Seems like the best thing to do. Merc get that extra point.

Flibster · 2 May 2021 at 16:35

Softs for Bottas and Verstappen - fastest lap race now.

Perez going for it as well...

The battle for one point

CaptainRAVE · 2 May 2021 at 16:36

Hamilton is right. Not worth the risk for 1 point.

Flibster · 2 May 2021 at 16:37

Good move for Gasly there, Sainz out of the points.

Bottas - 1:19.865

Stumble Bum · 2 May 2021 at 16:37

This fastest lap point seems a little silly regardless that not much is happening on track.

Flibster · 2 May 2021 at 16:38

Aaaand there's number 97...

CaptainRAVE · 2 May 2021 at 16:38

Such a risk for 1 point - a locked wheel nut, engine goes pushing it, end up in the gravel somewhere.

Kenai · 2 May 2021 at 16:38

It feels like this is more a battle of bragging rights for fastest lap rather than the point that's available

Flibster · 2 May 2021 at 16:38

Verstappen - 1:19.849

When did they put that slight uphil on the last corner/start finish straight?

muon · 2 May 2021 at 16:39

Mercedes messed up there. Should have realised they were gifting Verstappen the point.

CaptainRAVE · 2 May 2021 at 16:39

Mercedes seem like the team to beat now.

Reliability is going to be everything.

Stumble Bum · 2 May 2021 at 16:40

Mercedes giving Max a chance to earn a point on Hamilton. Oof!

Yeah, I think I would’ve just let Perez take it than let Max take it..

Mr Jack · 2 May 2021 at 16:41

German commentary team seem to think Max exceeded track limits on that lap?

Indeed, they should have left it so it was a lap too late for Max to try it too

Edit - lol deleted, point back to Bottas

Flibster · 2 May 2021 at 16:42

Verstappen lap time deleted - track limits turn 14.

Bottas gets fastest lap.

Sky team reckoned the same.

He looked wide on one of the last corners but I can never understand which line is the one they can’t go over.. lol

Rate the 2021 Portuguese Grand Prix out of ten
