Max is catching.

Never think that RBR car is not a danger!

Norris is stopping too early I reckon. Last pitstop should be around lap 48-49 for them

I agree. Max will be getting close by the end.

Only 4 seconds in front of Lewis with leclerc behind him. Was getting close.

They had 2-3 more laps on Lewis before needing to pit. And the offset to Verstappen will be significant towards the end of the race. Verstappen is not out of the equation here.

I don´t get it. when you need 1 driver in front than say it and do it, no problem in this wdc stand. There is no need to risk that the med tire fall of at the end and got caught by someone else.

They pitted way to early... and damaged their tires with gravel and breaking.... Verstappen might get in front by the end....

Very strange call from McLaren, there was no need to cover Hamilton, I agree with the call to swap, but I don't think Lando will listen

They are the team in front... at least on this track, and they still have second violin mindset... that just doesn't work.

I think Lando will let him by on the last lap

He'll be angry but it's fair

Annoying that McLaren put both drivers in this position though.

Max was catching Lando drastically. The RBR is still fast. They couldn't just sit and let everyone past, and Max catch up.
