Awful race this, awful track.

Current Top 3 are the three best drivers on the grid imo. Leclerc superb here, Bottas may get past eventually but he has an 8 second gap to 5th.

Not the tracks fault, it provides good racing in other series !

Don't fancy Hamilton's chances of an undercut given how much slower the Merc pit crew usually is

Red Bull their own worst enemy...

 

[longers]

They better not leave Hamilton out, track position is everything

 

[evilwebby]

Hmmm. Argg. Hamilton may be giving up his best chance here

 

[Tubey]

What are Mercedes doing? Got to bring him and take advantage of that surely???

Dreadful call from Merc and all on Hamilton, it was his call.

Hamilton really needs to go much longer now, try to engineer a big tyre offset at the end

 

[longers]

They have done this before and to be fair its worked out well for them previously but just not sold on this track being the one to do it... then again Verstappen was about to be overtaken towards the end of that last stint.

 

[evilwebby]

That's not a good call by Mercedes

Tyre offset nowhere near large enough

 

[Tubey]

Bottas' engineer asking politely if he can do his job for a change and actually race.

 

[longers]

Choosing to have 4 extra laps worth of tyre instead of the lead of the race is a weird one but they do tend to have better tyre deg than Red Bull

 

[evilwebby]

Tyres will be hanging on by the end of the race for Max.. the Merc does seem a bit kinder on its tyres

lol lol lol

Everyone in F1 knows the score with him.

Pace difference between them is so large that hopefully he won't completely wash out in dirty air in sector 3, although I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen.
