Poll: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2020, Yas Island - Race 17/17

[Flibster]

Bottas pit radio - And now show us your pushing level. Let's start to close that gap.

There goes Perez

 

[el_dazza]

Ah Sergio

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Surprised no full safety car.

 

[Kenai]

McLaren will be liking the look of one of the RPs out

 

[Flibster]

Just died on him.

Uh oh... Mercedes stacking...

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Well that’s killed the race.

 

[Junglist]

No Checo

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Uh oh... Mercedes stacking...

They can do it when Hamilton is there to roast them

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton pit radio - Box box.

Hamilton - It's going to be a long way on that tyre man.

Pit - Copy lewis. But we'll still go for it.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton basically saying, may as well have stayed out.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton pit radio - Box box.

Hamilton - It's going to be a long way on that tyre man.

Pit - Copy lewis. But we'll still go for it.

Safety car has probably played into the hands of that strategy.

 

[chrismscotland]

Safety car now; looked like they were struggling to move that Car

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Well that’s killed the race.

Hopefully they run out before the end. A bit of last few lap chaos would be interesting

 

[Flibster]

Sainz pit radio - Virtual safety car. Virtual safety car. Recharge on. Delta positive. Virtual safety car driving. How is the tyre?

Sainz - Nah, graining both front left and front right

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hopefully they run out before the end. A bit of last few lap chaos would be interesting

Fingers crossed.

Shame bottas is in second, Hamilton with DAS on restart would have a good shot at max. Bottas is terrible at restarts.

 

[Kenai]

Vettel could be an interesting shout towards the end if he goes to lap 40 odd and throws on softs

 

[Mr Jack]

If there's another safety car this could play into the Ferraris' hands.

 

[Flibster]

1:40.958 for Verstappen

 

[mattx2]

Since merc have two cars here they should stick one on softs/meds if they get a free pitstop window. At least might get them the fastest lap if nothing else

 

[Flibster]

Sainz under investigation - driving unnecessarily slowly in the pit lane.

Latifi radio - I don't know why. There's like no bite on the brakes.

Pit - All looks good on our side. All looks good.

Panto season?

Oh no it isn't!

Leclerc lap time deleted - track limits turn 21
