But that only gets Lewis 2nd. If Bottas could push Vettel Merc could have a 1 2.

I can’t see Vettel’s tyres surviving any kind of pressure late in the race,

I'd be inclined to pit Hamilton now and let him charge.

I like that but only 11 laps left so 16 + 24 sec can't see him being able to do that. Pity

Finally Lewis told to put hammer down. I thought I team had said -1.2 sec suggesting he was in danger earlier. But sounds like comms to lewis suffering, I suspect telemetry not working correctly.

if the regs allowed them to race properly, Lewis wouldn't need to know how hard he is allowed to push, he should just be able to go for it.

That mechanic looked very badly hurt.

Hamilton looks boned to me. Unless vettel tyres puncture.

Bottas isn't really getting there.

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Bottas needs to put every mode and burn those tyres I think he burned them at the outset of stint.

Vettel is precalling blues for alonso

No love lost between them

Hamilton can't catch now.

Bottas needs to push.

Alonso is key now

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

All just waiting now

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Hamilton's toast

 

[SgtBhaji]

Those tyres still look pretty good on the Ferrari tbh.

 

[ched999uk]

Lap times within 0.1 of each other in top 3.

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

1second a lap needed

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

I think last lap pass possible here

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

It's coming now.

Last lap pass is on.

Would be good but Merc only closing at 0.7 a lap!

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Gasly driver of day?
