We are back after a two week hiatus and the battle continues in Le Castellet, France this week-end. We shall see if Hamilton is just sandbagging or he has having some legit difficulties with new equipment. Bottas is running better as Vettel is mounting a pressurized charged. Should be another good race.

Hamilton comes out in practice guns ablazin' as he leads Ricciardo and Verstappen. I am sure Vettel will have something for him in qualifying but we shall see how this all plays out.

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......

They are getting ready for the green flag start as the safety car has been deployed.

Magnussen sure took advantage of the chaos, he hit the brakes to avoid a penalty for cutting the circuit, seeing that Verstappen didn't get one maybe Magnussen should have stayed on the gas and been in 3rd

Wow, Hamilton takes off and now leads Verstappen as Bottas and Vettel fade to the back of the pack in the chaos of that start. What the hell was that? Oh I forgot. They are in France.

Bottas and Vettel are making a charge to the front in a hurry though at lap 7.

Present standings have Hamilton leading followed by Kimi, then Verstappen, then Vettel.
