Sprint to the finish, norris on hard will have a tough time
Would you say Lewis should lean on his softs through maggots and Beckets to get Norris on Stowe corner and then dictate the beginning of the next lap to gap.

Definitely, fantastic race management. Was the same in Russia until the rain.

He'll want to pass him immediately, guaranteed. Stowe without DRS is not a good overtaking spot.

was that like 6 laps of SC for a car that wasnt even crashed?

Yeah Norris has got him covered. Think Lewis tried a bit too early.

That’s the problem though, it was on track and not near a gap in the barrier.
