    If Hamilton stops once more than easy red bull win. If no more stop Verstappen will have to overtake Hamilton

    Which he will easily do on fresh softs.

    Interesting how the strategic advantage has swung back and forth between RB and Merc.

    Checo had laps deleted yesterday for doing what both mercs do at turn 4

    Why are they allowed do that

    It seems a bit unfair although max was told to do it until told by the stewards tell them to stop.

    Now the warnings are coming for corner 4,

    Lewis response is I thought there were no track limits.

    Seems like the marshalls were not bothered until Redbull told Max to start doing it?

    And there we go about turn 4. So Lewis don’t do that again.

    They've just been warned about it. Lewis on the radio "But I've been doing it all race". Bono: "Yep, and they getting a bit bumpy about it now".

    Or maybe red bull did to get their attention and stop the mercs doing it.

    So Hamilton and Bottas gaining advantage for multiple laps and a Merc could win the race because of it.

    Very impressed with Tsunoda. With a first race like this he has a cracking career ahead of him.

    Now ? It’s clearly in rules and it was pointed out yesterday so not sure why they are shocked now.

    Yup, some lovely passive-aggressiveness.

    I wonder was that message to Max RB’s subtle way of alerting the stewards to Mercs behaviour at turn 4.

    Yeah but is that not the same thing?

    It is quite obvious that the mercs had not been warned about it, why?

    If anyone can manage the tyres it's Hamilton.

    They shouldn’t have had to be warned because yesterday the stewards set out their stall with turn 4 and it was to not go wide at that corner. Lewis going “what me ?” is a bit hard to believe.
