    I think Lewis is having a go then cooling/recharging for a couple of laps then trying again?

    It’s not way Hamilton attacks though. If it doesn’t work he will wait rather than degrade his tyres unduly. If the Red Bull does use its tyres more than the Merc which seems to be the way, he will bide his time.

    Still can't see it happening. The delta to pass here is huge and the red bull isn't exactly slow in a straight line any more.

    Isn't it great that they are so close.

    If it were anyone other than Lewis I would say no chance but there is a slight chance he could do it.

    Bottas not gaining on Max yet Lewis absolutely ate into the lead- there is a big difference between those two drivers.

    This is a Hamilton win for me, can't see Max having anything to fight with, if he even makes it to the end without pitting.

    This track has disappointed me to many times to be fooled by a chance for a battle for the win.

    Newer tyres now but not on the last stint really.

    The midfield is greabagain isn’t it- Sainz, Norris, Ricc, Ocon all fighting it out amongst their 3 respective teams- let’s hope it’s that close for wins in the new regs!
