Hamilton may as well stay out now.

Bottas and max have some good history.

Needs a VSC for SC to win though.

Losing time quickly.

CaptainRAVE · 3 Nov 2019 at 19:40

That Ferrari is quick in a straight line. Wait...

Mr Jack · 3 Nov 2019 at 19:47

Mercedes think Max will two stop, apparently. That seems... optimistic.

Even if they do they’ve caught Hamilton now, so I don’t see what he’d gain? Also, Bottas is about to get held up.

A lot. When Hamilton pits he will gain on Verstappen. A massive undercut.

If they pit again.

Haha, Hamilton staying out!!!

Flibster · 3 Nov 2019 at 19:52

It's an interesting one.

He was the first to pit, so 42 laps on the hards and racing...

Stumble Bum · 3 Nov 2019 at 19:53

Hamilton is no fool

Flibster · 3 Nov 2019 at 19:53

Mercedes call in Hamilton.
Hamilton - I wanna go longer
Mercedes mechanics in pit lane... Ummm.. where is he?

But you said, even if they do.

CaptainRAVE · 3 Nov 2019 at 19:57

So it might be Bottas and max on fresher tyres vs Hamilton. That could be good.

Flibster · 3 Nov 2019 at 20:03

According to Sky Italy Ferrari have switched Leclerc onto Plan C.

muon · 3 Nov 2019 at 20:03

They sound really confident Bottas and Verstappen are 2 stopping.

Is plan c to bunny hop over one of the sossie kerbs and cut half the track out mario kart style?

vanpeebles · 3 Nov 2019 at 20:11

He tried just then!

CaptainRAVE · 3 Nov 2019 at 20:11

Hamilton could well stay in second as a minimum.

muon · 3 Nov 2019 at 20:12

Wow, will Hamilton have life left at the end if Verstappen had to pit so early and take mediums.

Bottas covering Verstappen.

CaptainRAVE · 3 Nov 2019 at 20:13

Hamilton ‘doubting’ his tyre life. While opening up the gap.

Edit: gap gone!

He’s always doubting his tyre life

muon · 3 Nov 2019 at 20:15

Bottas will have him. Too many laps. Question is whether Verstappen can close the gap (at current pace, will easily, but thats on new mediums).

Rate the 2019 United States Grand Prix out of ten
