    I think they had to be the first to go, considering where Perez is too - he will still be a massive tool to them. (if the mercs do pit of course).

    Max has to pass Bottas of course if they don't pit and who knows what his tyres will be like when he gets to them. I think they went a few laps too early for those tyres to be comfortable getting to the end with.

    Max closing the gap very well, that on-board also shows minimal to no wear on his front left.

    So unless they just decide to drop off all of a sudden this looks good for Max.

    Max pulls into shot just behind Bottas just as Bottas reckons he has no fronts left on the car.

    10 laps age difference between mediums and hards, hope Verstappen hasn't used them up already. :/

    Amazingly no reliability issues for cars this far into the race.

    Pirelli said the hard compound tires should last 45 laps and they were basically done at 20 ish?

    Pirelli are great though.

    Max will have a dress rehersal here on Bottas in terms of following the same car,

    The driver will be a different story alltogether.

    So max has two laps more to go at Lewis. Bottas isn’t wrong though. They want him to hold up max on duff tyres. You can’t have both.

    I understand your message Bottas - but you will lose a bit more face if Perez gets ahead of you.

    Red bull went too early for this strategy. Those tyres have nothing left. Think they were betting on those hards falling off way worse than this.

    Really have questions about these AWS graphics. 10% tyre performance and Ham lapping away nicely? :D

    Might just work before the end but yeah, 10 laps difference in age between Mediums and Hards isn't huge.

    I noticed that earlier on, maybe 10 laps ago. Hamilton had said his rear tyres were good and that aws had them at 10% at that point.

    Should be a 5 second penalty for Hamilton for track limits. :pac:

    Max has found some more pace now. Just under 3s the gap now.

    If Hamilton pulls this off it will be incredible.
