    AWS Graphic saying Max's left tyres are shot, they certainly don't look it.

    The gap going up coupled with Lewis saying his tyres are dropping off - does that mean we can believe him?

    Watching without sound here, Hamilton push his tires too hard?

    I think if Hamilton could, he would be whinging about his tyres at the end of the pit lane after just putting on fresh tyres.

    I guess Hamilton's best chance might be a safety car or a tyre failure on Max?

    Perez needs fresh tyres to take the fastest lap off Hamilton. Forget this battle for 9th.

    Bottas should go for the fastest lap.

    This will take it from Hamilton. I guess that is preferable than risking Max taking it.

    Bottas going in, big pause, and been told not to go for fastest lap and now been told to abort the attempt.

    Gotta laugh, totally pathetic from Mercedes and Bottas is even more submissive than I thought.

    Mercedes went down yet again in my estimation today after already sunk over the past few weeks.

    Honestly how any neutral can be happy with their antics with Bottas this afternoon is beyond me. Good luck to George Russell next year, he's going to need it with a team that is going to actively work against him.

    Also Bottas himself shouldn't be in the sport next year. It's his submissive compliance in the past and today that means he's probably the biggest weakling to take the grid in history.

    Damn he got the fastest lap anyway.

    The "Valtteri, it's James, abort the fastest lap" stuff is a farce. Bottas better off away from Mercedes.

    They've brought the sport into disrepute today in my book.

    We used to moan about Ferrari and team orders, but telling a driver to drive deliberately slow on purpose to stop him from winning a point in a fair race is wrong and it's a dark day for this sport.

    Could be worse, could be the chief F1 writer for the BBC who makes Croft look neutral.

    Red Bull have played just as many Fastest Lap tricks this year so its all fair game.

    Merc were pretty embarrassing across the board today. Telling bottas to abort was one thing, but telling him they pitted for vibrations was a flat out lie.
