[Flibster]

Ricciardo radio - Ok tyres phase 3.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton and Russell for Merc next year?

Would love to see that.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton and Russell for Merc next year?

Yes please! Would be good for Russell to get experience ready for the handover.

 

[vanpeebles]

Bottas fail - check
Max crash - check
Vettel lock up - check
Just need Ferrari screwing up for a line!

All eyes on the pitstops

 

[el_dazza]

No way Russell gets into that Merc whilst Hamilton's still at the team.

 

[adam cool dude]

If GR wins Mercedes should just remove all sponsorship and paint IDDQD down the side of their cars next race.

 

[Participant]

Odds on him being replaced with Russell next year some time

I think that's a fair prediction.

No way Russell gets into that Merc whilst Hamilton's still at the team.

Is that because Hamilton is worried about having too competitive a team mate?

Sky F1 did a great interview (on YouTube) with Brundle, Hamilton, and Wolff, and they mentioned contract discussions.

Hamilton was talking about how it's normally the little details that are discussed at length, rathe than the quids; I wonder if one of those details is who gets to be his team mate and who doesn't.

Norris pit radio - Lando, how are the tyres? How are the tyres?

Norris - They're ok. Tyres are fine. Just struggling in the dirty air. I got no rear.

Pit - Lando, Box if behind albon. Box if behind Albon.

 

[Mr Jack]

No way Russell gets into that Merc whilst Hamilton's still at the team.

Only reason he isn't for '21 is because Claire wouldn't release him.

 

[Flibster]

Kvyat radio - Let's undercut these guys, come on.

Pit - We're looking at traffic. We're on it.

Williams is done since she took over, they should let him go.

 

[Flibster]

Aaaand that's Raikkonen lapped....

Magnussen lap time deleted - track limits turn 8

You're so ******* boring.

See link in sig. Thanks. Bye.

Aitkin lap time deleted - track limits turn 8

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Sounds like a one stopper. Certainly for Mercedes.

 

[utajoker]

Cant help think hamilton would have checked out at the front dropping bottas by several more seconds

 

[Flibster]

Norris pit radio - And Lando, gap to Perez is 24.1 if we can continue with a 58.5 pace. That's good.

Norris - But they're miles quicker than us, so will I compromise my race by trying to go too quick to beat them?

Pit - Lando, if we don't race them, there is no race for us.

Norris - Ok.

 

[Danthus]

Russell extending the lead and a fastest lap.

 

[Flibster]

Bottas lap time deleted - track limits turn 8

We all want something to challenge the Merc next season surely? This race is shining a spotlight on that.
