Bit naughty there by Leclerc? Was that a bit late - it was old-school Max.

Noticed one of the Red Bull mechanics standing out at the corner of their box as Hamilton pitted. Looked to be a deliberate ploy to mess his exit slightly.

If Mercedes aren’t careful they are going to allow Verstappen a run at fastest lap with the big gap between Bottas and he.

I’d bring Bottas in now for his stop and let him get Verstappen into his window

Max starting to benefit from Lewis having to clear the backmarkers. Now they know the leaders are coming, that should help Max a bit.

Pit Bottas now...

why are you hyping up his chances? there is ZERO chance for him purely on pace... backmarkers or not... as I said - Lewis is simply cruising, the pit stop strat to mirror Max was just another sign that they have plenty in hand to win this _easily_

I'm not hyping anything. I'm merely commenting on what is happening,

[Restomaniac]

Idiots!!!

[InsaneX_Badger]

Bottas strikes Bottas again. Feel sorry for him.

[Just_a_fan]

Pit Bottas now...

Shame they didn't - he's now screwed.

[Juzh]

So tyres simply worn down to nothing?

[El Scorchio]

Puncture for bottas. If he didn’t have bad luck then he’d have none at all.

[Just_a_fan]

Good result for Red Bull with Perez now in P3. Not close enough to mess with Hamilton's pit strategy, however.

[El Scorchio]

That’s worked out beautifully for Red Bull. They can give Verstappen a shot at fastest lap for free.
