    How.much contact was there between ocon/hamilton/verstappen?

    Did the front wing get a rub?

    Will verstappen get a puncture?

    Minor miracle that Hamilton avoided damage there

    Hamiltons front wing certainly hit ocon big time.

    Lewis messed up there, he left too much space on inside.

    If verstappen doesn't push now he will have to ram hamilton off.

    Once drs comes it's going to get dangerous

    it's only for SC restarts, not formation standing starts, and was bought in because of redbull.

    You have to keep up on formation laps. It's the opposite.

    If you didnt cars would take 2 mins to come round to again advantage every week.

    I still think there’s another pit stop for both, with Hamilton going to mediums and Verstappen to hards.

    Only question now is simple enough.... can verstappen keep hamilton out of drs. If he cannot then this is going to be a walk over.

    Even massi said it wasn't a formation lap. It was included in the lap count.

    Catch up 1. Hamilton closes to 0.7seconds. Twisty bit Hamilton gets a massive twitch and is back to1.5. Now back to 1.2

    Another safety car coming front wing is deadly dangerous.

    Hamilton is getting to drs range and then verstappen flies away in twisty bits before the advantage can count.

    Hamilton has the pace and his advantage is only going to get bigger. The dirty air is brutal though.

    Bottas not getting past Ricciardo is ridiculous
