Free-ish pit and no takers ?
Lewis with a cheeky pit, correct choice for me.
Would have liked Ricciardo. Now only Hamilton can replace him.
Ferrari really cocked up there. Hamilton just got a free stop.
Kimi should have come in imo. We’ll see.
Should Seb and Kimi have pitted ? I think they have missed a chance.
Bloody Seb back at 5th
Ferrari probably cocked up again. Really no surprise anymore.
Bottas basically told to let Lewis pass , has to be the right thing to do.
Ricardo having zero luck this season..
Do Ferrari use a magic 8 ball or something? Ridiculous decision
The question is can Lewis make these tyres last for another 43 laps
Right thing to do yes but you know what, let’s one day just say “Lewis if you’re as good as everyone says you’d get past Bottas without him pulling over to the side of the road for you”.
Who’s replacing Ricciardo next year?
If he gets past Kimi, he probably won’t need to.
Gasly.
Fair comment, and I agree.
And where is Ricciardo going
Renault.
On the other hand though, if Bottas was as good as Lewis then he might also be in the title hunt by now, and then this wouldn’t be an issue. But as they’re teammates and only one of them has a chance of winning the title (not to mention they’re now on different strategies) it’s the only thing to do.
Spot on.
So Kimi just said they reckon he's on a 2 stop. I'd be amazed personally
Hard but fair from both there.
Nice battle between Kimi and Lewis. Surely Lewis is on a two-stop now, needs to pull out the gap given that the Ferrari looks virtually impossible to pass.
Brilliant from Red Bull.
Poor old Bottas
so Seb has not stopped yet , that pit will drop in down a bit.
Ferrari see Verstappen near Vettel and instantly pit Vettel 
Was a good move from Verstappen as well.
Was a good move from Verstappen as well.
Seb last a bit on that pit , rear right was a struggle for the pit crew.
Seb banging in fastest laps , not a shock with new boots on.
17 seconds ahead , if he needs it is that enough for a pit?
Don't think so. Needs a second or two more I think..
Nah, needs at least 20 seconds to come out in front. They need to be watching Verstappen rather than Kimi.
Cheers though so , his tyres dont look like they will last another 25 laps , we may see him hammer them for a few laps to get enough time.
Lewis looking at 3rd place currently, Vettel will soon be in his pit window too so could easily get worse. Only chance of wrapping it up today is if others get into trouble with their tyres too.
Is Verstappen finished with pits or has he to go in again?
Lewis is struggling on his tyres, I would be tempted to get him in, with new boots and just hammer it.
Hamilton finally pits. Mercedes got it wrong then. He needs to overtake Verstappen (and Bottas) to win the title here.
Reckon young Max has a good chance to win this
