Can’t blame Botas. Why would you do anything for that lot?
Hamilton wants no.8, he can earn it himself

Verstappen will finish ahead of Hamilton here
Lando back down to 1.2secs
This race has gone shit now. Probably won't liven up again till people start pitting.
Good stuff from Russell in holding that P3
Because he’s racing a car and would want to stay ahead of another driver. He might as well not step in the car again this season if that’s the mindset. Regardless of the fact he’s being paid handsomely by Mercedes to do just that.
Its not about blaming anyone it’s simple F1 defending at the highest level.
COME ON LANDO!
Norris is pushing Sainz hard, really hope he gets past him for the win.
Merc should try the undercut with Lewis, as he’s not getting past Riccardo on track
Yes Lando!
stroll fecking over the mercs 
Yesssss get in there Lando
atta boy!
a team that turfed him and then forced him to take an engine penalty at his home race to help Lewis?
Get to feck, I’d tell them to feck off as well. he no longer owes them anything
Merc caught napping on the strategy again. Amazing how you can be exposed when you’re car doesn’t just dominate from the front every race
Mercedes asleep at the wheel again.
Love all the sparks coming of the cars at this circuit.
Mercedes really do have the worst strategists. They just always seem to get it wrong.
Amazing stat for Mclaren, the only team with a 1-2 finish this season.
Max to catch Lewis before pitting 
Won't the ones who have pitted already have to 2 stop whereas as Hamilton could be a 1 stop? With a 24 second pit stop that would mean the Merc strategy makes sense.
Bring on the rain
Those clouds look dark
Yeah, that’s possible. Merc will definitely go one stop now and out Lewis on the hards, unless it rains.
Time will tell if it’s the right call
Really surprised me, thought Red Bull and Mercedes would have had one
Come on Norris!
Rain incoming?
The mclaren disappears from the merc on the straights that don’t have DRS
Max is flying. Will be interesting to see how his tyres are going compared to Hamilton, as its obvious he is pushing very hard.
You’re acting like Mercedes are the first team to change a poor performing driver. They can’t afford to have such a poor second driver now that Red Bull have caught up.
A bit rich coming from a big Michael Schumacher fan. You think Rubin thought this way.
Interesting to see how Lewis does now in clean air. His tyres look good.
I think merc forced the mclaren pit there and Lewis would just be doing whatever Danny ric didn’t

Riccardo Let down by his pit crew
Verstappen burns out his hards before half way through the race. He probably shouldn''t have gone so hard in the early part of the race.
Max is a mardy bastard isn’t he The top drivers always are, but I imagine the engineers pull some right faces when hearing their bullshit
The top drivers always are, but I imagine the engineers pull some right faces when hearing their bullshitI think Hamilton wins this
Max will be fine on the the mediums, Lewis and Lando have shown that you can do long stints on the mediums. Rain would make this really interesting
Norris is brilliant, so calm out in front
Fast pit stop from Hamilton
Well done mclaren. Solid stop for Lando
