Hamilton has backed off? Interesting.

Ham lost nearly 0.8 in sector 2. Dropping back?

Max is purely dangerous.

Verstappen should have been penalised for both those moves on Kimi. Forced him off track, then swerving to block an overtake. Not on.

And hugely arrogant and self righteous about it too. Have gone off the guy this weekend.

Sorry, where is making a move late dangerous? Not being prepared for the guy ahead to defend is dangerous. Until Kimi is alongside he has precisely no right to that track or to not have to slow.
Again I'll say, the one move rule is for this. You fake right a little earlier, Max moves right, then Kimi moves left... done. no danger, this is how racing has happened for so long it's embarrassing. But now if Kimi moves right and Max moves right after... it's wrong? Kimi has lost the art of overtaking/driving. For years someone in Kimi's position would fake right and go left, or fake left and go right. You force the guy ahead to make the move then go the other way. That is racing, making the first move too late, too close and with no other option but to slow down when the guy blocks you is 100% down to Kimi.
If Max moved a second time that is entirely different, moving late is normal.

Hulkenberg struggling. Brakes looking very hot too.

Hamilton does this a lot, you back off a little and harvest more for 1-2 laps then you have a boost lap and boom. he did that last year to Ricciardo in Hungry, spent say 5 laps stuck, then he did 2-3 laps half a second slower then he did two epic laps and got Ricciardo.

Hamilton on the podium. Lol.

Hulk's soft tyres are ~3 laps older than the ones fitted to Lewis and Alonso during the red flag.

So much for a 55 grid penelty

Long race, but second looks possible for Hamilton. Rosberg will literally cry on the podium.
Caporegime
Rosberg is much faster than Hamilton despite supposedly slower tyres.
More spare parts for Hamilton as well compared to Rosberg.

I'd like Lewis to pit now, those softs are ~10 laps old. But can the mediums comfortably do ~24 laps?

It's really silly now, every single race... he's going onto the slower tire, then 10 laps later, oh it turns out the tire that lasts better is faster over a stint.... shocking.
In like 9/10 races, the harder tire is generally quicker overall in terms of keeping the the times over a stint. Supersoft faster than ultras over a stint, soft faster than supersoft, medium faster than soft... then hard just sucks completely
