    Judging by the whining Max is rattled and he clearly rejoined the track with the intention of stopping Lewis. Naughty boy 

    brilliant drama but I’d rather they went wheel to wheel and we see who the beast drive

    Are they having a laugh? “We’re happy to give you p2”. And now they want him ahead of Hamilton. What even is this bullshit.

    Fuck me. What a fucking mess. Offering second place without checking the positions. And did Horner really think he’d be given the place ahead of Hamilton? Farcical.

    The race has started twice so far, and they've completed sixteen laps. So there should be around five more starts required to complete the race. 

    This is fun!

    What time we think it’ll finish. Been an hour since lights out. I’ll pick 22:47.

    So Verstappen cost Hamilton the lead and he gets to start directly behind him with Hamilton losing that lead! But bizarrely, in some sort of deal or no deal situation.

    Max will try and wipe him out when he goes for the pass, you just know it

    Yup, this is a battle on track I dont like watching

    Not really a satisfactory outcome that. Verstappen essentially gets away with it again. Hamilton left the door open a bit there though.

    Merc have done a lot better on the hards this weekend and Max will have to stop on those mediums, hopefully he won't get another freebie!

    Interesting race now though. Contra-strategies, high chance of a safety car. Hamilton needs to stay in touch but look after those tyres. Something he’s usually pretty good at.

    Good move by Verstappen to be fair.

    To be fair though the Stewards should have told Verstappen to give the space back straight away - Had that happened before the red flag then the grid would still have been the same.

    He just got very lucky there was a red flag

    Hamilton has to keep Verstappen honest and wait for the mediums to drop off.

    It fixed the fact he left the track to overtake, it didn’t penalize the unsafe re-entry. Once again the only reason he didn’t cause an accident was because Hamilton took evading action. 

    You can be booked or sent off for intent on Football, should be that same in Formula 1.

    Red Bull are taking a big risk with the mediums.

    VSC has helped a little though

    Yes, it could pay off but if the tyres fall off a cliff it could really mess them up.

    Out at the Polar Express with the kids so following the race by text. From the outside so to speak this bears all the hallmarks of Max getting the luck and then a mix of virtual safety cars and dropping track temps allow the mediums to last.

    Do they think the mediums can last till the end?

    They will probably last but performance ought to drop off. The other thing that can help Red Bull is another race stop which is highly possible on this track.

    It’s all helping Hamilton too though - they changed to hards quite early so the VSCs etc are helping make sure he’ll make the end of the race too. Verstappen having to take a lot out of his tyres as Hamilton looks faster.
