Same. Although I’m spending most of the time browsing the net…

Same.

Mercedes should just park both cars and set off for Barcelona

I can see Antonelli and Mercedes now playing the back everything up for Russell game..

 

[Flaevius]

A three second shot of Alexandra Saint-Mleux is the most exciting thing today.

Hamilton could end up ahead of Verstappen if he slows them down too much.

 

[.:MBK:.]

Max trying that "old boy who has never had an accident" driving style

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Will be very impressed if they get 8 minutes out of this

Highlights person going to be earning their money.

Hamilton could end up ahead of Verstappen if he slows them down too much.

I don't think he's doing it deliberately. His pace is pretty good for old tyres.

Hamilton is just too slow. Should have been challenging for 4th, but he's miles away.

Is Max taking the 30 seconds pen for not stopping just to be a wind up merchant??? Would be fun

Amusing Google Maps caption on the Fairmont Hairpin:

30 sec pen if you don't stop, should be dsq. Wonder what they'll try next year, no one will be enjoying this.

Max has got ~29secs to lose over 18 laps, plus pit, to stay ahead of Lewis.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

IIRC Danny Ricc drove very slow to win here.

With a significantly broken car too. Or Hamilton with no tyres left.

There's only a 30s penalty if the race is suspended before the full length, otherwise it's a DSQ.

 

[booyaka]

Both Mercs still to stop

Not what they just said on commentary - just repeated it now

Is it? They’ve just said here it doesn’t matter he’ll finish fourth he should be looking to get a red flag so he can pit.

He’s going to finish 4th regardless.

Sainz driver of the day. Secured williams a double points finish

 

[hartgeh3]

Red flag on last lap and Max win lol

 

[OldKitMan]

Max to stay out then, if there a red flag he wins, if not 4th most likely with or without a stop. Full SC is the only thing that doesn't work for him.

Voting Russell DOTD for the lolz.
