Max not eating enough into Hams lead. Hams tyres will need to fall apart before Max gets past.

Glad it's worked out like this after the start.
It would've been a procession otherwise.

Max needs 1 sec a lap to catch him, not going to happen I think

Max isn’t closing the gap anywhere fast enough.

I've no preference for who wins.
But if Hamilton had a half functioning teammate, like Max has, it might have helped.

The app is telling me that Hamilton is faster in sector 2 consistently

This too shall pass.

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

One thing Lewis can so better than anyone is tyre management. Unless something drastic happens he has this race.

Weakley after Max crashed in Baku "Michael red flag, we had no warning of that tyre blow up, let everyone change tyres"

Toto "Michael don't use the safety car to bunch the field up"

Good to see Christian Horner being sporting and being honest about the situation, unlike Toto.

I wonder could Hams the delaminate before the end. If he's pushing as hard as he is, his tyres would be 44 laps old at the end, same number as Hamilton. Could be a coincidence 😂

i wouldn’t say it’s throwing in the towel but it’s stating the obvious.
