Now is not the time to show the drone footage!

Mediums might be slower now. Crossed over.

edit: Just saw Hamilton track limits. So nope.

Verstappen radio - Beautiful ********* Beautiful.

That sort of radio really winds me up. Glad his engineer actually mentioned “we’re all in this together “

As soon as Verstappen get's DRS from Hamilton, it's done.

The RBs barely need it though, they’re always so fast on the straights.

Lewis saving grace here is the laps left. The mediums might just die off before the end...

 

[muon]

Latifi Shumacher looks very familiar. 5 seconds penalty.

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

Max is turning that wheel like it's made of eggshell

 

[Flibster]

Tsunoda having a stop on the radio. No idea what he said, but it was shouted and bleeped.

 

[Junglist]

Under 2s.

Max got this win in the bag

 

[Psycho Ned]

What happened to Leclerc? Ate its tyres? He was right on Max's tail for a number of laps.

 

[mid_gen]

Ugh yawn. Can we get on and ditch DRS.

 

[Junglist]

He's checked out. Sadly I think he isn't cut from the same cloth as Lewis and Max

 

[muon]

Under 2s.

Yeh its done. Getting a tow down straights.

 

[UTmaniac]

Down to the wire? This is an easy Max overtake.

 

[Flibster]

Driver of the day time? Alonso, Vettel, Leclerc, Zhou, Tsunoda, Magnussen?

 

[Junglist]

Down to the wire? This is an easy Max overtake.

They have to hype it up

Verstappen time 1:40.271 deleted - Track limits at turn 9 lap 48

Ricciardo doing well in last place.

I was thinking that but a few cars probably need to stop unless they are going to try and push it to the end.

Looks like they are going to push it to the end. So yeah that was a bad strategy making the 2nd stop early

EDIT - sorry 2nd stop late not early.

 

[Scam]

Ugh yawn. Can we get on and ditch DRS.

Indeed. It’s so obvious. We’d get more wheel to wheel racing, more overtakes in a corner etc. With DRS it’s like racing for dummies.

I’m a pessimistic but Max will get him as soon as he gets DRS. Then there will only be 2-4 laps left - not enough for the tyres to deg out and give Hamilton a chance back.

As soon as Verstappen get's DRS from Hamilton, it's done.

The Redbull is so fast down the straight compared to the Merc that he’s not going to need to use it.

 

[Flibster]

Sub 1 second.
