Thank god Brundle is back on the mic and not Di Resta

The difference between Hamilton and Verstappen is that Hamilton simply doesn't make that mistake.

Well.. this will be interesting

So much is going to depend on their pit stops

Perez not being able to keep pace is good news for Merc on strategy front

….lines on the outfield of this track make me feel sea sick.

Well, apart from last week. However, in the mainstay I agree - his consistency is the point that makes him such an amazing driver if not the best of all time.

Just look at his management of tyres and how he can keep a car going straight and at speed without making a mistake, whereas others end up in the wall.

Yet another f up by Merc!!! Should have bought Ham in 1 lap after Bottas

dumb

 

[evilwebby]

Hamilton will be fuming

Max's race to lose now

They should use the GT layout with no chicane on the back straight, would be longest straight in F1 i think, although overtaking might be OP with no chicane

Merc messed up again by not pitting first for the 2nd stop. They require a safety car now on a track that has 5 million miles of run off area.

A reverse Hungarian/Spanish coming up then with the one stopping mercs.

Its still a risky move from Red Bull given the tyre deg and the fact Max is on medium compound. Expect him to get the job done but wouldn't be surprised if his progress stalls.

edit: nope, this is going to be comfortable for Max

The seismic shift in terms of Mercedes strategic reliability is a peculiar one as they've often been so solid. Now, they always look a step behind.

The only way it doesn't work is if Bottas runs into him.
