2019 Hungarian Grand Prix - Hungaroring, August 2-4

[Restomaniac]

Top 2 with almost identical times. Clearly both driving to a delta.

[Juzh]

8 laps in, ferrari 9s behind

[Restomaniac]

My mistake, Bottas is the one trying to hit others...

TBH it wasn’t Bottas doing the hitting.

[Restomaniac]

Pit Hamilton now for the Hard tyre? Bottas is flying along now.

[Phil]

I'm thinking the same... bring Hamilton in early and do the untercut.

I'm thinking the same... bring Hamilton in early and do the untercut.

Yep, there is also a massive gap to stick him in.

[Pyrone89]

Merc W10 is faster. They can easily stay within 2 seconds on a track where dirty air is big. Ham wil get Verstappen through the pit or a SC

[Phil]

I'd do it as soon as Verstappen is about to hit traffic. If Verstappen beats them, then keep Hamilton out.

The Ferraris are in the way to do that. Hamilton would be stuck behind them after the stop. Don't forget, it's hard to overtake on this track.

[Phil]

True, I didn't see that the Ferrari's are right about there. Damn, that doesn't help Hamilton.

[Restomaniac]

True, I didn't see that the Ferrari's are right about there. Damn, that doesn't help Hamilton.

However if Verstappen is losing his tyres then it plays into Hamiltons hands.

[F1NAC]

Why does FIA still tolerate that fake merc pit in?

[JonoNic]

Verstappen just needs to be faster than the fastest hard tyre lap then he can wait a lap a after Hamilton pits. Or has mediums come into play already?

[Just_a_fan]

Why does FIA still tolerate that fake merc pit in?

Well, they give fake unsafe release penalties...

[JonoNic]

I can't watch it live. Verstappen pits?
