    You can really see the speed of F1 cars when you see how far back the medical car is after 3 or 4 corners

    Full safety car now, will that benefit Ferrari now who didn't come in under the VSC?

    Insult to injury having Perez traveling back to the pits in that "thing"

    Horrible end to Perez's time at the team, he's been a brilliant driver for them. I hope we see him on the grid again

    Poor Perez, bowing out of F1 for 2020 riding in the back of a reindeer golfcart

    Will Max finish above Bottas in the championship with a win here?

    Only if Bottas finishes 6th or lower.

    No, Bottas will have to finish way down for that to happen.

    There's a TV series set in the 80s with a spooky undertone so Stranger Things has happened.

    Merc are babying the MGU-Ks in both cars, so probably explaining their lack of pace versus Max.

    Wouldn't be a F1 race without a messed up Ferrari strategy.

    Max saying it might be difficult to get to the end on the tyres. Thirty laps left.

    I thought after not going in under the VSC that they might have done it when it changed to the full SC - it is a bit strange isn't it? what were they hoping would happen?

    Max has just been on saying he thinks the one stop might be a struggle for all.

    In fairness to them, it was just a VSC that was expected to not take long, so not pitting on hard/medium tyres wasn't a bad idea.

    Once it went full safety car, then it retroactively was a poor decision.

    This is becoming a bit of a dull lights to flag victory for Max. Seems to plenty of variety in layout of the circuit so perhaps they should try a new layout for next year.

    Stroll just gone off the track on braking. Terrible setback for RP.
