I would say that Hamilton has called that. Unless he is on radio whinging of course. They are always Conservative with track position. They will be happy just to have a go at bottas here and 5th and 6th is best they think they can get.
Hamilton wasn’t exactly catching Bottas before the safety car, still over 2 seconds behind for quite a few laps
Bottas bins it under no pressure. Hamilton through. Russel through. Now we will see who's no 1 at merc. Leclerc on verstappen but not got the engine yet.
Ferrari need to do something about their straight-line speed, Leclerc is fighting with one hand tied behind his back
Hmmmmm. Hamilton having a moan again. Like.... you qualified better dude, you were never starting on hards or youd have gone backwards. Wtf how has strategy gone against you? You just didnt Gamble for tyres.
Le clerc being well able.to follow but cannot cope even with drs to get verstappen is quite the message. Perez.very disappointing but you'd hope he has some excuse about car power.
The team shouldn't be so bloody passive. They just can't strat. They've never had to and they are hopeless when they need to.
Has Russell had an off somewhere, as Hamilton appeared to get back ahead before Russell re passed him?
