Right. Here we go. Let's see how much pace them fresher tyres will give Hamilton.

Hards. Seems right
Excellent strategy race this one.
Max having to clear those 4 back markers now but obviously Lewis will need to do the same shortly
Worth putting some money on Perez at 26/1, in the event Max and Lewis take each other out?
Yes, for sure.
You never know. They've done it in the past. I wouldnt put big money on it though.
Hamilton will catch Max easy here. Great strategy by Merc
Lewis needs a miracle
Not so sure, he hasn't closed the gap at all yet
He’s bringing the tyres in, Max will be tyre limited at the end, Lewis won’t be.
Might be Verstappen needing a miracle. Hamilton is gaining quick.
Granted it might be because of traffic.
naah, that will be a comfortable one for Lewis.
Going to be fireworks at the end
Three minutes since that, shredded 4s off him since that
Only just started watching.
Can Lewis win, he looks faster than Max.
Can Lewis win, he looks faster than Max.
He has way fresher tyres, he should have a good chance
No more traffic, we'll see the pure pace difference.
All about tyres and strategy today. Max has the faster car IMHO but Merc strategy has evened it up
I think Max might just squeeze this out. Lewis wearing the tyres out against the back markers.
Cheers.
Lewis tyres are much fresher than Maxs and Max had much more trouble behind the back markers than Hamilton.
Surely Lewis is easily going to catch him.
How is this more true for Lewis than Max? We also need to remember in 7-8 laps Max's tyres will be struggling.
Catch yes. Pass?
Max can pit and get the fastest lap at the end, Hamilton could time it right and do it on the last lap!
Unless Lewis makes a big mistake, I think this is over.
Cheers for the updates.
Should be a good last few laps
Bottas down in 7th with a new engine is a shock.

Passing is another story. We all know when it comes to the time Max will get dirty.
He hasn’t got there as quick as I thought but then he doesn’t need to.
Is this your first time watching Bottas? He's terrible at coming through the pack.
I think Max will make his car huge and eek out the win
Lewis needs to get close enough and get a good enough exit against that turbulent air. I don't think it's a foregone conclusion. He's only taking a few tenths off every lap, behind another car it's going to be difficult.
That's a nice euphemism for driving all over the track
Max isn’t dropping off yet, this will go to the end.

I think Lewis is also managing his tyres to make sure he has lots of life left.
thought he might do better with a new engine.Merc called it at the pit. All in the last 3 laps
