Ah here we go Vettel in for the undercut
not sure ham is struggling, he falls back, then closes it straight back u again a bit latter. rinse and repeat.
this is probably the winning pitstop as long as he doesnt get stuck in traffic.
yep ham closes straight onto the back of bottas, hes just cruising, hes screwed though, merc wont let him pit early.

Well Max was doing well, brake failure, 
If Merc are on a two stop as well then that pit early along with Vettel would leapfrog Verstappen to 2nd I would have thought.
However brake failure this early in... is dodgy as hell. He was never going to finish this race with that issue. Merc way too slow, they've blown it I think.

Want to see a replay, has Stroll done something idiotic again, or just very unlucky.

Oh well, that probably saves it for Merc... possibly anyway. Though very slow stop will hurt Hamilton badly.
Vettel ahead, at least they'll be much closer. If they pitted normally then Vettel would have been 6-7 seconds ahead, at least.
