It's nice to see some action at the front!

 

[Zowghi]

At least we get to see a race for P1 for once

Ah well that’s it. No DRS for Norris. Game over.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

this is so similar to yesterday. Hamilton with a DRS train behind him lol

 

[el_dazza]

Max decides that he doesn't want to race and ****s off into the distance.

Indeed - looked exciting for 1 lap....

 

[Zowghi]

ALO is closer to VER than HAM

I can't see Russell wanting to play the helpful team mate for much longer.

Win was never on even if he passed him tbh

 

[Mad_Jay]

Exciting indeed for 1 lap, then Max casually pulls out almost a second in 1 sector and says cya later.

I think Lando has wrecked his tyres. Alonso will get DRS soon.

Yea, his last lap was +1.6s on his best

Ric & Pia what was the point of them continuing they are both lap down.

Oh sorry I forgot no point racing is there. Let’s just have the engineers and mathematicians tell us who’s going to win and then they don’t even have to bother driving

Merc need to swap their cars, Lewis is nowhere at the moment

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen pit radio - Let's have a balance update Max. High speed diff setting.

Verstappen - All good. Yup everything feels very nice.

Ric & Pia what was the point of them continuing they are both lap down.

I was wondering, are they actually a lap down or is the timing wrong?

Ric & Pia what was the point of them continuing they are both lap down.

Is that real, or is it just a timing screen error because they didn't do the formation lap as a pit start?

So move Hamilton closer to the person he's fighting in the championship?

As opposed to having a car between them?

Yes. They came straight into the pits at the end of lap 1, race was suspended at the end of lap 2.
