well it was actually quite an exciting race with Ricciardo starting 16th (Vandorne took a late 25 grid penalty that upped Daniel 1 place.)
He then carved his way thru the field to fourth & on the tail of Vettel in third.
Daniel also got the fastest lap & voted driver of the day.
Also excellent drives by Ocon & Stroll.

Ricciardo starts in 16th position and still beats him in the race

Red Bull looking strong, Vettel jumped them in qually but hit the wall hard on the way, risk V reward.

What a disaster of a start. (see video link below)
Vettel was in the wrong, I don't see any other way!
Video link of start,
Hamilton drove a faultless race & Ricciardo drove the best he could to stay with him, excellent drives for both.
The race was actually quite interesting regards strategy with intermediates, wets, slicks & safety cars involved on the drying track.
Ricciardo was also suffering gearbox hydraulics pressure issues, so a stellar drive under the circumstances.
...."The team was asking me to manage the gears through the race and after I learned we had a leak and were losing oil pressure in the gearbox from early on. Of course I came here to win and really wanted it, but second place is great and Im not going to complain about it.

There was clearly plenty of space on that road, Vettel must think he is the only driver on the track and doesn't need to use the mirror when he crosses 'lanes'.
He deserved the result of his action but poor Verstappen and Kimi certainly did not.

I wouldn't say Kimi was free from fault either
Very poor driving for both red cars
The run to the first corner reminded me of smash up derbies, not premier class F1 racing.
Looked like a return of serve from Vettle, but it ended up costing the whole team
Would have been a heated debrief
Cost a lot of money and all the points....
And for once, Verstappan was the innocent party

Not the slightest bit of fault from Kimi.
Verstappen is clearly pushed from Vettel into Kimi.
Bevor Vettel's move there is clearly plenty of space for all of them.
This is a split second reaction thing and if you watch frame by frame you see Verstappen going a bit left already quite early but Kimi is already there so Verstappen trys to straighten out (fantastic reaction) but Vettel continues to push Verstappen into Kimi.
Vettel solely at fault.

Again, not a bad race, was hoping Max & Daniel could put more pressure on Lewis, but they couldn't, he seems to be able stretch when he wants.
Vettel didn't have a good day retiring after four laps at Suzuka following a spark plug failure.
I've never heard of anyone retiring with a spark plug failure, coil yes, maybe that's what they meant, as the coils are directly on the top of the spark plugs in a lot of modern engines.

Verstappen wins convincingly after Vettel & Hamilton clash on lap 1. Both pitting straight away, Hamilton flat tyre & Vettel nose cone.
