    Hamilton is already in the next postcode. Crazy how much pace Mercedes found in the last 4 races. Suddenly RBR just can't get close on a Sunday.

    Hamilton is having it easy. He will sail by on the stright with Perez.

    They've gone for the whatever they do we do strategy here which is probably sensible and now they also have the option to run to end and see if they really feel the need.

    That's why they took the extra one at brazil though so I assume theres zero drama coming there.

    Perez playing the team game to perfection, but it won't matter. Hamilton is too quick. He'll just pull away again.

    Yup. It's all over. Just settle in for the quick laps now and get the job done.

    Perez winning the ace number 2 crown there. Can't see Bottas holding Perez up any time soon.

    I can't see why there's even any debate about the first lap shenanigans.

    Brundle is just factually wrong and I don't get it.

    I really can't wait to see George in that Merc next year! It's wasted on Bottas.

    So simple, just drive away from the guy again. Build the gap and whatever they do on pit stops then just repeat the trick
