    He will get close, but he will smash his tyres closing and it will plateau

    The smaller teams prob have a few **** parts on cars about to break so I'd not be shocked to see another virtual safety car to neutralise this.

    If Lewis starts to really lose lots of time, and chance of giving him some softer tyres and have him chase Max down?

    Wonder if Bottas might stop on track with 2 laps to go.

    They are hard though so they dont cliff imo. They will be marginal but I doubt they will be down to canvas here. Theres also not the kerb issue?

    Hamilton still has this.

    Max isn't that much faster and Lewis knows how to make the tyres last.

    They are trying to get Perez to close gap so if Lewis pits he would have to pass both red bulls

    45 laps on the tyres. It's a lot but the fuel loads are down.

    Gap is not dropping fast enough. Hamilton is responding enough to give himself the gap he needs to coast the final lap.

    Hamilton has the same pace as Max on 23 lap older tyres.
