    Was gonna say hopefully Perez is just minding tyres but aside from Monaco really there's no point in trying an overcut.

    This race is such a procession after a few laps. DRS is of not much use and barring rain or an error by someone, it's pretty boring.

    Bono isn't paid enough.

    The gap between the onboards and wide shots is ridiculous. Looks like they changed focus each time they cut away from an onboard.


  • Registered Users Posts: 119 ✭✭CRI0ST0IR


    This is going to be a snooze fest...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    10 laps in. Well done everyone so far for hanging around.

    Only hope is Verstappen timing the undercut well. After that can turn off.

    Dunno about that. The Joshua Tree was a big seller for him.

    The only royalties Bono sees is Sir Lewis :D

    Nice move from lando there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,338 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Unfortunate mistake by max is making this race kind of a procession baring some **** up by merc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Well done McLaren, now catch up with the LeClerc and take him!

    Vettel flying in those hard tyres.

    Was just about to say that the McLaren's are the only ones looking comfortable out there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,268 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    Hopefully merc make a mess of Lewis’ pit stop


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,790 ✭✭✭✭Burkie1203


    Bottas gonna get a penalty for that


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I ****ing hate these ****ing tyres.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,292 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    You'd wonder how much the Sky lads are watching,

    Russell passed Latifi quite a while before they mentioned it, then saying the McClaren tyres are looking good while an on-board of Lando shows probably the worst looking front left we have seen so far.

    McLaren are flying comparatively though.

    Bottas told to go there.

    Two stopper?

    They are, but I'm sure Brundle was talking about the tyres.

    Will be interesting to see.....I was about to say how Danny Ric does, and that undercut has done them the world of good.

    Nah, harder, fresher tyres going on with less fuel. Tiptoe around til the end.


  • Site Banned Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭Faugheen


    Super laps from LeClerc and Ricciardo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    Merc leaving Hamilton out is a bit dodgy


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Sainz hangs on longer than anyone else and gets passed. No benefit to minding tyres. Just a nonsense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,292 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    So the undercut is working, can see the gap between Max and Bottas there,

    How is it going to affect Hamilton, soon to be seen.

    Max making up for lap one there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,187 ✭✭✭McFly85


    Get in Max


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,338 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    That was close but max verstappen is ahead of Lewis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,329 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    Yes!!!!

    I was looking at the times and I thought Verstappen had got under 25s. Great out-lap from Max


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,292 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    Game on again, a quicker pitstop than Max but Lewis still comes out behind.


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Looking forward to the memes of Mercedes lads dressed up in Ferrari gear. :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,977 ✭✭✭TheDoctor


    Didn’t see that happening


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,268 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    Ok this is a bit more interesting, Perez still has to pit

    Not sure you want to be hearing your engineer saying "not sure what happened there"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,338 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    The team saying they don’t know what happened.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Class by Max and RB to get back race position.

    Bono’s not sure what happened haha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,292 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    "calm yourself down Max" :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 515 ✭✭✭Lawlesz


    Bono is so cringe, even when he's breaking bad news he does it in a chirpy voice, as if he's hoping to disarm Lewis from going off on one


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    If Verstappen goes handy now he could bring Perez back into play for the end of the race. But he looks like he closing up rapidly on Perez. Perez only just gonna get out ahead of Norris at this rate.


  • Site Banned Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭Faugheen


    Haven't heard Max that agitated in the middle of a race like that before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,338 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Not the normal calm max on the radio.
