Yes he didnt pinch the guy on the inside :wink:

What's going on between Max and his engineer?
They are have a proper lover's quarrel. I think Max is just enjoying himself like it's a sim race while his engineer is taking his job more serious than a video game. Lol
Meanwhile Perez is nowhere!!

The interest for me is Ferrari vs Mercedes.
Trying to see if Hamilton can make any inroads on Charles.

Hamilton & leclerc with what looks identical pace for the entire race. 2-3s gap for how many laps now?

Maybe it's payback for first stint when he was managing and perez was going flat out.

Interesting race because of the lack of practice but otherwise somewhat boring.
Yep, pretty uneventful, but most are. Spa always produces large gaps in the field.

The radio messages are cringe. RB/Max just playing up to it now because they get more coverage. There’s no friction with GP.

Hamilton will probably stop for FL attempt as he's got a pitstop in hand. His current PB is 1.3s off Ver.

Bono needs to pit Lewis and go for fastest lap at the end.
Max would not be able to do that if Perez stays withing the current 17 seconds.
Lewis just not catching Leclerc.

Alonso having to lift and coast so easy extra point for hamilton.
For Sure!!

Should be doable and worth getting the point IMO
