IMO if Vettel was going to the end, he would be driving slower.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Starting to think they can make it to the end now seb much faster than bottas so why pit now. Bottas struggling to make those tyres last, this is an exciting one for sure.

They will either go to the end or switch to SS.

Bottas is almost closer to Hamilton than he is to Vettel. I'd be surprised if he mantains his seat for next year.

I'm not sure they can pit Vettel due to them having to deal with an injured mechanic.

Nooooo poor mechanic :(

Vettel is trying not to stop. It would be amazing if it happens.

I’ll be very impressed if Vettel can bring those tires to the end on those tires with better performance over Bottas. 12 laps to go. If both Bottas and Vettel reach the cliff, Hamilton could win this.

I'm quite sure they should have a reserve mechanic for this kind of situation.

McLaren screwed up on strategy. Should have kept Fernando out on Mediums on a 1 stop strategy, to take P4.......

Alonso having fun in the mid field. Great drive by Gasly.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Bottas isn't fast enough to push Vettel. The race is for second/third.

Nice to hear multiple radio talk Ham/pit. Gives a good view of what goes on during the race. Better than the odd message about blue flags or "what is he doing?" stuff.

VET is losing 1 sec/lap, I don't think he can keep 1st position

Right until Vettel tyres possibly fall off a cliff.
