What a pass by Russell!
Get in Russell
Mick is really showing he's a much better driver than that Haas deserves
I think Hamilton needs to gain this position on track from Sainz if he wants to finish 3rd.
Let’s go George!
Good battle between Mick and Russell
Nice Move George
Not possible unless Sainz fecks up. He's on fresh tires compared to Lewis.
Agreed. Kept his elbows out like his Dad.
May see the Vettel finger!
Come on Alpine get it right!
Mercedes need to pit Lewis with 5 laps I think to get a podium.
I still think Lewis or Sainz win this
I think so as well. Go a few more laps to get a bit more of a buffer if possible then push till the end on the freshest tyres!
Yeah, just make sure they can last the last stint.
Just realized I had alpine in my team and switched it out for Ferrari.
They need to change the rules somehow to increase the randomness. They say this track is bad for overtaking but this has been one of the more entertaining races these past years.
I think Stroll needs to get on the phone to Toto, so they can enable the special engine mode out to close the gap & get the win.
Bringing Lewis in now brings him out around Tsunoda. I think they’ll keep him out another 2-3 laps
Has Tsunoda stopped or are they keeping him out there as a sort of blocking element exactly to be in Hamilton's pit window?
Think another 5 laps and then 20 laps to get a podium.
Alonsos fresher tyres could be a problem. I think Mercedes need to make sure Lewis will be on much fresher tyres than Alonso so he doesn't get too held up by him.
Been a while
Fascinating race from here, Sainz has a chance here.
I think Merc need to put Hamilton in pit asap and forget how to unscrew the tier
I know iv mentioned this earlier today but Rosberg is such an upgrade over Di Resta, Button and Davidson. Not just analysis but commentary too. Keep Karun and Nice around they’re both very good.
Used to hate that Finger but would not mind seeing it.
I think anyone in the current top 5 has a chance here.
I have really enjoyed Rosbergs commentary. I hope they keep him around would be a great replacement for Brundle when he calls it a day.
Reckon Ocon is gonna take it unless something goes wrong for him. Sainz will close up to Seb and we'll see if Hamilton will be with him or will go for another stop. But I don't see anyone with enough differential to overtake.
HAMMERTIME
Lewis pits, this is hammertime now.
Mercedes have got it right again
It's go time for Lewis. I think he might win this still.
Those front 4 will all be pretty bunched up too by the time Lewis gets to them
Seeing how Hamilton is making his way to the podium despite everything makes me think they should do the reverse grid start anyway, but just for Verstappen and Hamilton. Race results wouldn't really change if those two started from the back, but there would be a lot more excitement in the meantime. 
Absolutely. If they’d kept him out until the end, Alonso would’ve got him I think
Haha, pretty much.Seeing how Hamilton is making his way to the podium despite everything makes me think they should do the reverse grid start anyway, but just for Verstappen and Hamilton. Race results wouldn't really change if those two started from the back, but there's be a lot more excitement in the meantime.
Hamilton took about 3-4 seconds out in 2 laps
