Why dont they just bring Ham in, hes not gonna get by Ric here

Pitting this early could mean a 2-stop, I'd guess plan A is a 1-stop

 

[UTmaniac]

Started on them. Not yet pitted.

Thanks, popped away from coverage for a while and Max suddenly gained ~6 places and setting fastest laps.

I think Hamilton's tyres are in better condition and they are waiting to get some free air. Plus I am assuming hoping for some slightly fresher tyres towards the end.

Hamilton pit radio - So Lewis. pace to the cars that have stopped already, slightly slower. But it's not a big difference. We are still going for target plus 8

Turn 2 incident involving Russell noted by stewards

 

[Psycho Ned]

Bottas still behind Gasly lol.

 

[Flibster]

For just generally sucking?

No idea. First I've seen him mentioned in the data feed

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

It might be boring if it was to finish with him in the lead, but I’d love a Norris win today.
Am I just missing the master strategy here for Mercedes? Verstappen is 4 seconds behind despite the start position. That’s got to do damage once they pit and it all plays out?

Bottas pit radio - Still looking at a top 5 finish.

Turn 2 incident involving Russell noted by stewards

Huh? What incident?

 

[el_dazza]

That rain radar looks menacing.

 

[Flibster]

Russell lap time deleted - track limits turn 2

 

[Flibster]

Huh? What incident?

Looks like he left the track.

Is that ahead of Lewis

 

[Flibster]

Huh? What incident?

Looks like he left the track.

Maybe not...

Turn 2 incident involving Russell - No investigation necessary.

 

[el_dazza]

Spots of rain!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

FFS

 

[Flibster]

Ricciardo stuffed in the pits.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

What tyres did Sainz go on to? I would have thought they would have made some ground, but they are eternally 28 seconds behind.
