    Hopefully someone at Mercedes has taped the this race to show Bottas what teamwork is.

    tactically you can't fault RBR... in Quali the tow was great ... The Plan A' re Perez holding up LH worked a treat. I just have a feeling the Merc and LH may have a bit too much for RB/MV in a straight race. I suppose a safety car or Red flag could change things but for now Hamilton is around .2 second faster per lap in clean air.

    The track is a lot better than it used be, but with it still being a one stop it may a 2nd half precession, baring a safety car or similar to spice it up.

    Toto wolf trying to direct the race now. Safety is what matters, not what lead your driver has.
    I really wish that teams were banned from contacting the FIA during races and that goes for everyone

    This could be some very exciting last few laps.

    I imagine Max will catch him. What drama we could yet see.

    I don't think he will. I reckon Lewis's tyres will be comfortable. You know what he's like

    Lewis complaining about tyres is a universal constant in F1 isn't it! No Hamilton Looks like he has enough in hand here.
    A safety car would be a nightmare for him though.

    Not so sure. I think RBR may have judged the VSC better . Possibly Merc should have pulled LH in for new tyres the same. MV has a huge tyre advantage now. And he can also manage tyres

    Why does the Red Bull radio guy sound like the puppet in the Saw movies?

    He doesn't need to manage now just push like crazy. If Merc had come in Red bull surely would have stayed out.

    As I type this.. MV seems to have lost a bit of momentum he needs over a second per lap whereas when he came out he needed .8 to catch LH. Unless Hamiltons tyres fade very rapidly he may not catch him
