How is it embarrassing? That Merc is very unpredictable and at times difficult to drive. Also Lewis is human and prone to mistakes like us all.

That's 3 mistakes in the weekend....

Hamilton in qualify and also Russell binning it in qualify

 

[Stu999]

Charlie has some good pace.

maybe Hamilton shouldnt be overdriving an unpredictable car?
so yeh its embarrassing.

As embarrassing as Russell binning it?

 

[chrismscotland]

If Red Bull really had any control over RB you would think they would get Tsunoda out of the way of Perez....

Sainz just lost 7 tenths in one corner

Race control - Turn 15 incident involving Stroll and Albon noted - leaving the track and gaining an advantage

Didn't Hamilton have a suspension issue in the main qualifying ?

 

[Flibster]

Sainz radio - No power on exit of corners. No power.

Pit - Copy. We do see. No option at the moment. Keep you posted.

Sainz - Yeah, but it's costing me a lot.

Pit - I know

Sainz - It smells like fuel

 

[.:MBK:.]

Fuel leak? Don't hear that often these days

 

[Flibster]

Sainz radio - It smells a lot like fuel in the car guys.

[Mr Jack]

Leclerc comfortably faster than Max at this point.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Looks like leclerc has this barring horrible pace on a different compound. Verstappen v Sainz/McLaren might be interesting but I don't think McLaren have the pace to fight for podium.

Would not be surprised to see the top 5 remain the same for the rest of the race

 

[Flibster]

Leclerc pit radio - If you keep this gap to Verstappen we are happy with Plan A. Our baseline is still plan B

Leclerc - Yeah, I want probably plan B or C

Oh god.. here we go.
