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

As opposed to having a car between them?

WCC means more than 2nd in the WDC. If it compromises both cars then why do it.

Where are the Ferrari's in this race? They're the 3rd place challengers.

So George thought they were working as a team and Lewis just doesn't give a damn about helping his team mate.

Russell with some radio sass

Judging by what Merc were saying before the race i don’t think they expected to be able to keep Perez behind

NOR was just asked to start to pull a gap to ALO

20 odd points is hardly comfortable.

Nobody remembers 2nd in the WDC, but they will remember missing out on several million dollars if something goes horribly wrong.

 

[sidimmu]

anyone else bored already? Perez will get 2nd.

Ricciardo radio - Does Yuki have a problem or make a mistake?

Pit - Made a mistake. He made a mistake. Let's try to pass Sargeant and then we help Yuki

Norris is not that far behind Max. Is the undercut a thing here?

Maybe the Mercs better on medium?

 

[chrismscotland]

Could really do with a Sargent inspired safety car here

 

[Zowghi]

Maybe the Mercs better on medium?

We're about to find out!

Didn't say it was comfortable, I just asked where the Ferrari's were in the race. At that point they were retired and 8th. As opposed to 4th and 6th for Mercedes.

If they swapped positions, they'd still be ahead of the sole Ferrari. So get Hamilton the maximum points for the chance at 2nd in the championship.

ALO - "So, Fernando Perez has boxed but you were pulling away from him. Your pace is good. Keep using the tyres now."

Still a brick in the a straight line though.

 

[Zowghi]

Perez has to do that all over again. Either the undercut works, or a slow stop?

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen radio - Wind is picking up

 

[Stu999]

Hopeless that they didn’t pick up Perez’s pit exit on the TV coverage.

 

[Flibster]

Zhou retiring.

 

[Zowghi]

Lando is extending his stint even further
