Tyre life is so bad for a lot of the cars that Perez is up to P6!

Correction... P4?!

 

[utajoker]

Hamilton took over 1 second out of veratappen this lap

 

[Flibster]

Russell pit radio - Yeah, we thing safe thing though is to keep the position ahead of Verstappen. Not come out on top of him

 

[Stu999]

Norris getting stuck behind Gasly hasn’t been good for him.

Hamilton pit radio - yeah Lewis, it won't be long. So just use the tyres.

Hamilton - Tyres are still ok

Aston Martin… Full on clown mode this weekend.

Joined by Ocon too.

Hamilton pit radio - Yup we're sure. So Box Box. Hard tyre is the best. Gonna lose 3 positions. Watch the white line.

Hamilton - What the hell man? How many places have I just lost?

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Not sure why Hamilton is so surprised there. Did he think all the other cars just disappeared, or retired from the race?

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton pit radio - Uh we would have dropped another 5 places if we had hung it out any longer

 

[Flibster]

Engine goes pop for Gasly

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Aww, Gasly.

 

[Stu999]

Bad luck for Gasly.

Shame for Gasly, he deserved better today. Anyone know why Ocon had to make an extra stop?

 

[Flibster]

So the hard tyre on Perez lasted 18 laps. Only 5 laps longer than Hamilton's medium tyre.

Oh dear.
