Possibly a year in another series (no idea which) and then into FI for 2020? I'd assume that eithe...

Hamilton, Raikkonen and Magnussen for me. Magnussen has impressed me on the whole this season.

I said France before the tournament started but I'm not so sure now. They rather remind of the England team of 10 years ago: lots of great individual players but with no idea of how to gel them together into a team. Looks like they're just trying to put their best 11 players on the pitch and hoping...

Good to see Australia giving it to France.

1-1 with halfa to go.

Australia were a lot better than I thought they would be and unlucky not to get a point.

JN23

I have a feeling Argentina will win it for some reason, not sure why. Tonight's game between Spain and Portugal is the best I've ever seen in the world cup (first world cup I remember is 2002). I love Ronaldo and he is just sensational. If we get even one other game like that this tournament then we...

This idea might have made today's race more interesting

I went Vettel, Verstappen and Leclerc. Honourable mention to Grosjean who had a very solid race.

JN23

109 for me. I hope I'm better at the world cup prediction tournament I entered.

I can't remember the last time Brundle and Crofty were so bad at commentating in the race. I hope Sky get a better line up next year!! They both made countless mistakes. The amount of times they seemed convinced (Ted too) that Raikkonen was going to come out ahead of Hamilton despite not being far ...

JN23

One of the more genuinely boring races this season, especially after qualy promised so much. As I said earlier, Mercedes had better hope this delayed engine has the beans; right now Vettel looks half a street ahead. In the wider picture, getting sick to death of all the front runners driving well w...

Drab race. Vettel excellent. Verstappen very good all weekend. Hamilton meh. Hopefully France is better than this

JN23

Kimi is great for Vettel in the sense he won't fight him for the championship but surely you want a number 2 who can stand up and be counted when it matters. Kimi should have qualified ahead of Hamilton in Baku and Canada, these can be race changing moments which having a rear gunner can influence ...
