He has so much time behind. Very little risk.

Lighter car, track rubbering in.... May be possible.

And leclerc and perez

 

[Flibster]

Stroll pit radio - Lance, soft or medium?

Stroll - Uuuh Medium.

 

[Kenai]

If Gasly can manage 20 laps on softs with full fuel, this lot should be fine for 15 ish laps with less fuel in

 

[jonneymendoza]

Pretty poor over 5 years. Hamilton had 50 wins over the same period.

I'd say the mismatch is roughly as bad as Max and Sergio.

Thing is, botas always finished 2nd. Can't say the same about perez...

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Alonso thanking the team there. A true gent.

 

[mattx4]

By the last few laps Hamilton might have a pitstop in hand and make a go for fastest lap. Only to be beaten by Max on 20 lap old softs

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen pit radio - You used a lot of the tyre on the out lap Max. Not sure that was sensible.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Feel like Max and his engineer have had a falling out over the weekend. Sounded a little tense at times.

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen pit radio - This tyre had reasonable deg in the first stint. I'd ask you to use your head more.

 

[Mr Jack]

What is going on with Max and his engineer?

 

[Flibster]

Sargeant time 1:53.556 deleted - track limits turn 4 lap 33

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

What is going on with Max and his engineer?

Maybe been asked to to have a bit of a tiff, to spice up the show...

 

[KiNgPiN83]

When the main excitement of the race is max and his engineer bitching at each other…

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen radio - I can also push harder and do another stop. Little bit of pit stop training?

Pit - No. Not this time

 

[jonneymendoza]

What is going on with Max and his engineer?

At first I thought they was just having a banter
