I don’t know why Leclerc wants to try and catch Lando and potentially become public enemy number one in the UK lol

Norris has the pace, fear not

Come on Norris!

And hopes Lando doesn't just overtake him.

Max has nothing to lose, Norris on the other hand.

 

[sprite1275]

Yeah, this is the caveat to Max's race. It's not like Lewis vs. Nico in 2016 where there was a third party in play, Lewis just needed to back Nico up.

If Max loses that spot to Piastri, it doesn't matter how much he backs Lando up.

If I were verstapen I'd give it a go.

 

[Journey]

Max sounded desperate there for Leclerc to help him.

Would he?

Forget about UK. Toxic fans in sports can be found anywhere. Kimi received death threats etc a week ago because GP claimed he let Lando through.

Well indeed. Why risk any of that nonsense for p3/p4. Just don’t get involved.

10 laps to cruise to the end

 

[antijoke]

Yeah 10 laps to go, Charles dropping off, that’s it, boring

 

[Dr Jack]

Was hoping Yuki could finish on a high but normal service.

Hamilton at least seems to be having fun.

 

[el_dazza]

Nico Rosberg has popped into the commentary box.. *mute*

Well indeed. Why risk any of that nonsense for p3/p4. Just don’t get involved.

Why would he care about social media fans in the UK!? He’s not a little girls pop star.

 

[Scam]

Would he?
Would he care?

Seemed Kimi and Mercedes cared enough about the death threats when they didn’t even do anything wrong.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

You are talking about off track stuff. No real driver will care about this on track.

 

[SpartaP]

lol Crofty kicking Nico out Best bit commentating I’ve heard from him in a long time

 

[UTmaniac]

If there was a well timed SC, Leclerc gets a free pit stop...

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

A safety car now wouldn’t be good. Race is done.

A nice boring end to the race that's what we want now.
