Poor George deserved points today.

Yes, he punches well above his weight and the bad luck strikes again.

Hamilton pushing hard now. It’s starting to look a bit more like a 2 stop strategy.

Short track with traffic everywhere, it'd be harder to catch back up here then it was in Spain or France

Watching his helmet camera channel (with radio Comms). He was asking about his fuel levels to Bono

Was it this track that was harsh on suspension/tyres one year? They seem to be running the bumpy kerbs very heavily.

True but Mercedes may thin its worth a roll of the dice.

flazio · 27-06-2021 02:55PM

LeClerc lucky not to get a puncture

What's the average time lost for a pit stop round here does anyone know? If Hamilton was to pit, he has about 24 seconds gap to Perez

Rossi IRL · 27-06-2021 02:55PM

Is it getting a bit cloudy in places

Charlie-Bravo · 27-06-2021 02:58PM

Radar shows it building up to the west but won't hit the track for an hour.

Zookey123 · 27-06-2021 03:01PM

Praying for rain. Would defo add a bit more spice.

Itssoeasy · 27-06-2021 03:07PM

Perez pits.

ctrl-alt-delete · 27-06-2021 03:09PM

Perez nicks the fastest lap, can he catch Bottas?

flazio · 27-06-2021 03:10PM

Not exactly a classic this one is it?

Itssoeasy · 27-06-2021 03:10PM

So the mercs strategy is to keep going and hope max makes a mistake.

TheDoctor · 27-06-2021 03:12PM

Think next week the tyres are all one step softer.

Probably needed.

Not much else they can do, Bottas needs to get the finger out Perez is catching him at 2 seconds a lap nearly.

Cool_CM · 27-06-2021 03:12PM

Perez is flying

It most certainly is not.

True but it’s a very un Mercedes position to be in.

Rossi IRL · 27-06-2021 03:16PM

Reckon it's gonna be like this for a while.

Red Bull is just a much better car this season. Verstappen also not making many mistakes. As a team also not making mnay mistakes.

jammiedodgers · 27-06-2021 03:18PM

As usual it will probably start raining half an hour after the race is finished.

Lawlesz · 27-06-2021 03:18PM

You know it's a dull race when they're talking about the possibility of rain that even the teams know isn't coming

Itssoeasy · 27-06-2021 03:23PM

So kimi has the record using number 7 on a car. A sure sign this race is not a classic.

PsychoPete · 27-06-2021 03:26PM

Crofty really shouldn't be using the word dramatic to describe this race

skipper_G · 27-06-2021 03:27PM

Feels more like an afternoon wasted than an afternoon invested

27-06-2021 03:28PM

An undeserved 3rd for Bottas.

Burkie1203 · 27-06-2021 03:28PM

Red Bull went a few laps too.late on the 2nd stop with Perez

Jordan 199 · 27-06-2021 03:29PM

I could have painted the front wall and watched it dry.

PsychoPete · 27-06-2021 03:29PM

Very comfortable race for Verstappen

Itssoeasy · 27-06-2021 03:30PM

Not the most entertaining race but they can’t all be exciting over a season.
