Yeah gap going back up. Stand down guys. lol.

As dear old Murray was saying 40 years ago, catching is one thing passing is quite another.

Especially in these barges and especially on this hopeless track for overtaking!

Norris gave it his all. Don’t think it’s going to be enough. It’s still good to see someone giving Max a good run to the end of the race.

Yeah I mean what pace advantage do you need to breeze past someone nowadays. 0.4-0.5secs? So catching by that much is all well and good but then as you come up behind it turns into a 0.10-0.20secs which is not good enough for these boats.

I’m obviously hoping Lando is going to prove me wrong given the gap now

Karun sounded happy for Ocon getting up to 14th. Bet Ocon is not happy. Gasly 17th.

Race control - Norris time 1:20.564 deleted - track limits turn 6 lap 62

 

[utajoker]

Wouldn't get him with another 10 laps. Only real chance is down the straight

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Norris couldn’t have done any more, pushed that car to the absolute limit and almost past it on a few occasions.

Race control - Bottas time 1:26.165 deleted - track limits turn 18 lap 61

 

[UTmaniac]

boo.

 

[Stu999]

Well done Max. Good effort Landooooo. Thought it was in the bag for Max after 10 laps or so.

 

[Flibster]

Has the safety car been deployed yet?

 

[spook2575]

Good try from lando

 

[Stu999]

Didn’t realise Piastri was up to 4th too. Good job.

 

[Tejstar]

Wasn't meant to be for Lando - encouraging how close it was at the end though!

 

[Scam]

Damnit we needed a couple more laps to see what would happen if Lando put some real pressure on Max.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Good effort from Norris but a bit like Arsenal chasing City in a minute, never gonna happen

Be nice if Lando can actually keep Max honest for the rest of the season though.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Verstappen had to work for that.

 

[Tejstar]

Really hope we see Max pushed more earlier in the race in the upcoming GP's.

 

[SpartaP]

So close for Lando! Ahhhh so close needed 1 or 2 more laps.

Norris onboard on those worn tyres so F'in impressive. The boy can pedal
