How the fuck would you even able to predict that with the teams bringing in updates and everything? Or are you a fortune teller?

I'm not saying I'm sure who'll win. There are favourites based on who's car performs better under conditions defined by the track(climate and layout). I already explained that actually. If Mercedes want to protect their tires in ultra hot conditions, they'd prolly need to change fundamentals of their suspension design such as GoG. Something like that can't be changed before the season's break, maybe not even until the season's end.

Ferrari must be fuming about the decision to "release" the virtual safety car instead of the real one. That "undercut" cost Vettel about 15 seconds. Nice come back though.

Enjoy! I like Grosjean's move in particular. So spectacular! It looks like one of these moves kiddos on f1 2015 would try, except it worked without crashing the other driver off the track. :D

A dull race after the start again. However, the tension of a championship battle can make dull races interesting just for the context of the season so hopefully we'll see it ebb and flow between Ferrari and Mercedes throughout the season.

We haven't had a title fight between two top drivers from different teams with similar cars since 2008, best type of title fight for me.

Good to see Bottas get the better of Hamilton, both will need that if Mercedes are to be dominant. The team have a good lead on Ferrari (around 0.300 of a second if reports are to be believed) so they should win the race in some form if they're starting from 1 and 2. 

In order to win a race the tires need to last a little longer than a couple of hot laps. It's difficult even for a team like Mercedes to fix an issue like overheating rear tires within a week. On the other hand Ferrari had trouble with their electronics.

Verstappen crashed and caused a yellow flag. It looked like a beginner's mistake, but it was probably a mechanical failure.

yeah he said his brakes failed. poor.

This safety car was a massive help for Mercedes, but Vettel is ahead of Bottas nonetheless. 

Vettel now needs to drive fast enough to prevent Bottas from overtaking him, but at the sam time he needs to keep Bottas close enough to cause wear on Bottas' tires with his slip stream.

After lap 35 Vettel needs to maintain a lead bigger than 1s in order to prevent Bottas from using his DRS.
