Bring! It! On!
If anyone can go to the end on the tyres it Hamilton.
Yep if he wins, and still think he will, I think I'd be more satisfied now that Hamilton earned it today with that twist of luck for RB
The app is telling me that Hamilton is faster in sector 2 consistently
I've no preference for who wins.
But if Hamilton had a half functioning teammate, like Max has, it might have helped.
Max isn’t closing the gap anywhere fast enough.
They'll be fúcked, unless Hamilton does an insane job.
Max needs 1 sec a lap to catch him, not going to happen I think
your right sorry . thats even worse
Glad it's worked out like this after the start.
It would've been a procession otherwise.
Max not eating enough into Hams lead. Hams tyres will need to fall apart before Max gets past.
Bottas is fairly shite though. :P
Lewis is driving it on now - be interesting to see what his tyres are like for the last 5 laps
Hard tyres = fruit gums.
Soft tyres = wine gums.
Max can’t catch Lewis..
Lewis should be 2-3 seconds ahead at the end!
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.
I just can't see Verstappen catching Hamilton, think he'll fall a bit short
Not closing the gap fast enough.
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.
Hards
He’s on hard tyres, don’t think they had any softs left, it’s a rubbish tyre anyway
Hards just allows him to pretty much push as hard as he wants. Mediums could drop off earlier and softs definitely would
This is gonna come down to the last couple of laps isn't it.
He's on hards.
Which goes against his break down with video analysis of cornering, penalties and advantages in previous races during the build up.
I reckon Hamilton has too big a gap, hard to see Max reeling him in unless his tires really fall off a cliff
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.
hards i thought?
Yes unless Perez breaks down in the entrance of the pitlane...
why is max on mediums. surely softs would be better. they say they last 20 laps but there is 18 left
I think Lewis is worried about that going on the radio messages.
