Perez just showed more race craft in a few laps than Verstappen this whole year

Yep, fair play. Great skills from both of them there.

Yep. And just shows the value of a decent teammate in a title fight. I wonder if Russell will be a bit more elbows out than Bottas has been

So can these hard tyres survive 43 laps?

+ 1 on great fair racing from Perez.

There's going to be more trouble yet I reckon!

Looking like Max will get this now

I'd rather be behind on fresher tyres for sure. Hamilton usually likes staying out long but sounded nervous about it this time. Looks like Verstappen isn't making the progress he needs though. I just hope Hamilton's tyres don't fall of the cliff.

This is nail biting stuff. Fingers crossed for Hamilton!

How hopeless is Bottas at passing ffs? As a 1 stopper he should've got himself right back into this but he's been more reliant on those in front coming in than overtaking them

He has a pretty massive horsepower deficit I believe. Toto said yesterday that Bottas qualified really well considering the state of the power unit.

Oh FFS a safety car

Is this another strategy cock up by Merc?

Safety car is going to decide the championship

1 nervous lap

This is stupid

Ffs. Thats outrageous making that change at the last minute

FFS. That way stupid!

What a crap decision

WTF was that?
