Hamilton's tyres are gone now too. Lost a second to Alonso somewhere.

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.
There are good battles in the middlefild.

Checo was probably saving his tyres. The distance is now +6 sec over Leclerc. Mountain out of a molehill commentary.

The data says it was a slow lap for Leclerc. 1s slower than Hamilton, 1.5s slower than Perez. Moved the gap from 4s->5.5s to Perez, and lowered gap to Ham from 3.5 to 2.5s

When was the last time there was a driver who was so clearly faster than the field? Schumacher in 1994?
