Just seeing replays of the start and Valtteri Bottas got off superbly.
Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, also got off well, although not quite as well as Bottas on the dirty side of the track and he had a bit of a nervy moment as he ran wheel-to-wheel with Kimi Raikkonen down to the first corner.
It was the Williams of Lance Stroll that spun in the middle of traffic.
"I got pushed onto the kerb and spun," says Stroll.

A big win for Bottas. He got a good launch off the line, slip-streamed Vettel and then got past him.
Safety car out already.

All going on.
LIGHTS OUT!
What a start for Valtteri Bottas he has got ahead of both Ferraris!
The Finn leads the race.
Everyone is in their position on the grid, apart from Fernando Alonso obviously.
We're all set.
We've got another formation lap as a result of the McLaren breakdown. Away go the cars again.
