    Whilst there have been poor decisions in the past 2008 Spa was it v Raikonnen?), this isn’t one of them- it’s his team who have let him down.

    I still think he might win all 3 in the Middle East with a new engine but it’s about limiting the cushion Max has to manage his way to the title.

    He's benefited from joke decisions like Canada 2020 which was a joke and a few others to. Still think Verstappen has another DNF in him

    Bottas needs to get into beast mode and fight Max hard to the point where Max has to think twice instead of being able to manage.

    I half think a surprise result is on the cards tomorrow- it has that feel doesn’t it!!

    Max to win serenely now I’ve said that <laugh>

    This is a weird situation when you think about it, because the sprint offers an opportunity to lessen the impact of the penalty on race day.

    If he can somehow climb in to the top 10, which could be an ask, we might still have a race....but then there's still the 5 spot penalty to take too!

    Baaaaah. No, it's done. Talked myself out of hope. :(

    I really don't think he does. He's on some serious form.

    It's ridiculous to even think that a, they would do that, because we all know how harsh the penalties could be, and b, Bottas doesn't give a **** atm.

    The rig looks like it is pushed through the wing so clearly there.must be some flex there and the force.must not be less than 10. It kind of makes sense as everyone ought to be seeking to be 84.95mm of open gap.

    The sky lads did a bit on it.

    Anyway this could be really good.

    Right decision, Mercedes dropped the ball in a big way and Red Bull have made the most of it.

    Hamilton needs to be flawless, win the last 3 and hope for a retirement. That might just about be enough.

    Very true as shown in Mexico

    Max takes Lewis out totally RACING INCIDENT

    Lewis does not let Max bully him TEN SECOND PENALTY

    I dont think it is actually against Lewis in person BUT F1 are doing everything they can to have a new FI Champion

    I can see a Red Bull 1,2 by the end of lap 1. Bottas has not started well this year!

    Botta has to go for it early, has a big straight to tow after the Senna esses where his softs should give him the advantage.

    Very interesting aggressive tyre choice for bottas.

    This is going to be good.

    This sprint race has been pretty good so far to be fair.

    Bottas will be toast by the end, surely.

    Impressive effort from Hamilton. Figured top 10 would be a solid result.
