Lewis is nearly within DRS of Leclerc

AH yes , I was reading the timings wrong.he's 3.3 behind him
Dont agree that Leclerc should shut up, he'd clearly been told to give Vettel a tow and not try to defend from Lewis and that he'd be given the place back. Vettel might not have needed it but Leclerc wasnt defending, you'd expect to see him move to the inside, break the tow.
AH yes , I was reading the timings wrong.
When they first asked for the swap, I'm pretty certain he had a few seconds on Hamilton who was coasting, both Ferrari's had scampered away after the safety car. Vettel delayed, Mercedes told Hamilton to give everything to get within DRS range and the chance was lost.If he is going to expect a swap he at least needs to keep up and lose Hamilton. He can't expect Seb to slow down and put himself in Hamilton's DRS range.

And what's the point?When he first asked about it he was already almost 2 seconds behind Vettel; if Vettel had slowed enough to engineer a swap Hamilton would have absolutely been right on Vettel as a result.
I dont buy this has been the strategy. Vettel just made the perfect start.So leclerc did what team told him to do and yet he is the one spoilt? To be fair, vettel has been faster on race pace so would be retarded to do the swap now.
Just fecking race, they can swop back through the pits if necessary.So leclerc did what team told him to do and yet he is the one spoilt? To be fair, vettel has been faster on race pace so would be retarded to do the swap now.
Not necessarily, Hamilton was a few seconds behind Leclerc and wasn't pushing and drivers have slowed by that to let drivers through before.When he first asked about it he was already almost 2 seconds behind Vettel; if Vettel had slowed enough to engineer a swap Hamilton would have absolutely been right on Vettel as a result.
I agree that they should swap in the pits but I can totally understand why would he be pissed if this was discussed beforehand.Just fecking race, they can swop back through the pits if necessary.
Him whining on the radio is just unnecessary, especially after he said he wasn't doing it again after last week.
Yeah but seems like leclerc didnt defend which he would have otherwise. Maybe vettel would have overtaken him anyway but can understand his perspective.I dont buy this has been the strategy. Vettel just made the perfect start.
