Toto just told MTV3 that the heat could be a major disadvantage. Valtteri will have a big challenge in his hands. Fingers crossed!!!

Will the heat make it more likely that Renault powered cars break down?

 

Will the cars have blistering due to the high speeds, high temps, and long stints?

 

Will Bottas be able to keep the Ferraris behind him?  

 

How far will Hamilton get up the order?

 

How far will Ricciardo get up the order?

Renault turned down the MGU-H's of RB and TR (and themselves) for reliability without telling their customers.. Max seemed gutted.

Easy win for Ferrari, Bottas stole the pole because vettel messed up, but racepace of Ferrari will be superior once again.

You cant overtake on this track and Bottas will have an advantage on the straights against the Ferraris...Best example is 2015 where Hamilton followed Rosberg for the whole race

Well having just heard that they detuned the Renaults of the RBRs, I think there won't be spectacular explosions.

 

Yes I think there will be at least one car that has to change to a two-stopper due to tyre issues.

 

No, I think Seb will pass Bottas and win, unless they **** up strategy royally, which we know is always a possibility with Ferrari.

 

Hamilton will get to 5th or 6th.  Ricciardo will be just behind.

We had 50°C in Hungary and it was still a one stop, surely not Pirelli!!!

Bottas doesnt have to worry about Ferraris. They are already breaking down in the grid.

They'll have to do it with pit stops, then.  Because if Ferrari are legitimately faster on race pace, they can get close and play the in lap/out lap/laps in clean air game.

Easy Vettel win (in the obviously vastly inferior car)

Hope Bottas can make this interesting but doubt it. Ferrari to do the quickest here today and it's just a question of when Vettel will take the lead.
