Ah ha see there you go. A change of tune by Williams. Let's protect the place.

hammi got no grip.....

Finners · 20 Jul 2014 at 14:32

Bottas told he can push, agree with the above. Williams should have covered Hamilton off.

Vertigo · 20 Jul 2014 at 14:32

Don't think Lewis is gonna make it.

3 laps to go and it's going to start to rain? Fantastic.

Ham's front left looks absolutely awful

Yip, I'm not sure if he'll be able to do it

FrankJH · 20 Jul 2014 at 14:34

LH was said to have 1.5s advantage per lap (r5L)

hammis tires have gone...

Given how's he's driven in this race I wouldn't put it past Hamilton to try a brave move and bin it on the last lap.

knip · 20 Jul 2014 at 14:35

He's not gonna do it sadly

That would be funny - just cant see it happening

novaenough · 20 Jul 2014 at 14:36

He can't afford to not finish though but really needs the points for 2nd.....

Psycho Ned · 20 Jul 2014 at 14:36

Took a gamble on that safety car coming out and is paying for it now sadly.

Still third not a terrible result.

Flibster · 20 Jul 2014 at 14:37

Given that he started 20th, I think 3rd will do very nicely.

Hamilton is certainly my driver of the day. Along with Ricciardo as well I think, good fight back from him too.

Hamilton definitely needs a chunk of luck now for the rest of the season.

Vertigo · 20 Jul 2014 at 14:37

So, will Rosberg ever beat Lewis in a straight fight this year?

So Prost in '93?? 9 wins in one season and he "made a meal out of it"??

I grant you his only competition was Damon in the identical car. Senna's was hopeless - should never have got anywhere near challenging!

The clue was first world championship, I wasn't aware 93 was prosts first title

Still a stonking drive from 20th to 3rd

Guerrilla · 20 Jul 2014 at 14:38

Good race that!

Agree. Well done Lewis.

hmm given the Merc performance advantage (even over Williams) and Massa retiring, 3rd is the worst he should have done too
