Hammertime!

Stumble Bum · 13 Oct 2019 at 07:20

boooo they pitted him, boring.

UTmaniac · 13 Oct 2019 at 07:21

Boo, Lewis plays it safe for 3rd.

Flibster · 13 Oct 2019 at 07:26

Doesn't look that safe... Closed Vettel down very rapidly.

CaptainRAVE · 13 Oct 2019 at 07:27

Stupid time to switch to the pits.

Mr Jack · 13 Oct 2019 at 07:35

Where are they pulling these tyre condition numbers from?

spook2575 · 13 Oct 2019 at 07:36

Perez out

CaptainRAVE · 13 Oct 2019 at 07:36

Mercedes need a faster engine. Hamilton should have stayed out. Stupid strategy.

Mercedes 2019 World Constructors Champions

Crazy achievement. 6 in a row. They need a better engine next year though.

Assisted by Ferrari

Flibster · 13 Oct 2019 at 07:40

They're also got the Drivers championship. Just don't know which driver yet.

6 doubles... Also that'll be what most of the team will be having later on.

UTmaniac · 13 Oct 2019 at 07:43

Mercedes are almost certainly working on next year's car, but Ferrari have next year's championships to lose, I don't think another car have overtaken them on the track under normal circumstances since the summer break... They have such a top speed advantage.

Most likely the same place that the fia pull there rules from

Tyre condition graphic was wrong anyway.

MattU · 13 Oct 2019 at 07:45

They made Hamilton pit just to be fair on strategy to Bottas? The race was his before they made him stop.

Yup, if they have track position they win. It’ll be very close and Mercedes are also going to be thinking of 2021, meanwhile Ferrari have a beast of an engine.

Based on his pace it didn’t look like he needed to stop?

MattU · 13 Oct 2019 at 07:48

Even the “probably made up” tyre graphic showed all his tyres at 70% as he entered the pit lane.

Flibster · 13 Oct 2019 at 08:13

Right.

Time for a Chemex of coffee, pancakes and bacon...

Shoeyuk · 13 Oct 2019 at 08:23

What you reckon Leclerc gets a 5 second penalty post race as it won’t affect his 6th place?
