    yeah, I said 50/50 but looking again I think Perez has given him the room.

    Hope Ferrari dont start packing up now Leclercs out. Vettel will come in for his stop to find they've all gone home.

    Hopefully George isn't taking too much from tyres. Albon won't be in car next year.

    Perez could get a podium if he can manage his tyres?

    I know there's a ways to go here. But this is conclusive if you ask me. Bottas just doesn't have it in him. Get Russell in that car next season somehow.

    Le ~Clerc owning the crash, the guy is class, whilst Max bitching about him doing what Max does week in week out.

    It’s going like a dream for George. Don’t break your track rod though.

    How did Bottas lose so much time?

    Russell was flying. Left him out too long.

    Mercedes always screw Bottas with stops, why didn't they pit him next lap, they do it every race to him though he is the modern day Barrichello so doesn't really matter.

    The only way I can see that happening is if they pay Bottas off massively . Or if Toto steps back and who ever takes his place is more ruthless .m

    Can't really see advantage of George next year. Merc with Lewis should win drivers and Bottas will bring them constructors. So what is there to gain?
    I would like to see George in Merc next year :)
