6 laps on soft tyres for Russell

 

[jonneymendoza]

Russell on the straights using his wrists to control the wheel lmao

 

[andy_mk3]

Be one hell of a push for George to get on the podium. Fair play if he does.

Race control - Norris time 1:25.384 deleted - track limits turn 4 lap 50

 

[chrismscotland]

Yeah I think 15 seconds is probably just too big a gap

 

[Flibster]

Gasly's going to have to give that back. Wasn't even subtle.

 

[andy_mk3]

Piastri 4s behind Max at this point in the race is amazing.
