And on his return to F1 it's already gone wrong for Button as he takes a 15-place grid penalty for engine element changes.
Practice session 3 about to start and hopefully Hamilton will improve on Practice 2 when he only came in 8th.
Plus he got overtaken by Button in the McLaren which is not good!

It's nice to see Alonso doing well in the practice for the Indy 500. If he has a good race then maybe it will give him some confidence back and help McLaren improve this season. Let's face it, they can't get much worse.
Ditching Honda would do them a world of good for a start.

An excellent win for Hamilton after passing Vettel 20 laps from the finish and managing to hold on to his lead. In the end Vettel was catching him but the laps ran out and Hamilton finished 3.490 seconds ahead, with Ricciardo a massive 75 seconds behind in third.
After his engine problems in practice Bottas had more of the same in the race, being forced to retire after his engine blew up mid-race. In front of his home crowd Alonso couldn't make up the places after going across the gravel at the start and finished in 12th.
It was an entertaining GP and the modifications to the Mercedes cars have done the trick, Hamilton is now only 6 points behind Vettel, with Bottas a further 35 behind.

Wow what a start we've had! Vettel overtakes Hamilton to go into the lead, Verstappen and Raikkonen both break their suspensions in the first corner and are out, and Alonso wrecks his 7th place in qualifying by flying across the gravel and going right down the field.
If the rest of the race is like this we're in for a treat!

Five minutes until the off - come on Hamilton!
Vettel's Future
Interesting article here on Vettel's future, especially the bit about a pre-contract pact with Mercedes. I know it's all speculation but if he were to go to Mercedes who would make way for him, Hamilton or Bottas?

Hamilton just makes it onto pole by the skin of his teeth, just 0.051 seconds ahead of Vettel in second, with Bottas in third and Raikkonen in fourth.
It was a great drive by Hamilton, Vettel was far faster than him in the first two sectors but lost all that time and more in the third. However, the drive of the day probably goes to Alonso, who in front of his home crowd somehow managed to get his milk float into 7th on the grid.
