How quickly Hamilton passes these four cars will decide the race

The tyres will never make it, he'll have no grip by the end of the race.

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Merc had no choice, it’s that or give up track position and then max gets to dictate the passing. They were in the worst spot
They could've pitted one lap later, the VSC phase was still active.

The Mercedes is just OP, Max can barely make up any time. It's over, unless there is a SC now.

I think it ended too early. Max would have been at full speed while Lewis was in the pits, so the 17s gap was not enough.

Are you guys watching the same race I am? Verstappen would never take 1s per lap, not even in his wildest fantasies.

Unlike Saudi, the VSC ended promptly when Gio was safe. Lewis fan but I don’t think there was any FIA nonsense there

Max is going to have to lap these cars to overtake. Could decide absolutely everything where he catches them up

He's not even gaining now. There's no way bar tire failure he'll make this.
