Now THAT is a first lap!
 
You can watch it online.

Is it me or did you see something fly off Rosberg's car?
 
Lighting starts from Di Resta and Maldonado!

Yep. It looked like the car was leaning and bouncing off the left side after he cut the chicane. The team say there's no damage though.
 
Great defense from Vettel, holding off three cars at the start. And all clean... though if Grosjean hadn't kept it together there, that would've ended in tears.
 
Hmm, Seb is having rear grip issues? Normally you'd associate that with MGP.

Hope so. I'd like a Hamilton/Grosjean top 2.
 
Hamilton pits, surprisingly few issues with his tyres so far.
 
First pits. Good one for Lewis.
 
Can ham stay out in first when they pit. IF Grosjean pits.
 
Lewis havign a good rythme after getting out of pits. Currently he's running faster than Vettel/Grosjean
 
That worked out so well for Lewis. Quite a bit ahead of Seb, who also has Jenson in the way!
 
Oh boy, Vettel is behind Button. At least Button is yet to pit.
 
Worked for Hamilton. Hold him up button!!!
 
Lewis has to watch the tires. That pit was bang on schedule. Good thing Button didn't hold him up.
 
Now it's the hard tyre compound, if Mercedes can make it last, Hamilton might win this. I'm excited now, didnt really believe Hamilton could do it today.
 
Great pit work by Lotus!

Vettel just doesn't seem to have the pace today.

What? Grosjean is still behind him last time I check. How about the Mercedes beeing faster than anticipated rather ?
 
Vettel is too slow in a line to overtake the Mclaren. But Jensen is too slow to pull away in the rest of the track so Vettel is stuck up his exhaust. Meaning his car will overheat and the loss of downforce will let him slide more, ruining the tires. Pull back a bit and Grosjean will close up.
 
The RB looks too slow in the straights for Vettel to get past, really playing in to Hamilton's hands.

EDIT: Tree'd
 
Oh my god! Big Jeans! So close! Jenson seriously needs to pick up the pace.
 
If Grosjean passes Vettel he'll dispatch Button quickly.
 
Vettel damaged his wing against Button. And now has cooling issues.

I think Grosjean is going to have second soon.
 
It is nice to see Vettel sweating by someone who is pushing him.
 
I'd be more inclined to say that Grosjean is losing the race behind Vettel than Vettel was behind Button.
 
Cracking race so far!
 
All of this defensive driving is going to ruin the tyres on Vettel's car. Even Alonso's caught up to the fight since they've fallen back from Button.
