Congrats max

 

[Shadowness]

Lewis will have no tyres to defend at the end.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton has speed currently at least. Will they go off a cliff though.

 

[Kenai]

Who cares is RB would do the opposite. It was optimal strategy.

But likely involved having to try and get past a desperately defending Max.

Instead they have to defend against a desperately attacking Max...

 

[.Lethal]

Just me that thinks Lewis will hold on then

You ain't the only one mate, Lewis fans panicking but he's shown numerous times how good he can hold on.

 

[Irish_Tom]

15 seconds, 17 laps…

 

[omnomnom]

It is but a 23 lap life advantage in the tyres will make that relatively easy

Surely Verstappens tyres will also degrade as he pushes more so they arent going to stay fresh for long.

Makes it more interesting i guess lol.

This is French GP all over again

That's because they're all negative naysayers. Absolutely sure Lewis is holding on here.

What would finishing this way do for the Constructors championship?

That’s my worry!

Mercedes need 17 points. 2nd or better for either car does it.

It’s not dull at least! Max not lapping crazily quickly, but that could change at the end.

He won't. Max will take him.in the last few laps.

 

[UTmaniac]

Imagine if Lewis' worn tyres give up on those aggressive kerbs. This looks touch and go, ~43 laps on scrubbed hards for Lewis with a charging Max on fresh hards for ~20 laps.

 

[Kenai]

What would finishing this way do for the Constructors championship?

Mercedes win I think, Red Bull came in 28 points behind.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton actually has pace currently. Just opened a gap in a sector.

 

[unKle]

It's the way this season has gone. Down to the last race, down to the last lap!

 

[MagicBoy]

What would finishing this way do for the Constructors championship?

Merc 28 points ahead.

There's a 28 point lead, it isn't really in contention.
