Grand Prix of Australia 2017
Unfortunately the race Daniel Ricciardo was eliminated before it even started. Yesterday the Australian pilot suffered a crash in the final part of the qualification and last night had Red Bull to change the gearbox in his car, and today bad luck did not let him. Daniel stopped on the way to the starting grid and said on the radio that his gear box is blocked gear.
Excellent start for Lewis Hamilton, who led before Vettel and Botas to third turn. Back into the column Magnussen and Erickson strike and out in chipping and Lance dismounting progressing to the 15-position. After the second round of pit lane arises Daniel Ricciardo. His mechanics that did not stop working on the car during the formation laps and old, managed to repair the car and his Australian pilot starts.
Stofal Vandoorn with McLaren, which apparently began yet another painful season report on the radio that the board did not work. The response team is "doing well."
In the fourth lap Vettel is approaching threatening to Hamilton to 0.6 seconds, the stewards confirmed that consider incident between Eriksson and Magnussen. "It's hard to find grip," says Lewis on the radio, but recorded the fastest lap and goes beyond the DRS zone Sebastian.
Grand Prix of Australia 2017 In the seventh Ricardo is already close, but still behind by two laps. Red Bull encourage him to keep going.
In forehead Vettel still catching Hamilton after recording the fastest lap and the difference between the two is now 1.5 seconds. Back Vandoorn enters the pit lane, but not for changing tires and restart the engine. McLaren is still in front of the garage and the team instructed him what to do, manages and hitting. Hamilton did continue with complaints on the radio, this time its tires overheated. Bad news for Haas - Romen Grozhan arrives boxing smoking car, out of the cockpit and removable. Good for McLaren - Alonso became the tenth.
Then begin pit stops: in the 17th circumference that makes Lewis Hamilton and ultrasoft passes soft. Briton goes behind Giovinazzo and while Vettel leads from Ferrari it ensure that its tires look good.
"This competition is a critical need to overtake Verstappen," said Mercedes Lewis, but he meets, no how. The longer the delay Max Hamilton, the greater becomes the lead to Vettel, which pit the 24 th lap. Good stop for Ferrari and Sebastian returned to Lewis.

In the 38th lap Botas continues to be the fastest driver on the track. The difference between him and Hamilton is already under three seconds. Whether Mercedes will ask him to let him go, because obviously there are more chances to attack Vettel?
Ferrari's Kimi ninth song on the radio: "The race is not over, Hamilton complained of your tires. If you stop behind Verstappen will come." Tour later dropped out of the race rookie Lance formation with Williams.
