A SC before Verstappen pits would gift him this right?

Yes

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

Well I tried for 15 minutes, but F1 really is unwatchable at the moment.

Trying to be entertained by watching these ridiculous cars cruise past each other on DRS is utterly mind-numbing. It's not motor racing.

Had to laugh at croftys description of Max’s fantastic move as he drifted past everyone. May as well go and watch cars on the M25.

Not if it comes right now. He'd have to nurse the mediums to the end.

EDIT: actually not too many laps left and by the time SC comes in it would be fine.

 

[Scam]

Yes

So he can just wait and wait and wait and if he has to pit without a SC then he’ll have far fresher tyres anyway. Yeah, I think he’s got this.

Mediums would make it to the end easily.

Perez has already gifted him this race.

Verstappen will be 2 seconds behind with brand new mediums without a SC.

Hamilton is likely now behind Hulkenberg again.

edit: Pitted in time, and Hulkenberg failed to get past Tsunoda.

I thought I would enjoy seeing Mercedes not win week in, week out. This is actually hideously poor racing. The track is dog poo as well. We have Spain and Monaco coming up which doesn't exactly scream excitement either.

 

[turbot1984]

This ain't gettin a 10 from me ... Max changin his tyres is no GP

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Track would be fine for other types of racing, touring cars could put on a show. The problem is and always will be F1 cars, even great tracks like Spa and Suzuka produce forgettable races on a regular basis.

Indeed.

Russell looking good, driver of the day?

We need some nice wide circuits that have good overtaking opportunities like Malaysia and China back on the calendar.

And these were cars that were designed to follow better! I kind of want to see DRS taken away to see what would happen….I don’t feel like the real world results would match the research.

Perez pit radio - Max doing a lot of lift and coast

 

[ci_newman]

Verstappen is going to have a pit stop in hand in a few more laps

 

[hartgeh3]

switcharoo........ffs

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Bless the commentators trying to pretend the finishing result isn't already determined

 

[Mr Jack]

There's being faster than your teammate and then there's being half a second faster on rubber 20 laps older.

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen pit radio - Max we have a bit of an upshift test to try and make them smoother for you. If you're interested it's display 3 position 3. Display 3 position 3.

Verstappen - It's ok for now.

Pit - Ok. Understood.

Here we go, Sky introducing the old running old of fuel cobblers. They will be talking about rain soon.
