Crofty making a drama out of nothing.

 

[Mr Jack]

Hamilton not catching at all. I think this one’s done and dusted.

Huh? He's caught up 3s?

 

[Stu999]

Just not radio calling MV would seem to be a good idea

 

[andy_mk3]

Verstappen not happy at all on radio today. Hamilton is catching. Shame there's not enough laps left

 

[UTmaniac]

Come on Tim Lewis!

Well he is now lol. No laps left though.

Just think of the bright side, had Merc sorted their strategy they could have won today

 

[el_dazza]

1 more lap and this could have been spicy!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Whenever Max's engineer speaks to him I imagine him doing it with a massive smile on his face, always sounds like he knows he's going to wind up Max.

 

[andy_mk3]

Another two laps would be nice here.

I just realised the Las Vegas circuit looks like the yellow submarine outline on the sky sports F1 website.

Lewis was 2s behind Norris before the first round of pit stops. He finishes 8s ahead. I think Merc got the strategy right.

 

[Purdy]

Some effort by Lewis, strat seemed iffy and slow stops

Interesting Lando's approach to defending vs Max (or rather, not) vs Lewis

 

[Kelt]

Meh

 

[Stu999]

Crofty so annoying. It was close at the end though. Will be interesting to hear if Max did have a genuine issue.

 

[Mr Jack]

FL for Yuki. Nice!

 

[Slam62]

Not a bad race, merc showing improvement

 

[Stumble Bum]

Interesting Lando's approach to defending vs Max (or rather, not) vs Lewis

Not really, it was different stages of the race at different points in the strategy. Lando had nothing to lose fighting Lewis but a lot more to lose earlier in the race against Max.

Contrast in radio messages between P1 and p2 tells you everything you need to know about the person.

You might be right, to be fair.

Interesting Lando's approach to defending vs Max (or rather, not) vs Lewis

I think someone should call him out on it. It’s not the first time he’s waved him by in a race, when he could legitimately challenge him.

What did Max say, I have a habit of muting the Horner love in

 

[Mesai]

Wonder whether RIC was struggling with his hand or is this just it?

Alonso did well until the end there considering he started from the pits. Stroll actually got points.
