Bring! It! On!
This will be tense
Ah just glad the race isn't completely over now, it was starting to look that way
If they get an actual safety car, Lewis could pit?
Would love it if Hamilton's tyres fall off the cliff before the end
Come on max, if he wins now it's gonna go down as one of the great wins
I remember I used to like Toto Wolff.
I can't believe Hamilton didn't pit
Max is catching him!! Come on!
That VSC was very bad for Mercedes, I can see Max winning this, even if there is another safety car.
Max is going to eat into that lead. With 5 laps to go, Hamilton's tyres won't be too good at all.
And if he didn't know does that mean he didn't reduce his speed?
I think Lewis is worried about that going on the radio messages.
why is max on mediums. surely softs would be better. they say they last 20 laps but there is 18 left
Yes unless Perez breaks down in the entrance of the pitlane...
hards i thought?
I’ve no idea but I doubt that the team wouldn’t have told him so they wouldn’t get caught out for speeding under a VSC. Mercedes aren’t rookies.
I reckon Hamilton has too big a gap, hard to see Max reeling him in unless his tires really fall off a cliff
Which goes against his break down with video analysis of cornering, penalties and advantages in previous races during the build up.
He's on hards.
This is gonna come down to the last couple of laps isn't it.
Hards just allows him to pretty much push as hard as he wants. Mediums could drop off earlier and softs definitely would
He’s on hard tyres, don’t think they had any softs left, it’s a rubbish tyre anyway
Hards
Martin brundle made a good point, as to why did Mercedes ask Lewis about tyre choices under a safety car and then not do anything when a VSC happened.
Not closing the gap fast enough.
I just can't see Verstappen catching Hamilton, think he'll fall a bit short
No it won't.
He got fúcked a bit at the start, and now the motor racing gods have basically leveled it up, if not favoured him slightly.
I would say Max should win from here.
If Hamilton holds him off, depending how it unfolds, that would be one of the great wins.
Max can’t catch Lewis..
Lewis should be 2-3 seconds ahead at the end!
Hard tyres = fruit gums.
Soft tyres = wine gums.
Lewis is driving it on now - be interesting to see what his tyres are like for the last 5 laps
