How is Perez gonna help Max?

Ignore blue flags?

Hamilton pulling away again. Hopefully he can pull enough of a gap to cover any potential undercut later in the race.

How can there be an undercut when there's no more stops?

RB will pit again, they’ve nothing to lose and Mercedes will have to cover it.

 

[Jono8]

As Brundle mentioned. These two are just on a different level to the rest of the pack.

So many races where they just leave everyone else for dead.

Perez really proved his worth there. Amazing racing.
That merc though is fast...I guess they will sacrifice Perez in a stop to put him ahead of Lewis for one last fight.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton a Pit stop ahead of Bottas in P3 now.

They're not planning on pitting are they? Or would that be the last roll of the dice by RB?

Puts it in the wall.

They both stopped early. Hamilton will want to cover Verstappen if he stops again.

Toto having a moan as well, they're all at it.

 

[el_dazza]

Raikkonen is out

 

[PikeyPriest]

Yup, it’s inevitable and they have to cover it.

Yep. If it stays like this can see MV going soft a or mediums to pressure. Then if there is a safety car even if they don’t gain track position they will have potential tyres advantage.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

There was certainly a lot of weaving by the RB.

 

[Kenai]

I'm absolutely not a RBR fan but what they've done is not 'BS' or 'scummy' - it's a team racing tactic and it's part of the sport.

It's not Red Bull's problem that Bottas can't or won't do the same for Lewis when the opportunity is there.

If Lewis had a Perez in his team, I think he'd have come into this race slightly ahead on points.

 

[Jono8]

Looked like he kept 2 wheels on track

Yeh you are right , just seen the replay.

Still a bit naughty

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hopefully no SC.

 

[Freakbro]

Looked like he kept 2 wheels on track

And the replay showed he did

 

[Flibster]

Raikkonen radio - Something broke.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Red flag, barrier repair

 

[Flibster]

Russell radio - Lost drive

It's not what the FIA want to encourage. It's dangerous. It's why cars that are too slow are not allowed to race.

Raikkonen radio - Something broke.

The drink system?
