Great call by Russell if he can make this work.

I'm not so sure, He's dog slow round the mid sector. If/when Lewis takes him, he's going to be a sitting duck.

My moneys now on Piastri

Go Oscar

Yeah this talk of Lewis dragging him via DRS is a load of old balls. Haha!

Oscar lost about 2 seconds fighting with Charles there.

Honestly think this is Hamilton's to lose.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Would genuinely love to see a Russell win here. Not even a fan, just think it'd be good.
Nice move by Piastri there. Looking like a real team leader.

 

[Flibster]

Nice move by Piastri there through Les Combes

Piastri is having a cracker! He's the new iceman!

 

[Kenai]

They're really trying to play up the 'Championship Battle' thing to create some interest, as if Norris is heading into the summer about 10 points behind Max

 

[Feek]

I'm not seeing it? It a pit strategy only race?

I’m seeing a beautiful, proper race track. I’m seeing strategy coming into play, I’m seeing overtaking.

And there’s still no way of knowing how it’ll end.

Yes, I’m enjoying it.

Race control - Sainz time 1:47.358 deleted - track limits turn 4 lap 36

Lewis should be fine, if he gets past Russell then he should hold off Piastri a bit for Lewis

I enjoy this track, but I can never shake the feeling that these cars just are built for something other than racing. This place deserves better.
The strategies are interesting but I'd prefer to see stuff done on track than with tyres.

 

[steve45]

At this rate I'm rating Piastri a better driver than Norris. He's really growing into himself this season. He's got a lot of growing and learning to do, but I can see genuine potential there to be a great driver.

 

[Mr Jack]

Looks like Lewis is starting to reel him in slowly, that'll accelerate as the laps go by.

Still gets him 2nd.

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Come on Carlos, you’ve got this.

 

[RavenXXX2]

merc 1-2, never saw that coming.

Piastri isn't fast enough to catch and pass Russell.

 

[SpartaP]

Good call from Russell staying long.

F in chat for Perez.
