    Max penalty! I am surprised tbh. Ham was ahead at the point of the collision but could have left more room.

    What have Merc done to their cars? They seem so much faster in the last 2 races, is it all due to the altitude and thinner air?

    I guess the stewards argument will be that he left his nose in when there was no chance of pulling off the move.

    Still it does feel harsh with how far alongside Max was

    Never hit a Brazilian driver at Sao Paulo.

    Meanwhile Hamilton was all over his citizenship award and how great senna was only this weekend.

    But that's just coincidence.

    Sao Paulo is what altitude? I thought it by the sea?

    Mercs been coming for a while.

    Verstappen had an issue yesterday and we could see that merc was struggling to catch at highest speed.

    Preerz performance here is poor frankly.

    Verstappen just needs one safety car here and he will be right back in this.

    Dunno why the fool on commentary is talking about him not being in points cos he's sailing through field.

    Sainz is up perez hole here. That's how bad perez is doing.

    Vettel is doing very well despite his spoiled brat team mates efforts yesterday.

    Alonso is laughing at ocon so far.

    There's loads going on!

    I reckon an engine blow is the only thing that'll happen unless stroll does something idiotic.

    Just a pity Hamilton is 0laying chase here.

    Perez is a big let down for red bull. Just poor.

    Still high enough.

    We will see now cos Hamilton is all over perez now.

    Let's see the merc real pace now. Perez tyres are gone imo.

    Last time merc couldn't quite catch on straight. Should sail by.

    If not for the collision between Max and Lewis would be interesting to see how close either of those would now be to George

    I think George has the pace to still win the race even if they hadn’t collided but would have been fun to see those 3 race each other

    Yeah, mercs are not the fastest car there. That's not a sail by given the place it is.

    Perez should be ashamed of himself today l, he's never got near Russell who only has to bring it home.

    It's be 2 seconds min for either. Perez has never got near.

    Verstappen will have to pit again here.

    Imo both mercs will pit again.

    Anyone else noticed the wheel eyebrow things on the Mercs are flexing quite a bit on the straight, maybe a movable aero device?

    They are weak, the same.on red bull. Both teams have had broken ones several races that I've seen.
