    It's almost inevitable there will be a corner where verstappen can either finish second or crash.

    Max has much less to risk. So he will be very difficult to pass.

    Alonso is right. A sudden puncture here and someone hits a wall.

    Wouldn't say that when masi gave him back the lead and he got a great restart.

    Hamilton is quicker in the area he needs to be.

    Verstappen is quicker where he needs tyres.to keep him quicker.

    A moment is coming here. 100%

    Also Raikkonen is now hurting verstappen badly.

    Hamilton is now well up behind verstappen.

    Unless his tyres go off big style then Verstappen has this in the bag.
