De Vries again

 

[Stumble Bum]

Why is Perez getting so close to Max when there's team orders?

 

[chrismscotland]

Ach there's probably not "team orders" as such but surely no-one believes Red Bull really want anyone other than Max to win?

 

[uscool]

Nice this favours Perez

That's quite the different claim then no?

 

[Flibster]

Not a bad double stop for Ferrari there. Touch slow for Sainz, but still good.

 

[el_dazza]

Cue the complaining from Max in 3,2..

 

[Stumble Bum]

Red Bull favouring Perez yet again.

 

[chrismscotland]

Odds must be increasing on Dy Vries being replaced mid-season, he's done absolutely nothing so far this season.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Much better for the race, Verstappen will get Leclerc pretty quick but Perez will be a lot tougher.

Edit: Is De Vries blind? Just drove in to the wall.

Red Bull favouring Perez yet again.

When was the last time ?

 

[chrismscotland]

That looked pretty dangerous between Russell and Stroll on the pit entry, especially here where its relatively narrow entry

 

[Journey]

Whoop, go Perez.

 

[Kenai]

Does George putting his nose in front in the pit lane not still count as overtaking?

 

[englishpremier]

At long tracks like this, they ought to have multiple places the SC can peel off and restart the race. Often we have the SC doing an extra lap or watcher that really isn't needed.

I'd have thought so but I can't remember exactly what the rules are, I think they can "race" to the pit limiter line

... but they shouldn't be racing behind the safety car in the first place?

 

[chrismscotland]

Go Alonso

Question is: Lawson or Riccardo?

This is true, sorry totally forgot the safety car!
