I bet only reason Perez is on track is to steal fastest lap at the end if needed.

Race is starting to fizzle out.

only way Perez could steal fastest lap is if he hacked the FIA computer

Max is 9 seconds off Hamilton. Don’t think he’s catching.

Yeh changed a lot since I made the post. Max has slowed. He was catching originally, even with traffic to overtake.

Russell radio - Just sliding bigtime. Just sliding all the way through that corner

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

goddamnit, i thought the overhead camera on the rail was debris in the middle of the track

Loving Colapinto. Doesn't care for anyones reputation at all and way better than Logan ever did.

If McLaren have their usual superior tyre deg on the hard tyre then it should start to see it kick in soon.

 

[muon]

If there is a SC Lando should change tyres. Won't hold on against Ferraris with fresh tyres. Could lose out to Mercedes as well.

 

[Mr Jack]

Mercedes are very slow, so Max should still end up 4th, 20s behind Lando.

Max is on older tyres, having chewed through the first set faster than everyone else. If he tries to push, he'll have to two stop - if he doesn't already.

So piastri "accidentally" bins it with 3 laps to go. Safety car, whole field classes up. Verstappens 20 seconds puts him out of the points.

Why wouldn't you?

 

[.:MBK:.]

Missed the first 45 laps guess I've missed the good stuff

What 20 seconds? He served his penalty already at the pit stop

Edit: and B its cheating, didn't go well for Briatore

Max has already served the 20s.

Also a team got pubished for doing this before.

 

[Scam]

Max will be back in the pits for more tyres in the next 15 laps.

Will he?

Edit: They need to be promising Piastri all the coke and hookers he wants for a weekend to get him to put some effort into attacking Max. Seems like he doesn’t care right now.

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

Franco takes fastest lap for the moment 1:20.090

 

[Journey]

Will he?

It looked that way, but maybe not now the track is cooling and he has slowed down.

I think Norris will have a free pitstop soon, if he can't get past Leclerc.

 

[Flibster]

Russell's front wing flaps are indeed looking very flappy

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Is the gap to leclerc closing based on tyre deg or traffic ?

edit: it was traffic as he lost time to Sainz
