    I feel Charlie suckered Max into that.

    Looks like we might need to start shortening DRS straights, judging by that battle. Which is a great thing to be able to say.

    Top marks to Leclerc for staying cool under a lot of pressure.

    Sky sports really being bold and saying that Perez is in the fight for a podium.


    Thanks for that lads, with just 4 cars clear of the rest by a distance, he’s got a 3 in 4 chance <doh>

    Seriously- they look utterly lost at what to say with no Lewis and George to fawn over.


    Whilst they are taking up podium, I’m more interested in Sergio going long and trying to steal a win - it might be red bulls best bet today with Charles holding Max.

    Tsunoda seems to keep exceeding track limits but nothing said?

    Don't worry they'll start going over.merc when the next pit stops go in until everyone sails by.

    Looking dire for Hamilton. How many stops will it be at this rate?

    Well.... that was pointless. Why did they run hards at all?

    Hamilton in full on tyre saving mode. Might was well not show him until some people come to pass him

    Jesus, the Merc is 53 seconds behind the Ferrari and only just at half distance.There’s way more wrong with this car than just the porpoising

    That's a hell of a short stint on hards for Lewis. I assume they're just abandoning it because it's too slow. It can't be wear that early.

    3 min.

    They've already asked Lewis to tip toe round.

    Not a chance of points if they are eating tyres like that.

    The hards were an experiment that didn’t work. No grip.

    He couldn’t overtake when he had the best car on the grid, what chance has he in an Alfa.

    Makes no sense, does it? Although I don’t think much is going to help.
