    Max can lose around 0.8 second a lap and still win.

    If Lewis catches Max, I can see Max not letting him pass.......... at all costs

    11 seconds behind 6 laps ago and now leading. Brilliant stuff from Hamilton.

    I did not want to go into the summer break with a Hamilton win. Feck it!

    Ah well let’s see if Vettel can get Leclerc now.

    Red bull dropped the ball there. Should have pitted for softs when max was 10 seconds ahead. An easy pass on Hamilton then when he caught back up with him. It was clear they were gonna be sitting ducks at that stage

    They had a window to react as well. Terrible mistake in the end. Even after they saw the first lap on the Mediums they could have pulled him in and given the chance for him to overtake Lewis.

    Got to hand it to Hamilton and Merc. That was an amazing drive and strategy.

    Let’s hope Red Bull can bolt on some more pieces to that car before Spa!

    Ferrari need to really look at the direction of their development.

    Race won on strategy, really clever call from Merc and well executed by Hamilton. Shame for Max, would have been nice to see him convert pole for the win.

    Special mention to Sainz, he's really impressed me this season putting in a series of mature performances. And also to Russell who managed to beat Stroll & Giovinazzi on track.

    Bottas had a shocker, if all the rumours about this being a crunch race for his seat next season are true then he can kiss that one goodbye. Same goes for Gasly for that matter.

    If Max can finish the world championship in 2nd it would be a huge achievement considering before the season started all the talk was Marc v Ferrari and Hamilton v Vettel.
