    The mercs might have to three stop :pac:

    Looking at Hamilton’s right front you won’t be far off.

    Brings Hulk and Stroll into play.

    The Mercs are chewing those tyres up at some rate. I think Max has pulled a master stroke, this could be the race win

    Hamiltons suggestion that Max is cheating is disappointing

    Lewis immediately thinks redbull are cheating because they're winning.
    Yeah, I wonder why people don't like the man

    Would have been better to put max on hard tyres and let him run to the finish?

    Vettel complaining about the strategy he is on now, if he didn't spin it on lap one he might have been in a great position!

    He started on the hards. He has to run two different compounds.

    Vettel blaming the team for the strategy.
    Yeah I bet they didn't take into account you not being able to go around a corner without spinning

    Not yet but I expect that if they leave Hamilton out his tires will suddenly fall off a cliff. Then hopefully Max will pass him. This would be great for F1.

    Don't see why Hamilton is risking his tyre blowing. Surely pit and garentee 3rd place in the shorter championship.

    Its possible, Max isn't anyway faster than Lewis right now.
    The Redbull strategy team could be getting the blame again.


    I really hope I'm wrong.

    No way they can do a 1 stop.

    Id say they are waiting to get in the window for sticking on a set of mediums.

    Max needs to get up the rear of Ham to put pressure on a make him cook the tyres.

    If Lewis doesn't pit by lap 45 he's going to the end.

    He managed well during the first stink when he was putting pressure on the Mercs. The Red Bull is easy on them hard rubbers.

    I'd sat LeClerc will try go to the end.

    Hamilton could be in trouble with a time penalty, which means LeClerc might stop.

    Surprised the ‘F1 is boring’ brigade are cheering as the race conclusion is now confirmed to be boring.
