[Yaayuh!]

Looks like RedBull have stuffed up Perez with that pit.

Maybe not…

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton radio - Are we too late to stop.

Pit - So we'll drop to p6, but maybe battling back to P5

So, that's a yes then?

 

[Flibster]

Vettel radio - How did we get the strategy so wrong.

Oooooof.

 

[utajoker]

Talking up perez v leclerc
Perez just going to drs simple pass

 

[Flibster]

Oh how I hope that Vettel does donuts until that car expires and dumps all it's guts on the track.

 

[el_dazza]

This is going to be mighty close at the end between Perez and Leclerc!

 

[andy_mk3]

Everything crossed for Leclerc to hold onto second

Vettel radio - How did we get the strategy so wrong.

Oooooof.

I feel like so many of the teams make comical strategy calls these days. Far worse than it used to be.
It's easy for armchair experts to say different calls, but the sad thing is, the armchair strategy is usually better.

Race control - Hamilton time 1:30.455 deleted - Track limits at turn 1 lap 51

Race control - Black and white flag for Hamilton - Track limits

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I don't get Hamilton complaining about strategy. If you wanted the team to do something different, you should have told them to.
How is it that Russell is far more confident about strategy calls, and telling the team what he wants them to do? This isn't the first time we've seen this.

Edit: Guess it doesn't matter anyway.

I had Merc to get double points finish. Said Lewis would magically have an engine problem and what do you know..

 

[iamtheoneneo]

God that car is such trash

 

[Psycho Ned]

Ham will be glad to never see this car again!

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton radio - I've lost shifts. Shifts aren't working properly.

Pit - Copy. We may have a hydraylic problem. May go passive. Just be cautious

And now stuck in gear....

 

[Entai]

Why doesn't max slow down and back LeClerc into Perez?

 

[Flibster]

Well that sucks. No destructive donuts for Alonso or Hamilton now.

 

[Junglist]

Gutted Lewis and Alonso are out of the race. I wanted them to give Seb his donuts

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Fist shake from Perez. That traffic might just have saved Leclerc's day.
